To understand how patrian "Natural Science" finds "God", it is imperative
to summarize Hegel’s Philosophy here. The Philosophic System of Hegel is
dialectically ordered as follows :
THESIS :
Logic (Ansichsein des Geistes, Being-In-Itself of the Spirit).
ANTITHESIS :
Philosophy of Nature (Aussersichsein des Geistes, Being-Out-Of-Itself of the Spirit).
SYNTHESIS :
Philosophy of the Spirit (Anundfuersichsein des Geistes. Being-In-Itself-
And-For-Itself of the Spirit).
The Doctrine of Being (Sein) (an sich, in-itself, objective Logic);
The Doctrine of Essence (Wesen) (ausser sich, out-of-itself, objective Logic);
The Doctrine of the Concept (Begriff) (anundfuersich, in-and-for-itself,
subjective Logic).
General Mechanics (an sich, in-it-self),
Inorganic Physics (fuer sich, for-itself),
Organic Physics (anundfuersich, in-itself-and-for-itself).
Subjective Spirit (Leibseele, Ich-Seele, Geist-Seele),
Objective Spirit (Recht, Moralität, Staatssittlichkeit),
Absolute Spirit (Kunst, Religion, Philosophie).
Hegel postulates SPIRIT, and that is all. Sometimes this SPIRIT
is called Geist or Weltgeist or Idee or Absolute Idee. In spite of all
the Dialectics, in Hegel, there is no Movement, no Becoming; Everything
is; it happened already. Just like in the Patria, for Hegel, for the Weltgeist,
there is no Future. Hegel denied the Future. Similarly, for its "human
beings", the Patria denies any Future, any "Happy End". Who still dreams
about a Future should urgently consult a staunch patrian psychiatrist,
should pay Dr. Jung or Dr. Adler a visit. Our psychologist suggests the
following treatment:
As Marx had put it, out of sheer "boredom", the Geist decides to objectivate itself, sich zu entäussern. It becomes strange to itself, it alienates itself, in Space as Nature, and in Time as History. Concerning Hegel, it is important to note that Space, Time, Nature and History are not separate independent postulates or entities.. In the same manner as the Biblical God creates Nature and Society (Man) out of Nothing, that is, out of Himself, because, according to the ancient Greek philosopher Melissos, ex nihilo nihil fit, out of nothing, nothing becomes, similarly, Hegel’s World Spirit objectivates Itself in-and-out-of-itself. In other words, in the same way as the Biblical God can be Nothing (Meister Eckhart: "God and Nothing is the Same.") -- for this very reason, He can create things out of Nothing, out of Himself -- , the World Spirit objectivates itself into its very own spiritual Nature, into its own opposite, into Matter. Also he realizes this in his very own self created "Time" and "Space". Take note that the postulate "Matter" of an objectivist Idealist, Hegel, is not identical with the postulate "Matter" of a radical Materialist. Even Matter is not always the same, as Heracleitus stated: it is fiery, it flows, panta rhei!
It follows that Nature or Matter are just by-products of the World Spirit, are dialectical excrements, which are to be disposed of very urgently. In Hegelian language, the Spirit recognizes Itself, It objectivates Itself, It makes Itself as its own Object, It finds Itself, It becomes for Itself, It unites itself with Itself - "dass der Geist sich erkenne, sich sich selber gegenständlich mache, sich finde, für sich selber werde, sich mit sich zusammenschliesse."
We synthesized Hegel extensively to indicate precisely what really is the patrian philosophic essence of all the contemporary so-called democratic and peaceful "reconciliation" programmes, of the "globalization", of the world capitalist "hen-kai-panization".
Certainly, all these have very little to do with our understanding of Action, Thinking, Excellence. The next upcoming lecture will continue with the illustration of Einai-For-Itself as philosophic postulate, and not as Weltgeist.
