Hegelian dialectic is just a fart huffing academic believing he invented the concept of compromise.

Most continental philosophy consisted of profoundly autistic and/or schizo men inventing words to describe mundane concepts that even stupid people already had a perfectly functional intuitive understanding of.

Compromise is always gay. No mercy, no respite, no tolerance.

Thats a lie, you know thoughts are basically tulpas so some of these consepts weren't invented until they were given a name. If it weren't for Issac Newton we would still run the risk of jumping so high that we would be sucked into space.

I've nothing clever to say, yet feel like screaming.

 

[Übertroon]

The funny thing was that Hegel thought that through the dialectic thoughts and ideas would shed its own contradictions. Meanwhile in real life we just see academia radicalize itself further and further, damned be the contradictions.

You could also boil down Hegelian and Marxist dialectics to "things interact", meaning it's a pointless observation that any child intuitively understands

I'm gonna frame this and put it up on a wall where everyone can see

Did someone say Hegelian Dialectics?!

It's sad that the only one worth a damn was a depressive Dane. Russian authors were better philosophers and the French mostly just wanted justification to diddle kids.

Reject Hegalian dialectics, embrace Diogenic dialectics

I much prefer Kegelian Dialectic. Keeps the pelvic floor strong.

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

I think it's a useful idea.

Some things are inherently unstable/constantly evolve, and do so because their nature makes that change necessary. I'm only really familiar with it in Marxism, but it's probably the ONLY correct part of Marxism (even the Austrian School economist Joseph Schumpeter believed that there was a dialectic in capitalism). Scientific revolutions don't exactly have antithesis/synthesis but they too involve cycles of systems breaking down from internal contradiction to be replaced with new systems.

Don't see how you're getting "compromise" out of that. It's a concept for describing how systems change internally and I don't think it's obvious either.

I’m no expert on Hegel or his thinking(which is notoriously dense) but I think the idea is basically ideas evolve and change, shedding untenable aspects while merging with superior versions of the same(or different concepts).

One concept Hegel used was called Aufhebung-which basically means a sort of sublimation.

A superior idea will supplant a previous one while retaining all that which is true or useful.

For example-general relativity absorbs Newtonian mechanics into itself. It does not strictly speaking, refute it.

The same idea with Marx and communism-the idea being the future classless society will sublimate all that is progressive and valuable in bourgeoisie society.

You need to do that so you can systematize knowledge. It's a form of category creation, and it's what we humans do best.

I really have a hard time believing this. I don't know what, for example, Kant's naming and distinguishing between the noumenal and phenomenological added to the corpus of human knowledge.

It's just autistic wanking of no value to anyone ever, except other autistic philosophers who also provided no value.

 

[Ishtar]

Kant’s revolutionized epistemology and pretty much all modern secular ethics is derived from Kant in some form or another.

People take philosophy for granted, but their basic assumptions about how we gain knowledge, or how we categorize right and wrong or whether or not things exist “out there” or as mental constructs affects everyone to some degree.

There's plenty of value in various concepts that generally belong in a philosophy university, like logic (the matter).
It's also valuable to see who has patience to go through these hard to read books, and come out still a normal person, instead of a turboautist that wants to show the world how much they learned and how smart they are.

I completely disagree. Literally nothing would be different if we hadn't developed all these hair-splitting terms to describe masturbatory metaphysical concepts that are unknowable and unfalsifiable BY DEFINITION.

 

[Ishtar]

I could explain how William of Ockham and Rene Descartes are crucial for the scientific revolution, or why Hegel’s philosophy had a profound affect on 20th century political thought.

Or Hobbes and Roseau’s differing conceptions of the state of nature still shape political and anthropological debates to this day.

That isn’t mentioning Plato, Nietzche, Bertrand Russell, Karl Marx(yes that one), or even Michel Foucault(who actually did want to diddle little boys).

All have had profound impacts on the way society is organized, the way meaning and purpose are understood, on what “progress means” and countless other subjects besides.

We can only have this discussion using coherent terminology because of the efforts of men for the past 2,500 years to give us the vocabulary to talk about it.
