    One of my favorite authors has always been CG Jung. Up until recently, however, I didn't realize how much of Jung is actually retooled and repackaged Hegel, whether Jung knew it or not. I do realize Jung would have disdained my thesis here, but it seems to me that Jung's idea of the Collective Unconscious is just a new name stamped on the "World Spirit." Hegel also seems to have been the first "thinker" to articulate and express the idea of individuation.

    • @kylelarson5074
      @kylelarson5074 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Jung was working off of Hegel just as much as Lacan, Marx, Popper + most other important philosphers after Hegel except maybe Wittgenstein. If you came to Jung from Robert Peterson it seems that he likes to skip over historical dialectics (and the fact that he basically bastardizes most of western philosophy) because it would wind up introducing his listeners to Marx and Engel. He is trying to fight the cultural Marxists after all and it would be too existential for his Cyrenaics to realize they are truly just fighting themselves... If you didnt arrive at Jung through Peterson the same still kind of applies in a way.

    • @le2380
      @le2380 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This happens alot in philosophy. For example, Hegel's "World spirit" could be seen as what Schopenhauer would call the socio-cultural manifestation of the Will. The collective unconscious is just the collective will in that sense, and interestingly Schopenhauer is credited for introducing the concept of unconscious will into the west at that time, which the science of psychology then developed from.

    • @OnerousEthic
      @OnerousEthic ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. Jung would totally agree with you.
      IMHO all of the German Idealists were as authentic as their cultures allowed. And those same cultural inhibitors included survival mechanisms that attenuated the selflessness required to attain a lifestyle sans ego attachments. Every one of them expanded the visions of their predecessors.
      Every one of them would agree with the statement: “The only reason I could see further than others is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants”.
      Young was so prolific, he didn’t need to include retrospection, as you suggest, because he synthesized so much, few have been able to get their brains around his work, even to this day.

    • @OnerousEthic
      @OnerousEthic ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am guessing that you are not familiar with Heidegger, Hermeneutics, or Gadamer. This onion has many layers!
      Every German Idealist philosopher, starting with Kant, laid the foundation for their successors. I honestly don’t believe you can understand Jung without understanding Heidegger, and understanding Heidegger is a real pain in the neck! He rightfully understood the semantic limitations of natural language, so he invented his own! Heidegger’s word “Dasein” is one case in point:

      Right on man. I'm a big Jung fan myself but after Sugrue-Staloff lectures and Campbell's, "Hero Of With A Thousand Faces" I've kind of had my perspective changed where I see Jung as more of a, "wise old man" himself rather than a prophet giving us the, "calculus of old wise men." His work ends up being valuable more as prose-poetry than, "science."

  • @IvanTheHeathen

    Ah, yes... I've been waiting for this one. When I finally got around to reading Hegel (and many comments about his impenetrability and opaque writing style kept me from doing so for quite a while), I was especially impressed with his philosophical anthropology and his discussion of the centrality of religion in human culture. I'm especially curious to see what Professor Staloff's comments on recognition will be here.

      My foray into Hegel had been similarly hindered by those who made his writing seem impenetrable. I find him to be actually fairly tame compared to many modern thinkers such as Heidegger, Sartre, Deleuze, etc.

  • @kylelarson5074
    @kylelarson5074 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Not only was Hegel a genious but also very generous.. His convoluted vocabulary has been keeping philosophers employed now for centuries. Allowing them to get paid for deciphering his theory to students and meanwhile have the time and money to create a little theory themselves.

    His discussion of The Absolute for some reason brings to mind almost an inverse of Plato's Forms, in that the latter states "worldly" manifestations or instances of objects (art, etc. ) are merely representations of the perfect form, Hegel is saying that (good) art, for example, IS that "form," i.e., perfect (absolute) instantiation -- not merely a derivative. (This is what makes good art "good," it is genuinely new novel and "creative.")

    Firstly, wonderful lecture, and thank you for posting this. Secondly, after listening to Hegel, Nietzsche, and Marx it becomes apparent that most of their ideas are re-branded Plato; then they add a twist by removing any type of personal agency or conscious of the individual and replacing it with either some type of abstract poppycock such as the will to power, history, homo favor or some other conceptual abstraction. I do find some valuable observations that these philosophers have made, but the foundation of their philosophies seems flawed.

    6:50 Hegel’s “Absolute Perspective” is nothing more than (Or, shall I say “simply“) a synonym for the Akashic record. It is affirmation of Advaita Vedanta, and, at the same time, condemnation of Trinitarianism.
    Unfortunately, it seems that The Good Doctor Darren is not familiar with Advaita Vedanta, and does not include it in his gloss.
    7:50 Like Heidegger, Hegel struggled with the semantic limitations of (his) Natural Language (German).
    Dr. Darren declares Hegel’s Philosophy of History as impenetrable, but it seems pretty clear to me that is a problem for him because he knows not of the Akashic records and Advaita Vedanta…
