Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth paragraphs of the text, from the Preface. In these sections, Hegel discusses the kind of refutation that would be appropriate to basic propositions or principles of philosophy -- dialectically advancing them further, within the context of a developing system. He then begins to discuss the Absolute as Spirit, and the priority in actuality of Spirit. He also works with the interplay between the "in itself", "for itself," and "for us". Spirit as dialectically developed knows itself through Science -- and keep in mind that Hegel means something more self-reflective and historically aware by "Science" than much of what goes under that name today. In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph. This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come. I'll be using and referencing the A.V. Miller English-language translation of the Phenomenology, which is available here: http://amzn.to/1jDUI6w The introductory music for the video is: Solo Violin - BWV 1004 - Partita for Violin No. 2 - Recorded in Brooklyn June 26, 2011 specifically to be dedicated to the Public Domain If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!
