In this thirty-fourth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on the seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth paragraphs of the text, continuing our study of the Introduction.

Hegel addresses the matter of the development of the dialectic in these paragraphs, discussing the stages -- Gestalten -- that consciousness must pass through on its way to knowledge, or the life of the Spirit.

He also addresses again the question of skepticism -- an ever-present possibility for any given consciousness, but a cul-de-sac on the way of dialectical development. Skepticism does, however, play a vital role in placing consciousness into a despair from which it must emerge, getting it past natural consciousness, reliance upon authority, and assertion of the perspective of the self

In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph.

This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come.

I'll be using and referencing the A.V. Miller English-language translation of the Phenomenology, which is available here: http://amzn.to/1jDUI6w

The introductory music for the video is: Johann Sebastian Bach, Partita in D minor for solo violin, is available in the public domain, and can be found at musopen.org.
