A series of lectures by eminent scholars; coordinated by Professor Sobhanlal Datta Gupta, former S. N. Banerjee Professor of Political Science, Calcutta University. As we know, the German intellectual
tradition is of crucial importance for understanding of social sciences. Many important clues to the understanding of new perspectives like the debate on modernity and Enlightenment, postmodernism, post-colonialism, identity and self, etc. can be traced to the contributions of the German tradition. Considering the importance of this theme, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata is going to launch a programme of lectures on the following thinkers, namely, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Max Weber,
Nietzsche, Freud, Husserl, Heidegger, Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse, Lukács, Popper, Gadamer, Wittgenstein, Arendt, Benjamin and Habermas. The first phase of the Programme (September, November, 2013; January, March, 2014) will cover four lectures on Kant, Hegel, Marx and Max
Weber. Each thinker would be discussed in two sessions, the duration being of two hours each. The sessions will be addressed by eminent resource persons, followed by interaction with the participants.

Provost Lecture - Axel Honneth: The Normativity of Ethical Life


source: sbcomm 2013年11月14日
Axel Honneth is the Jack C. Weinstein Professor for the Humanities in the Department of Philosophy at Columbia University and the Director of the Institute for Social Research and C4-Professor of Social Philosophy at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main. He is the author of numerous books, including The I in the We (Polity Press, 2013), The Pathologies of Individual Freedom: Hegel's Social Theory (Princeton University Press, 2010), and Disrespect: The Normative Foundations of Critical Theory (Polity Press, 2007). In his lecture, Honneth will show that Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's concept of "ethical life" entails some immanent criteria that allow him to distinguish, within the horizon of a given form of life, between valid norms and merely accepted ones. Honneth will identify those general criteria that Hegel sets out as immanent givens of any justifiable form of ethical life, and then examine whether these provide clues for discerning a certain directionality of moral development within history.

Chris Yeomans: Abstract for "Power as Control and the Therapeutic Effects of Hegel's Logic"


source: Donovan Irven   2013年12月10日
Abstract for "Power as Control and the Therapeutic Effects of Hegel's Logic":
Rather
than approaching the question of the constructive or therapeutic
character of Hegel's Logic through a global consideration of its
argument and its relation to the rest of Hegel's system, I want to come
at the question by considering a specific thread that runs through the
argument of the Logic, namely the question of the proper understanding
of power or control. What I want to try to show is that there is a close
connection between therapeutic and constructive elements in Hegel's
treatment of power. To do so I will make use of two deep criticisms of
Hegel's treatment from Michael Theunissen. First comes Theunissen's
claim that in Hegel's logical scheme, reality is necessarily dominated
by the concept rather than truly reciprocally related to it. Then I will
consider Theunissen's structurally analogous claim that for Hegel, the
power of the concept is the management of the suppression of the other.
Both of these claims are essentially claims about the way in which
elements of the logic of reflection are modified and yet continue to
play a role in the logic of the concept.

Slavoj Zizek | Vote: For Hegel | Full Film


source: Zizekian Studies    2016年1月26日
Zizek claims that we need to repeat Hegel (not return) and reinterpret Hegel as a dialectical materialist and not an idealist of absolute knowing. How can we use Hegel to traverse the ideological fantasy and act in accordance to the truth of an event? How do we overcome subservience to a market system that dictates our ethical discourse?
For Hegel, Žižek posits, the spirit is the wound of nature- it derails every natural balance, but it is at the time spirit itself that heals its own wound. In his lecture, Žižek will expand upon this Hegelian perspective to consider its philosophical, theological, and political implications: Why is the Fall a happy occurrence? How does permissiveness turn into oppression? Why does only the most brutal capitalist alienation open up the possibility for freedom?

Rick Roderick on Hegel and Modern Life [full length]


source: The Partially Examined Life     2012年8月25日
This video is 5th in the 8-part lecture series Philosophy and Human Values (1990).
Thanks to rickroderick.org for making this available. I'm merely interested in redistributing to anyone who might enjoy and benefit.

I. Hegel was conservative.
A. The culmination of this long historical process is that history proper came to an end.
B. Right wing Hegelians took Hegel to be fundamentally right and therefore applied his method over and over.
C. To left wing Hegelians such as Marx Hegel's is a classic text but has an ambiguous legacy.

II. Marx criticized capitalism.
A. A criticism of capitalism is a criticism of Hegel because for Hegel, capitalism coupled with liberal democracy is the highest achievement of humanity.
B. The democratic state is in contradiction with the imperatives of the capitalist economy.
1. We are used to these contradiction in our current society. This was not true in Marx's time.
2. The secret of capitalism is the shift in identity from what you are in a society to what you own or have.
C. Marx identified several effects of capitalism.
1. It reduces human needs to those which can be bought and sold in the market place.
2. It produces from nature more technological abilities than in all of history.
3. These come into contradiction because of the imperative of the economy to make a profit and to fulfill nil these new needs.

III. Marx's ideology:
A. If you really want to know how someone thinks, look at their surroundings. This outlook, "materialism," criticized ideas by examining.
B. Moral or philosophical clilemnas must be understood in terms of being different for different classes.
C. There is a difference between a theoretical approach and an approach rooted in daily life.
D. You must not let your life be reduced to poverty or work.
E. Before moral problems arise, there are preconditions for human life that have to be fulfilled such as food, shelter, health care and freedom to pursue other goals besides work.
