What the fuck, Hegel. I mean really...
So like, I'm burning through the comps reading material because I have two weeks left (and I desperately need an Aristotle/Plato review) before the comps and I seem to have hit a wall. The other 19th century philosophers are fairly straight forwards in their methodology and their praxis, but Hegel is driving me insane.
Let me put it like this. I read everything that on the reading list, and I've read the comps notes which is like "Hegel-lite for dummies and stupid people" and I still don't understand what the flippity fuck the man is writing about. Seriously, let me clue you in on something:
"immediate spirit is not spiritual" - WTF?!?!
So what, is actual spirit, spiritual? Is it like when he says that the embryo is in itself a human being, but not human for itself? Goddamn Hegel. Someone explain this shit to me.
