As Ahilleas aptly put it at yesterday's seminar, Hegel raises the standard of critical inquiry with presuppositionless thinking-but that also means we must hold him to account on that score! #hegel #presuppositionlessthinking #criticalthinking #thinking #philosophy

⭐ We had a great first seminar of the Hegel and the Mechanistic Worldview course! 1hr45mins of intense discussion and great questions! It was really enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next one! It's not too late to enroll for the seminars! https://sphil.xyz/courses/hegel-mechanistic-worldview
Hegel and the Mechanistic Worldview
A rare opportunity to study in detail one of the most overlooked chapters in Hegel’s Science of Logic, and to learn about its place in the history of ideas. Hegel’s Mechanism provides crucial insights into his thinking about essential topics in the history of science and in civil society.

SEMINARS BEGIN TOMORROW 📢 Why do we treat the state—or our own habits—like a machine? 🤖 Hegel’s chapter on "Mechanism" in the Science of Logic provides the answers, yet it’s been ignored for decades. Until now.

Does philosophy have a place in the scientific enterprise? 🧪 Hegel thought so.

Break down Newton, reductionism, and determinism in our new course on Hegel’s "Mechanism." Stop skipping the chapter the 20th century ignored.

In the second lecture of Hegel and the Mechanistic Worldview, Ahilleas takes begins on the Mechanism section proper. If you've ever wondered why some things—from a spinning planet to a repetitive habit—feel "mechanical," Hegel has a surprisingly modern answer.

Ahilleas' responds, Hegel's account of Mechanism shows the path from chaos to order. https://youtube.com/shorts/-rpdx2MK8bs?si=icS2ofg8gyfj4dtE #hegel #chaos #order #mechanical #ontology

💡 Why did we move away from vitalism and alchemy, and into Newtonian mechanism and atomism? What were the conceptual underpinnings of this shift? Our next course on Hegel and the Mechanistic Worldview discusses this and more!
