Professor Houlgate would have an interesting conversation Daniel Tutt. I've just finished his new book and he (like Losurdo) doesn't shy away from criticizing Nietzsche's less than progressive views and asks to what extent can he be reclaimed for the Left.
Neitzche - opposites. Aesthetic life (self creation). But not social and political life. Sees Christianity negativelym Hegel - immanent, thing becoming it's opposite. Development. (Being comes into becoming) Not about being Vs becoming. Sees Christianity positively, about forgiveness, seeing them more than their bad acts. Live in relation with others (community important)
Not I think therefore I am But thinking therefore (interderminate) being. Doesn't being is any suppositions. Suspends that. See what thought as being turns to
You can be right in the wrong way (force the other) You can be free which then leads to in freedom. One category becoming it's own negativity and reconciling itself with the negativity Pride source of its own fall. Glory will result in disaster
Geist will aim towards rational freedom immanently but that's not guaranteed. There are contingent events that don't allow Germany to become a state, for example. Other planets may get stuck. Can also be immanent inversion. Example is medieval church - religious freedom of jesus, then church created, but then medieval church is barbaric because focussed too much on the world. Painful steps along the way
Being as sheer immediacy. The isness stripped away without implications. Not even being there (because spatial). Indeterminate (not further determined). Nothing - what that being vanishes into. Without being. Pure nothing has immediacy too as pure nothing. Implication - purity of both impurities itself through its own purity. Being into nothing, and the vanishing of these into one another is becoming
To be in finite, And then being infinite in some ways (5 ways) Series of numbers Continuity of being Bad infinite - beyond the finite/other than finite. Concept we operate with. Light as nature but different from nature (unhappy consciousness/religious consciousness) Progress to infinite (endlessly deferred, just over the horizon) True infinite - finite things relate to them in the other. Love mutual recognition citizens. Own identity including other and vice versa. Qualitiative infinity. Only by being finite. Only if die be infinite. No transcendence in Hegel. Some people disagree though.
