In this fifty-second video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, I read and comment on paragraphs 132, 133, 134, and 135 of the text, beginning our study of the third portion of the section "Consciousness," i.e "Force and the Understanding: Appearance and the Supersensible World".

Hegel begins this new section by turning attention to the "unconditioned universal" -- what has been lying implicit the entire time behind the developments in the previous two sections, "Sense Certainty" and "Perception". The goal now is to grasp what is the True in terms of its Concept (Begriff), which requires that consciousness develop the Concept by realizing that the conscious subject is involved in the very development or unfolding of the Concept.

Within the unconditioned universal that is now the main object of study, previous distinctions -- such as being for self and being for another -- assume their places, but now there is an attentiveness to Content and Form.

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
