Understanding Hegel: The High Priest of Modernism

In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by philosopher Dr. Cadell Last, who runs the YouTube channel "Philosophy Portal" (which has plenty of fantastic introductory lectures and podcasts on philosophy), to discuss Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.

This podcast attempts to help us understand the philosophy of Hegel by demystifying Hegel's confusing Terminology in works such as The Phenomenology of Spirit and The Science of Logic. I ask Cadell to break down some of Hegel's key concepts, such as dialectics, spirit, negation, sublation, self-consciousness, absolute knowing, the evolution of human reason and the philosophy of history. We also discuss how Hegel's ideas are relevant to politics, religion, and the practice of learning how to think itself.
