Hegels Concept of Reconciliation: On Absolute Spirit w/ Dylan Shaul Actual Spirit 2023-07-10 | In this Podcast I'm joined by Dylan Shaul. Dylan Shaul is a philosopher who recently defended his PhD dissertation called 'Hegel's Concept of Reconciliation: On Absolute Spirit'. The originality of his dissertation consists of a systematic reconstruction of Hegel's theory of Absolute Spirit, whereby Shaul aims to show the importance of the concept of reconciliation to artistic expression, religious prophecy and how both both lack the therapeutic and revolutionary aspects of a philosophical comprehension of the Absolute, specifically speculative reason.To find out more about Shaul's work, go to:dylanshaul.comBe directed to all my content:https://bio.site/ActualspiritMy Website:https://actualspirit.xyz/My Substack:substack.com/@dimitricrooijmans
The Birth of the Spirit Child Actual Spirit 2023-07-09 | This video serves as an introduction to my paper in the recently published anthology Abyssal Arrows. My paper, The Birth of the Spirit Child, emphasizes the importance of working and educating Spirit to the becoming of the Spirit Child, it goes into the genesis, history and actuality of Spirit. It also tackles the questions of shame, pity and suffering in the becoming to the Spirit Child. The paper ends with a theoretical reflection on the homology between Hegel's Concept and Nietzsche's Spirit Child.From 28:14 to 31:18, the slides say the Hegel quotes are from the Lectures on Logic, but this is a mistake, since these quotes are from the Encyclopedic Logic.Get the book:https://philosophyportal.online/abyssal-arrowsListen to God's Love:open.spotify.com/track/6g8hRpmRHK5GOAGBESc628?si=96d3d93cc45a4ab8Be directed to all my content:https://bio.site/ActualspiritMy Website:https://actualspirit.xyz/My Substack:substack.com/@dimitricrooijmans

Hegels Concept of True Infinity Actual Spirit 2023-03-12 | In this lecture inspired by my reading of Hegel's Science of Logic, I explicate Hegel's concept of true infinity. According the Hegel, infinity suffices as a fresh definition of the Absolute, once we encounter this notion in the Doctrine of Being. Philosophy cannot take the finite to be absolute, for it has its 'in-itselfness', i.e. its constitutive identity, in its passing away. However, it turns out that bad infinity is conceptualised as a mere Beyond in an inaccessible distance to the finite, which is hence finitized by being in an alternation with the finite. For Hegel, comprehending true infinity entails an important step in one's becoming of a proper philosopher.My Website:https://actualspirit.xyz/My Substack:substack.com/profile/21143393-dimitri-crooijmans#philosophy #hegel #dialectics #infinity #zizek #zupancic

Introduction to Hegel: The Absolute Idea Actual Spirit 2022-10-09 | In this lecture, I present my reading of first chapter in Hegel's 'Lectures on Logic. The Lectures on Logic is a transcript of the lectures gave throughout the years on his 'Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences', compiled by his 18 year old son and discussed with his father. The first chapter, called 'Preliminary General Concept of Our Subject Matter', Hegel introduces the audience to the difference between philosophy and empirical sciences apropos their object of study, the faculty of the Understanding, universality, particularity, singularity and the three positions of thought toward objectivity.All the quotes in the slides are from Hegel's Lectures on Logic, except if referred to differently.My Website:https://actualspirit.xyz
