Ep. 24 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Hegel

Glad to be alive when the course of history has manifested this lecture series.

This is perhaps the toughest lecture to follow. Not because of John but because of Hegel.

"Patterns of intelligibility structuring reality as a living system ". BEST explanation of Geist i ever heard 🥳🥳🥳❤

I just took a couple thousand years of understanding and adopted each frame in 24 episodes. It’s very strange watching this. Every episode describing western thought I feel myself inhabiting some great inheritance. Seamlessly transferring from one reality to the other as easy as I breathe. I feel like this entire tradition is in my DNA. So strange.

My favorite part of Fridays.

Hello, professor, and listeners, it is an honour and privilege to be here with you today. What a journey it has been so far! ♾️❤️

I love how Hegel integrated his ego into his system too.

I like the way how John have been using the idea of this Hegelian "grammar" throughout the course. It would have been too abstract for me if introduced only at this point. I'm glad I haven't given up despite the fact things are getting a bit abstract lately...

Dr. Vervaeke you are a brilliant lecturer.

It feels as if my brain is blossoming 🌸

Psyched, jazzed, inspired to be alive and enjoy this psycho technology as I watch over my developing infant child 🧒 who is ever more sublime, profound, aww inspiring and enlightening as a teacher or patience than any idea concept or thought about being or time or space.

I tried taking classes like this in undergrad, but the professors I kept getting wanted to read obscure writings of Marx. As an 19 year old I knew they were full of it. Perhaps a lecture like this would have changed everything!

this is true education. thank you!

I was waiting for Kierkegaard to be brought up 👍I hope he'll be expanded on.

There lectures are so addictive.. I've been waiting for this the entire week, and it's over in like five minutes, and now on for another week, which is more like an eternity... :(

Middle schools need this class to help integrate individuals through dialogue to understanding to acceptance to action🤔

This is great... I cant stop watching this lecture series when I need to be studying freaking anatomy

More like Ver-Bae-ke amirite? Thanks for your work, John!

This is quite the Thesis... Can't wait to see the Antithesis

I have returned to these lectures since the release of GPT and found it quite fruitful to synthesize the two resources in order to understand these concepts better as Dr. Vervaeke presents denser material. P: Give me an example statement that embodies and captures the essence of Hegel's thesis antithesis and synthesis. GPT: One example of a statement that embodies Hegel's thesis, antithesis, and synthesis is: "The struggle between the individual and society is resolved through the recognition of both individual rights and social responsibilities, leading to a synthesis of individual freedom within a just and equitable society." In this statement, the thesis is the idea of individual rights and freedoms, while the antithesis is the idea of social responsibilities and obligations. The clash between these opposing ideas is resolved through the recognition that both are necessary for a just and equitable society. The synthesis, therefore, is the idea that individual freedom can coexist with social responsibility and collective action. This statement illustrates how Hegel's framework of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis can be used to explore and reconcile opposing ideas in a way that leads to greater understanding and progress.
