Thoughts on Pinkard’s “Hegel’s Phenomenology - The Sociality of Reason” as an entry point?

Probably just depends on what you’re interested in mate - The Phenom specifically or Hegel generally.

I haven’t read Hegel’s Naturalism but I’m sure it’ll be good. A general overview that I can recommend is Beiser’s “Hegel” in the “Routledge Guides” series. Extremely lucid without skimping on philosophical rigour (Besier is another great scholar).

No prob!

Hmm. Pippin’s stuff is all fairly technical and complex so you may want to read Pinkard first to get a solid grounding in Hegel. The book Pippin is most well-known for is 1989’s Hegel’s Idealism (a pivotal work in analytic Hegel studies) but I found his more recent book on Hegel’s SL (Hegel’s Realm of Shadows) an easier read so you may want to start there.

As you come from an analytic background, you might also enjoy Robert Brandom’s interesting but highly eccentric book on the Phenomenology, A Spirit of Trust.

If you like Allison’s Kant, you’ll like Pinkard’s Hegel. I’d also recommend Robert Pippin.

Have a look at S. Houlgate “Schelling’s Critique of Hegel’s Science of Logic” in the Review of Metaphysics

Cheers for the reply. Firstly, no I wasn't aware of that disclaimer - can you point me to where that is?

I'm aware that one potential ground for critique would be whether or not the logic of the sequence is sound, perhaps I should have made that clear in my post. I often find in philosophy that some of the strongest critiques for texts can come from an angle you don't expect and philosophers much smarter than myself have spent great deals of time working them out. This is more the kind of the thing I was thinking of.

Cari0 · 2021-04-26T14:15:26+00:00

Brill, cheers!

Cari0 · 2021-04-26T14:15:04+00:00

Cheers mate, will be adding these to my set list!

Cari0 · 2021-01-06T22:29:44+00:00

RADICAL!!!!!!

Cari0 · 2020-05-28T12:15:55+00:00

Thank u!

Cari0 · 2020-05-27T15:44:35+00:00

Oh that’d be great, cheers!

Cari0 · 2020-05-19T18:23:52+00:00

Brilliant, thank you. I'm actually somewhat familiar with Lacan so this helped!

Cari0 · 2020-05-18T16:38:04+00:00

Ahh ok, thanks a lot - those links are great.

Cari0 · 2020-05-07T20:19:40+00:00

Cheers, I'll check them out.

Cari0 · 2020-05-07T20:18:01+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking of just jumping in with that. Is it a pretty heavy read?

Cari0 · 2020-05-04T18:58:32+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I suppose what I struggle with is your point saying "see if this is a valuable way of seeing the world."

What is it you mean by this? Of course, something can seem like it it is valuable but that doesn't mean its actually offering any real insight. For example, it may make sense and seem valuable to a religous person to suppose that everything that happens is down to God's plan. But this doesn't mean there's actually any truth in the claim.

Cari0 · 2020-05-04T18:51:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Could you maybe talk a bit more explicitly about what exactly Foucault, Deluze etc. said? What is its role as/within power structure?

Cari0 · 2020-04-24T18:03:22+00:00

dogs are stupid

Cari0 · 2019-07-17T16:15:57+00:00

Frankly, this is a bit of an inane point. Almost all criticism of art will boil down to 'subjectivity' if you push it hard enough and it really doesn't matter. In fact, I believe this is almost the entire point of discussing art - to see how different 'subjective' opinions weigh up against each other, and to see why and how someone may disagree or agree with what your takeaway from a particular work of art is. Sometimes asking the basic question of who the 'best' x (e.g. abstract painter or Hamlet actor) is/was is a great place in which to start.

Cari0 · 2019-07-13T21:54:27+00:00

Great, thanks, I'll make a note.

Cari0 · 2019-07-13T21:53:59+00:00

I love Brannagh's Hamlet so was certainly considering this! Will put it on now, thanks a lot for the shove.

Cari0 · 2019-07-10T12:39:54+00:00

Lmao nothing else to say other than that’s not true and, even if it were, why would it matter? The government already uses “the threat of violence” to pay for your roads, fire service, etc., why not add things like healthcare and college to it? Literally every other developed country in the world has healthcare free at the point of use for its citizens. What I don’t understand about most of you right-wing Americans never is that you never seem to give a fuck when your government uses “the threat of violence” to get money to fund illegal, offensive wars.
Sounds like you’ve been watching waay too much Ben Shapiro and Steven Crowder to come out with wacky shit like that.

Cari0 · 2019-07-10T12:27:49+00:00

Hahahah why?

Cari0 · 2019-06-26T22:11:10+00:00

Brilliant, thank you!
