in comedy the gods are debased - but debased from the outside. the little twist needed to reach christianity is for the absolute to assume the internal necessity of its own debasement

this is why for me the (real presence of christ at the) eucharist is THE most important aspect of the christian religion

is there any possibility that Hegel leaves judaism out so as to not present christianity as superceding judaism (which is a common theme in anti-judaic rhetoric)?

Great observation! Here's my quick thought on that: None of the main big religions have a doctrinal safeguard against fundamentalism + they're all the big religions; so maybe the fact that they are big and the fact that there is no  such safeguard are neccessarily corrolated?

You may be in danger of making Hegel's project, when writing this book, possible without having to read it scores of times.

In their penultimate episode on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, Ryan and Todd analyze the religion section of the book. They focus most on the comic work of art and the revealed religion sections as they try to make sense of why Hegel gives religion such a prominent place in the Phenomenology.

John Cullen Invades The Basement!

Ryan and Todd conclude their series on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit with a discussion of the Absolute Knowing section. They explore the relationship between this section and the rest of the book as well as considering what this section has to say about the relationship between mediation and immediacy.

Hegel's Absolute Knowing

Ryan and Todd discuss the diagnostic categories of psychoanalysis, beginning with neurosis. They analyze the three forms of neurosis--hysteria, obsession, and phobia--while also focusing on the different manifestations of these three forms in the contemporary political arena.

Neurosis

Ryan and Todd explore the philosophical concept of the event, tracing its trajectory through three thinkers--Martin Heidegger, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Zizek. They make this discussion concrete with an extended discussion of the current revolutionary feminist actions occurring in Iran.

Event

This is a special Why Theory episode that was recorded live at the Impakt Festival that took place in Utrecht, Netherlands.

PODCAST #75

Ryan and Todd discuss the role that debt plays in the structure of capitalist society and in the psyche necessary for sustaining this society. They explore debt as a subject matter in film and television, as well as debt's relationship to the lacking subject.

Debt

A scholarly study found that British colonialism caused approximately 165 million deaths in India from 1880 to 1920, while stealing trillions of dollars of wealth. The global capitalist system was founded on European imperial genocides, which inspired Adolf Hitler and led to fascism.
