Lecture Description

In this ninety-ninth 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 237, 238, and 239 of the text here.

Consciousness presents itself both as a restless movement through its moments, and as the unity of those moments. It constantly seeks out the essential, but also can understand itself as essence in the entire process, as an individual who appropriates objects. In this, consciousness expresses itself as Reason, but the key question is the status of the Idealism that expresses Reason's insight that all reality belongs to it.

An Idealism that grasps reason only as it first appears on the scene, not taking account of the previous developments preparing its way, becomes abstract. It also shifts over to a stance of empiricism as well, since it takes in the multiplicity of sensation and ideas. This idealism, unable at this stage to be entirely coherent, analogously to the earlier development in Skepticism, reveals its own untruth, but at this point, finds itself unable to move past it
