“As something presupposed, reason and faith are abstract, empty representations; for them to become concrete they must be explicated and viewed as unfamiliar” (Hegel, History of Philosophy, II.132).
On Hegel's mixed metaphors, the mismatch of word and image, and making the best of abstraction.

The fragments, composed in parallel with the final drafts of Dialectic of Enlightenment (possibly outlines for its unwritten sequel), challenged everything I thought I knew about 1940s Critical Theory—been working on getting these ready to share for about a year!
Starting this Monday! -- My lecture series with the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy: a semester-length reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit from cover to cover!
Thank you! 🙏💖
Honestly if there's any way that you could learn Hegel's Phenomenology, cover-to-cover in a lecture series guided by Greg (my nemesis) would be easily one of the best, most interesting, and most transformative. There are people who read Hegel for 80 years but they Can't Do What Greg Does.
Excited to announce my upcoming lecture series with the Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy: a semester-length reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit from cover to cover!

no one believes me when I say Deleuze was a big fan of Negative Dialectics, but it’s right there at the crux of the critique of capitalism in the Geophilosophy chapter of “What is Philosophy?” (pp. 99-100)
