Episode 135: Hegel on the Logic of Basic Metaphysical Concepts

March 14, 2016 by Mark Linsenmayer 4 Comments

A whole second discussion on G.F.W. Hegel's The Encyclopaedia Logic (1817), hitting sections 78–99 on the dialectic and how it's supposed to generate basic metaphysical categories like Being, Becoming, Quality, and Quantity. We also talk about Understanding vs. Reason: Kant thought that we can't do metaphysics because we can only talk sensibly about abstractions (via the  Continue Reading …

Ep. 135: Hegel on the Logic of Basic Metaphysical Concepts (Citizen Edition)

March 13, 2016 by Mark Linsenmayer 3 Comments

A whole second discussion on G.W.F. Hegel's The Encyclopaedia Logic (1817), hitting sections 78–99 on what the dialectic is and how it plays out in how the Concept of Being, when analyzed, shows itself to be identical to Nothingness, and how those in turn considered together "logically" lead to Becoming, which is the same as Determinate Being and also Quality. We also talk  Continue Reading …

What Would an I-Thou Encounter Look Like?

March 5, 2013 by Daniel Horne 8 Comments

http://youtu.be/SxLIlLzIh2Q A dialogical relation will show itself also in genuine conversation, but it is not composed of this. ...On the other hand, all conversation derives its genuineness only from the consciousness of the element of inclusion—even if this appears only abstractly as an "acknowledgement" of the actual being of the partner in the conversation; but this  Continue Reading …

Tripe, Part Seven

December 2, 2010 by Mark Linsenmayer Leave a Comment

Start at the beginning. In the Seventh Sitting of Tripe, it's made clear that as soon as the goal of the book's being an organic growth-in-itself is stated, it dissolves, following the pattern of self-transcendence that the book has set up. If the purpose of an endeavor is to evade all purposes, then to succeed, the book must transcend its own goal of transcendence and  Continue Reading …

Episode 15: Hegel on History

February 24, 2010 by Mark Linsenmayer 1 Comment

Discussing G.W.F Hegel's Introduction to the Philosophy of History. Though he didn't actually write a book with this name, notes on his lectures on this topic were published after his death, and the first chunk of that serves as a good entrance point to Hegel's very strange system. How should a philosopher approach the study of history? Is history just a bunch of random  Continue Reading …

About The Partially Examined Life

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don’t have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we’re talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion
