Thread: Strong statement

You watch the language too much for a dreamer !
Harsh, too self-confident, i can't see where he proves his point, there's no real foundation to this, and his statement scares me because it's very limiting, then again, philosophy comes further and further and only seems to be more limiting.

What Hegel says is nice, but he has no real foundations, where did he get his "Spirit" ? Nowhere, he just came up with that. Reading trough my book i'm coming to find that a lot of these guys just come up with some things, not founded. The book is a great one and it explains every step of the philosopher's theory (well, not every but you know...) But it's a see-trough: many philosophers just take something for correct just like that *snap*.

And the wider self-realisation thing is scaring also. it's limiting, if you know what I mean ?

Oh and btw the Spirit is described as "the process of the return of the rational , from alienation, to it's self."

He says nature shows "the rational". But the rational get's alienated from it's self because nature can't say to it's self : hey i'm rational.
That's where the Spirit comes in.
