6:00 Hegel would say that money is a concrete concept of objective spirit. We can actually spend 100 dollars as an idea, and we do all the time, but only when others agree on it. The whole point of Hegel is that the ideal is concrete, at least when it's fully determined as itself through immanent critique.

Great video! One question: isn't the condition for the execution of the man the offer that the female billionaire proposed as opposed to the reluctance to kill the man in the first place?
Thank you! Unfortunately it’s only available as an e-book, but we’re also releasing it together with an audiobook version if that’s any consolation 👍😊 the link is: www.patreon.com/jenalineandjulian
Kant - concept of money doesn't mean you can spend it. Just cos can imagine woman can't mean marry. God perhaps different. Hegel - only money spend is conceptual money. Abstraction more real. In itself Vs for itself. Traditional metaphysics Vs Kant Vs Hegel Every tragedy contains comedy. Also vice versa. Purest form of comedy -, think happening to someone else, actually happening to you. Car towed. In itself to for itself (from outside reach to inner subjective) Lso funny because someone watching you when for itself. Traditional metaphysical idea of in itself: Platonic idea - outside of life. The form. Orient life towards one unreachable thing and if only reach one thing are life is made and retrieved Loss isn't about gone, it's about it being painfully present. Anxiety isn't about loss (fruedian). Instead it's being over-proximous to the object. Kantian transcentalism: Still exists within form. In itself inaccessible to humans. Paradoxical. Can only think about in itself through reason, and reason is the barrier (not the fence or a metaphysical gap). Barrier is in his own mind. The gap is transposed into human subjectivity. The gap isn't formal, it's antimonies that holds us back. But higher realm still exists. Hegel: Radicalises Kant. What if ideal is an illusion, what if ideal pure form only emerges in human subjectivity through awareness of failure to reach ideal. The fall retrospectively generates the ideal (don't fall from an ideal place). In itself only emerges as appearance. In itself as a double for itself. Example of speculative idealism: The Visit play. You don't have principles following. You are retroactively putting in place the principles that justify the way you are already living. Form and content. Traditionally, content is the in itself whereas the form, how it's experienced I guess, is the deviation. Hegelian speculative idealism: content only appears retroactively through the form, through form of its own disavowel. Form is not deviation from ideal content. Instead, form posits content retroactively. Zizek- brings in Lacanian psychoanalysis who says essence exists only in its own appearance. Grape drawing competition. Grape behind curtain. Painting a copy of the copy of the ideal. An abomination. Uncanny Kantian - sublime: aesthetic ideal cannot be depicted. Morality like the sublime (don't know what god wants so morality a stand in for the impossibility for the ideal). Adorno - society is sublime, can't really define it. Once you define it it's strong ideology. Hegelian: the other retroactively generates idea of the people. No such thing as people until opposed defined. No. Concreteness to in itself, nor in itself in subject cannot reach barrier, instead in itself exists only in the barrier. Essence only in appearance. Marx : truth, the true content of any form is it's non constitutive form. Truth of the people is the other. Truth of essence is the barrier. Draw curtain (appearance)
The non philosophical ramblings In the beginning are why I suspect the views are not higher on such quality information, it feels very vloggy and lets me know it’s going to be more of a podcast than lecture series
