A skeptic reads Hegel pt 2

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

Hegel believed that the end of philosophy (and by extension, man) is to find God, or some concept thereof. When considering this and the relationship of life and especially property, I look to Locke. His definitions seem more in keeping generating a World Spirit. Excellent article, upvoted and resteemed!

The religious aspect was a surprise to me when i started reading, considering his popularity with marxists. Still, the concept a world spirit is something i am open to despite my agnosticism. Thanks for reading and the resteem!

Thank you! When I commented on your first part, I encouraged you not to fall into the "atheist trap." Most of Hegel's adherents are Marxist, therefore, atheists, Hegel himself was not, nor were very many of his contemporaries. Most of atheism in philosophy is a fairly modern phenomenon.
