Lecture Description

In this thirty-ninth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the ninetieth, ninety-first, ninety-second, and ninety-third paragraphs of the text, beginning our study of the first portion of the section "Consciousness," i.e "Sense Certainty".

Hegel begins the Phenomenology proper in this section, beginning from what seems at first to be the most immediate, most concrete, and truest kind of knowledge -- Sense Certainty, which purports to give us an unmediated consciousness of objects.

As it turns out, matters are more complicated than this. Sense Certainty turns out to provide an abstract truth in relation to the object, reducing it to a "This", and likewise treating consciousness as a pure "I," a second "This." In fact, what we take to be the essence of Sense Certainty reveals itself as being just an example or instance of it. Sense Certainty turns out to be mediated, precisely through the "I" that at first seemed inessential.







The introductory music for the video is: Johann Sebastian Bach, Partita No. 1 in Bm, BWV 1002, is available in the public domain, and can be found at musopen.org.
