      For life. That is. If you’re non-Hegelian.

      Otherwise you become a kind of know-it-all as anything and everything that is raised for or against your Hegelian Weltanschauung is necessarily ontologically subsumed into the historically inherently determined dialectical self-manifesting and self-fulfilling recognition of one’s own liberty which is nothing other than the unavoidable individual instantiation of the greater collective coming to terms conscience of the Absolute. Aufhebung, bitches!

        Oh yeah. Those people. Yeah. They argue with the Infinite and learn humility. Well, first they learn confusion, the true depths of it, and then after a period of contemplating, obtain enlightenment.

        And then they continue to be pedantic and arrogant and are forced to be reincarnated as another philosopher. ;)

        Your comment makes no mention of synthesis/antithesis. You also said “Absolute” instead of “Geist”. Ergo, I assume, prima facie, given my extensive philosophical study through memes, that your position is extremely misguided. Es tut mir lied!

          Don’t get me started. The thesis, antithesis, synthesis is Hegelian only in the sense that Marx was a leftist Hegelian. For that historical dialectical movement is actually a Marxists’ material reinterpretation of Hegel’s teleology of the Absolute.

          Yes, you could argue that Marx is simply Hegel under a different guise, and that thesis, antithesis, synthesis is just an explicit reformulation of Hegel’s ontological dialectics. But then you might as well say that the whole western contemporary philosophical tradition is in some sense Hegelian as every known philosopher since has been trying to overcome Hegel. Which, in some sense, is true.

          In any case, this will only prove the Hegelian fanboy point: aufhebung, bitches!

        heheheh. “bung.”

        (tbh I prefer the days when the old noggin actually tries and makes some way into understanding philosophies and existentialism - isn’t all philosophy existentialism in a way? - but today: low hanging fruit.)
