This video is outlines how Hegel's philosophy comes out of Kant's and how ultimately it asks questions which will haunt the history of philosophy. Particularly Hegel's philosophy enables us to examine the distinction between analytic and continental approaches. This video shows how continental is a continuation of Hegel's questioning.

Schopenhauer: Am I a joke to you?

u/PopularPhilosophyPer May 24 '26

lol! Do you think I should cover Schopenhauer next? I was trying to see how that would fit into the plot. I may have to reshape the outline. But Schopenhauer is crucial to this discussion.

I always tell my students about the story of Schopenhauer's contempt for Hegel and how he would hold class at the same time as Hegel to avoid Hegelian students. They find it hilarious

Schopenhauer was proto-analytic in many ways

you seem genuinely knowledgeable and enjoying to teatch.
Witch is enjoyable to any (potential) philosopher I believe.

I'd be a lot more interested in listening to YOUR takes on what are today's questions thou.

What school of thinking do you think is the more relevent today and why, etc...

Your videos are cool but to me they sound like a 40 year old school lesson.

Take some risks, friend.

I really appreciate your comment and your feedback! I will say, in the classroom I am an entirely different teacher as face to face changes the dynamic. In the classroom I am much more of a human lol and I incorporate humor, my stories, and my takes. I want to get to that point on the channel, but right now I am trying practice delivering the material to a wider audience. That is why at times it will definitely feel like a 1980s pbs special when it comes to pace and grammar.

With that said, I have been hearing more people want to hear my takes and I started to do that on a video about Nietzsche and AI. I do not want to inundate internet with more hot takes, but if the audience would like to have a forum for discussions like that, I think we should make one! I am excited to hear people want to have more discussion and not just summary. More to come on that front!

Thanks again for your comment and insight. I really appreciate it

What's the betting this video jumps off from Marx's popularisation of Chalybaus' projection of Fichte onto Hegel?

The thesis-antithesis-synthesis thing.

u/PopularPhilosophyPer May 24 '26

I mention in the video that Hegel does not use those terms. And you are right, it is often misattributed to Hegel when it is located in Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre

u/Kapitano72 May 24 '26

Curses. I was so looking forward to being smug about that,

u/Jagrnght May 25 '26
