Notes

In the split between the Young Hegeliansand the Right Hegelians each misunderstands contradiction as the dialectic

The right wing of this thought wants to seek an end, or a synthesis, while the left realizes (or should realize) that contradiction is eternal.

Synthesis is meeting in the middle.

The contradiction is unsolvable.

Consciousnessis geared towards solution, while unconsciousnessis geared towards un-solution.

Freudbelieved that we are subject of and to the unconsciousness and that for Hegel contradiction meant a constant struggle against ourselves.

Right wingpolitical thought is, as the hosts believe, an attempt to eliminate contradiction, while left wingthought is the embrace of the contradiction.

Self-betrayalare those moments when you say something but perhaps meant something else. At the level of what you said you're betraying how you really feel, or so it seems to another.

Hegel#39;s belief was very strongly tied up with Christianity and the mistake that Hegel's left winginheritors make, the hosts claim, is separating that.

Hegelbelieves that when Christdied on the cross that mankind had not killed a representation of God but had killed God himself (sounds like Nietzsche#39;s [[file:../20210520132227-death_of_god.org][death of God]] a little).

The owl of Minerva only takes flight at only with the falling of dusk. --- Hegel

The 20th century is about a leftist anti-Hegelianism, such as Foucault Adorno Deleuze etc.

There's no such thing as an analysis that just says how things are, by even doing the analysis you're implying that something can be different. --- Todd
