Very informative, the camera simply was knocked over by the profundity of your lecture.
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen of the relationship between Hegel and Marx. I’ve always struggled with it and this did the trick.
i hate how the algorithm takes away anything you look away from for few minutes. i was wondering where you went but maybe you didn't go anywhere at all, and now here you are back in front of me! good to see you again julian! your work is always much appreciated

omg I can't believe it, a book that I've actually read!!! embarrassing but true, I actually feel honored that this book that I didn't write gets covered 😂😂😂
Der Besuch der alten Dame is a wonderful read, greatly recommend
Absolutely monster of a video❤
Splendid lecture! I read The Visit after your last mention of it many videos ago. It’s really good, and was key to my grasping speculative idealism. (I never found Sontag’s essay about the fork though.)
Very good lecture, thank you!
Thank you!!! ❤
Hey Julian, love your content tramendously. Was wondering if you could send a link to an English translation of the first book? Or at the very least cite the German you have so I can search the internet? Thanks!
Here: it takes a while to load. It’s really good. advdpdrama.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/7/1/23711609/the_visit.pdf
“The Visit” by Dürrenmatt. Hope that helps
I finally get it. Holy shit. After all this time I’ve been a leftist purely because I believe that people should be provided the means to live and thrive and that we shouldn’t be made to waste away our one life on earth doing grueling labor for some rich asshole. But I never could fully grasp dialectical materialism and the true genius of Marx’s thought. I never had that a-ha moment until literally now watching this video. At least what you’ve broken down here, I think I’ve finally got it. Thank you for this.
Can you please upload more videos?

Ignorant question: For what statement are we evaluating the truth value?
what do you think about ai communism? ai replaces the working class, a self autonomous means of production
So “back to monke” falls flat 😢
Not sure that this is what Hegel means by the idea that the truth is within the appearance. I see this as a perverse reading to relativize truth and subjectivize the absolute. If reason is ultinate reality, then the lie can't be sustained. Cuz it is ultimatelt undone by reason. Also the subjective, which in it's own turn, dissolves into absolute knowledge, through reason.
The point of Hegel is not to install the postmodern critique of the concept of truth. It is instead, to give an account of how it is that the absolute is subjectivized and viceversa. But it all comes together in thought itself. For reason gives thought some form or structure. You just can't dissolve that.
It is not that history is predetermined. But it follows the logic of reason, so it is binded Ultimately, binded to the absolute. It is within the absolute, that it all transpires.
Hegel is not a mystic in the sense of seeing the absolute as an unfathomable mystery. But he is the ultimate mystic, as someone who even fathomed the absolute. Who became himself absolute. So he is the most spiritual than anyone can be. You can't go beyond that. He is not a subjectivist whp thinks ideology and language is all that is.
He is an idealist, who made out of the ideal realm, also, an object of knowledge.
How Hegel bamboozled is a phenomenon in itself!
Most of his ‘revolutionary’ material is from Christian Theology blended with Spinoza & Kant. For example, his dialectic is an adaption of Deuteronomic theology in the Old Testament; that history is a ‘process’ likewise is something in the OT; even his ‘geist’ is the ‘Logos’ in St. John Gospel. It just goes on - amazing how the midwit can be taken in so easily every-time. I am NOT a Christian theologian by the way.
Can you sound more like a tool?
There is an additional stage to all of this. Most contemporary economists understand that money came before the development of exchange economies. There is no evidence that barter commodity economies ever existed. It seems that economics was wrong all along. Marx was right that the exchange of goods happens because money is the object of desire; Marx was wrong because he didnt know that this has always been the case.
Im going away from zizek, lets talk yoy about hegel and marx, yeah right.
lol
creepy smile
@@burninghammerkai6176 Yep you're right, pointing it out is fair. Was a crappy day and I can't stand Marx or Hegel so I glitched out a bit. I'll apologise or remove comment if I can. Hope you're having a good day.
I feel bad, was having a bad day. I Apologise for my very unpleasant offhand comment. It was just a reflection of my feeling towards theories of Marx and Hegel I guess.. wishing you all nice days and calm interactions
Nice Lecture. It loses me at the Marx tho - not only it's such a downgrade for me compared to Hegel, but because it bores me immensely...
“Nice lecture, but you lost me at the entire point of the lecture because I’m bored when I come into contact with something that doesn’t confirm my biases.”
