In this video we explore the first part of the Preface in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. In the Preface Hegel attempts to clearly explain both the aim and result of the Phenomenology of Spirit as a book project. He wants to make it clear that he is attempting to bring philosophy to the level of a science of spirit that can make sense of the absolute as both substance and subject. He sees the biggest enemy to this project, both a metaphysical idealism which reifies substance in or with an intuitive oneness (or A=A), and a scientism which neither understands its own historicity or its duty to historical subjects to bring them to the level of absolute knowing. Hegel thus sees his Phenomenology, not as a foundations of science, but as a coming-to-be of Science, and ultimately a Science of the Notion that can help us both explain and address the idiosyncratic nature of self-becoming that has opened in the modern world.
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.
