Voyage of Discovery: Hegel and his philosophical work [Part II]

Depicted are Ernst Bloch's interpretation of Hegel's dialectic "Objekt - Subjekt" (1951) and Hegel's "Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences", originally published 1817, this version if from 1870.

"Nature is, in itself a living whole. The movement of its idea through its sequence of stages is more precisely this: the idea posits itself as that which it is in itself; or, what is the same thing, it goes into itself out of that immediacy and externality which is death in order to go into itself; yet further, it suspends this determinacy of the idea, in which it is only life, and becomes spirit, which is its truth." [Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences: The Philosophy of Nature, §195]

Similar to Marx, I came into contact with Hegel during my studies and I couldn't avoid delving deeper into his works, so I got myself a good guide and interpreter to start with, namely the work of Bloch. Bloch does not claim to write a book about Hegel "rather one about him, with him, through him." Mentioning the problem of access, Bloch was also aware of this and devoted himself extensively to Hegel's artificial language in the first part. Is it an unnecessary complication or does it serve a systematic purpose?

It is striking that Hegel uses certain words differently. The word predicate, for example, has a special meaning in Hegel's philosophy. It refers to the properties or characteristics that can be attributed to an object. Hegel uses the word predicate in his logic to describe the relationship between a subject and its properties. Bloch states: "The reader must familiarize himself with the objective contradiction in all things that Hegel's conceptual language incessantly reflects." Similiar to Christian Wolff and Thomasius, Hegel wanted "to teach philosophy the German language" and some of his terms (Weltgeist, Zeitgeist, ...) are regularly integrated into philosophical systems. The basic ideas of Hegel's philosophy would be the grasping of being, not the draft of an ought (cf. criticizing Kant). Showing the reasonable in the real contradictions and dialectically resolving them. The thesis of Hegel's dialectic describes, that there is just one substance, therefore object and subject are two sides of one and the same substance. Difference within itself is constituve attribute of the substance. Hegel is critizising the monism and dualism here: Substances, which are identical within themselves, can not exist, more precisely, they are empty. "Nichts, das reine Nichts; es ist einfache Gleichheit mit sich selbst, vollkommene Leerheit, Bestimmungs- und Inhaltslosigkeit; Unentschiedenheit in ihm selbst." "Sein, reines Sein, - ohne alle weitere Bestimmung. In seiner unbestimmten Unmittelbarkeit ist es nur sich selbst gleich und auch nicht ungleich gegen anderes, hat keine Verschiedenheit innerhalb seiner noch nach außen." So in the Hegelian system, substance = subject. The impossibility of the subject to grasp the subject in its entirety is the impossibility of the one substance to grasp itself in its entirety. Unlike Kant, Hegel is seing the question of the first substance and the dimensions of epistemology in an ontological level, the impossibility of true perception is not grounded in epistemological issues, but in the substance. The task is to develop a new unity of the term using the dialectical method: I. Immediate unity of the term (Stage of abstract mind - simple thesis) II. Opposition of the term to itself (Stage of negative rational reflection - antithesis) III. Reunification of the term with itself through the abolition of the opposition (Stage of positive rational mediation - negation of negation - synthesis)

Dialectic "burrowing like a mole" a la Hamlet's father spirit - Notes:

Mediation of thinking with the being, the ego and the non-ego

SUBJECT + OBJECT Subject is brought through the world, as subject + object are merging into each other "The subjectivity, according to which the organic is as an individual, develops into an objective organism."

The subject has experienced all of its alienations and objectifications until it empties itself of these alienations and has become comprehended history or absolute knowledge

