S4 E19: Hegel: The Modern State as the Work of Spirit

Can slaves truly be free? How is freedom realized in the modern state? Is the entire continent of Africa completely irrelevant to world history? All these questions and more are answered by Hegel! Join us as we discuss Hegel's theories by examining Alan Ryan's summaries of The Phenomenology of Spirit, The Philosophy of History, and The Philosophy of Right. We talk about how freedom evolves throughout cultures and time, how Stoicism impacted Hegel, and how history advances by acting through certain important figures in time. We also go on a long tangent about whether or not certain cultures' mythologies are intrinsically valuable!  You can win a completely free Unlimited Opinions t-shirt!
