Lecture Description

In this one hundredth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, we continue our study of a new major section of the work, "Reason". I read and comment on paragraph 240, 241, 242, and 243 of the text here.

In its first concrete line of development, Reason focuses upon observation, turning to objects other than itself, seeking its other in its manifold manifestations in its world. In doing so, it appropriates the world for itself as "mine". But it also has a deeper drive and motive of coming to understand itself in this process of knowing.

In observation, consciousness attempts to learn not only about things as phenomena, but even more so in their essentiality. At this point, however, Reason does not understand that it is really seeking itself in the things of the world, seeking itself within the world. So, it approaches them as an "I" that seems to stand apart from that very world of sensuous things which it attempts to grasp and transform intellectually into Notions
