Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit: Dialectics, Consciousness, and Freedom
About this episode
Breht and philosopher Colin Bodayle discuss Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit and its implications for understanding consciousness and freedom.
Breht sits down with philosopher Colin Bodayle for a wide-ranging exploration of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit , one of the most influential and notoriously difficult works in modern philosophy. Together they unpack Hegel's account of consciousness, contradiction, freedom, recognition, history, and the dialectical movement through which human beings come to understand themselves and the world. Along the way, the conversation traces Hegel's immense influence on Marx and considers why his philosophy remains so important for anyone trying to think seriously about liberation, social transformation, and the development of human consciousness. ---------------------------------------------------------- Check out our Summer RLR Merch HERE Learn more about Rev Left HERE Check out Unlearning Capitalism for more political educational resources
