Hegelian Dialectics: Contradiction, Marxism, & the Freudian Unconscious

Todd McGowan, professor and author of "Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution" as well as co-host of the philosophy podcast "Why Theory", joins Breht to talk about the many misunderstandings of Hegelian philosophy, the history of Left and Right Hegelianism, the role that contradiction plays in the dialectic, what a Freudian understanding of the mind lends to Hegel's philosophy, Marxism as a deviation from Hegelianism, and much, much more!