We also find further dialectical systems in Socrates' postulate of not-knowing, likewise in the platonic-Socratic conversations. In his early years, Hegel was also influenced by mystics, with Eckart, Tauler and Baader forming "the divine triangle" for him (Hegel's triads appear again and again, the basis of his dialectic: -> bud - bursting blossom - fruit -> crime - punishment - justice ) Jakob Böhme significantly influenced Hegel through the "dialectically necessary reference" for example light to darkness, goodness to anger (dialectic of negation). Hugo of St. Viktor was the first to rationally grade the cognitive faculty (levels of intellectual activity), and Hegel also formulated an ascending cognitive faculty in his theory of levels: consciousness, self-confidence, reason, spirit, religion and finally absolute knowledge. „Draußen mag eine neue Welt in Anfahrt sein: Das absolute Wissen hat alles erinnernd hinter sich, erinnernd in sich. Nichts mehr ist zu tun, als die Lehrjahre des Bewusstseins, als die Faustfahrten des Subjekts in er Erinnerung zu wiederholen.“ Nicholas of Cusa also created a graduated system according to dialectical comprehension: Sensus, Ratio, Intellectus, Visio.

[...] The journey with Hegel just started and his dialectic is still relevant, discussed and even nowadays used by others philosophers, just to mention Slavoy Zizek, who is often emphasising the differences of Marx and Hegel, calling himself rather a Hegelian, than Marxist. The materialistic system of Marx is also not extensive and profound enough to find proper solutions, but which system and thought can be considered as flawless? There are many up-lifting points in Hegel's philosophy, I am sorry, that I can not present all those points, like... ... panlogism - hen kai pan "one and all" ; Idea of Logos, object + subject are communicating; alogical cause of world (cf. Schopenhauer), question of comprehension and comprehensibility, form of historical process = form of epistemological process, light of God + eye of the word (Weltauge) = recognisability (cf. Malebranche) ... art as the door to the absolute knowledge, healer of the impotence of nature and at the same time the business of illusions ... ethicosmic mindset found in the constant and deliberate oscillation between subject and object; Self-knowledge = World knowledge; Pan as spatial pathos of order; omnia ubique ~ "all is everywhere" (cf. Leibniz, Casanus) I would like to end with one of my favourite quotes of Hegel:

"If one begins to philosophize, one must first be a Spinozist; the soul must bathe in this ether of substance."

(this reimu is from sapphire panlogism. absolutely check it out it is an amazing fangame)

[himejoshikomaeda]

just 1cc'd wonderful waking world on normal!! a nice, firm difficulty to that one without feeling frustrating. to place it on a touhou game in terms of gamefeel, it feels like if perfect cherry blossom had subterranean animism's patterns. very fun game!! fantastic soundtrack, also!! i highly recommend both this and sapphire panlogism to other touhou players who are itching for a new touhou game.

But [Adorno] found the discussion itself rather sobering. Lukács "first basically disavowed his theory about the novel, on the grounds that it was "idealistic and mythological". He contrasted with it the way in which history was given content by Marx's dialectics. He strongly rejected Bloch's interpretation of his agnosticism." [...] Finally, Lukács had inveighed strongly against Kierkegaard: "Kierkegaard's critique of Hegel was true for "the Hegel who misunderstood himself panlogically", but not for the purified, Marxist version of Hegel. He did not recognize objectivity or history... he was (and here Lukács grew spiteful in his usual way) an ideological representative of the disappearing bourgeoisie." At one point Lukács had shocked him, "when he told me that in his conflict with the Third International his opponents were right, but that concretely and dialectically his own absolute approach to dialectics was necessary. In this madness lies his human greatness and the tragedy of the sudden dialectical inversion."

this face has already come and gone in the touhou fanbase. but what most people outside of it probably dont know is that in the fangame it comes from, sapphire panlogism, it is only used once in the entirety of the game. this specific exchange.

and it is god damn hilarious

東方潮聖書 ～ Sapphire Panlogism

Carrefourクリアまでできました。（ヘカーティア）

最後までヘカーティアのショットどれがいいのかわかりませんでした。全体的に完成度が高くて楽しかったです。

５面のボスがデザインと演出ともにめちゃめちゃ良かったです。シルエットのままラスぺに以降するのが不気味でかっこよかった。

また追々他の機体でもクリアしたいですね。

[evilisk]

Currently playing Wonderful Waking World and, this has to be the 3rd Touhou fangame where the main villain’s plot is to flood Gensokyo for reasons (the other two games are Riverbed Soul Saver and Sapphire Panlogism)
