Philosophers Zone - 20 November 2010 - The Mystery of Hegel

Huffduffed by theJBJshow on November 27th, 2010

His thought was hugely influential and hugely difficult. The philosopher Bertrand Russell once described him as the single most difficult philosopher to understand. He was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Though he enjoyed relative fame during his lifetime, in the decades after his death in 1831, according to one writer, Hegel’s ideas were treated with "a mixture of contempt, horror and indifference."

But something happened during the 20th century that brought Hegel back into sight for philosophers and thinkers. This week on The Philosopher’s Zone find out what that was. From http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/stories/2010/3071671.htm

  1. Philosophers Zone - 27 November 2010 - Hegel and Hegel’s God

    http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/stories/2010/3077690.htm This week, in another trek through the luxuriant and fascinating jungle that is the thought of one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, we turn to Hegel’s god and look at Hegel as a rational mystic.

  3. Philosophers Zone - 18 June 2011 - The evil of the daleks

    They are among the most loved, or most feared, villains in science fiction. But what is it that makes Daleks such great baddies? What constitutes evil and why do the Daleks represent a very specific idea about rationality and morality? This week, we talk to a philosopher about what the Daleks have to tell us - in their mechanical, screechy voices - about who we are.
