January 31, 202655 min · 9,238 words

Show notes

We're within the Self-Consciousness chapter of The Phenomenology of Spirit, specifically starting at sec. 206, which is the transition between two sections we've already considered on this podcast: Stoicism (and Skepticism) and Reason.

Highlighted moments

I discovered this was way more involved and strange than I thought. So I thought it was worth our time to actually read through it.
