In this video we explore the chapter Absolute Knowledge in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. In the chapter on Absolute Knowledge Hegel attempts to work towards the "conclusion" or "completion" of the phenomenological drama in the spirit's return to itself. Here Hegel conceptualizes the phenomenological drama as a restless negativity or asymmetry; and conceptualizes the state of absolute knowledge as a negativity itself. From this understanding Hegel finds that the nature of spirt is nothing except the universal process of self-return to active conceptual universality. Hegel then attempts to situate his understanding of Absolute Knowledge in the context of the history of modern philosophy, from Descartes cogito, to Kant's a priori, to his own (Hegel's) negativity.
First published in 1807 the foundation of philosophy was forever transformed after Hegel was capable of articulating a higher order understanding of the understanding as the becoming of spirit in history.
This video is based on a 1977 publication of Phenomenology of Spirit which was translated by A.V. Miller with a foreword by J.N. Findlay.
