Patterns in the Movement: Hegel's Concept of Life & Problem of Contradiction with Karen Ng & A Hiott

#hegel #meaning #phenomenologyofspirit #scienceoflogic #dialectic #aufheben Karen Ng is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University, about Hegel's intricate #philosophy and its relevance today. Karen discusses Hegel's concept of life, his radical idea that #self-consciousness is self-conscious life, and how this fundamentally shifts our understanding of reason, cognition, and meaning. The discussion also touches on the challenges of reading Hegel, his relationship with other German idealists like Kant and Schelling, and the interplay between nature, mind, and love. Karen's insights illuminate how Hegel's thoughts on these themes can help us reconsider our approach to modern problems, from environmental issues to the nature of consciousness. #nondual #loveandphilosophy #karenng #andreahiott #consciousness #mindandlife Join https://lovephilosophy.substack.com/   / waymaking     / waymaking23   Give https://loveandphilosophy.com/giving-...
