Would the world be a better place without him?

He even looks like a fucking villain.

Nope. Hegel is easily top ten most important to have ever existed.

Let's not exaggerate Hegel's importance. Yes, his philosophical works greatly influenced many generations of philosophers (most notably Marx and the other Young Hegelians). But top 10? fuck no.

yeah only people with extensive fedora collections believe this

Hegel, installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan who reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the craziest mystifying nonsense. This nonsense has been noisily proclaimed as immortal wisdom by mercenary followers and readily accepted as such by all fools, who thus joined into as perfect a chorus of admiration as had ever been heard before. The extensive field of spiritual influence with which Hegel was furnished by those in power has enabled him to achieve the intellectual corruption of an whole generation.

well, he IS german

most important doesn't have to mean better.

dont forget Luther, Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger

all hugely destructive for the west, what's wrong with these people?

Kek let's have your tip top ten birch boi. Flex for me

Schoppy was just mad that no one came to his lectures

brits ruled the seas, french ruled the ground, germans only ruled the clouds and dindu nuffin

Germans ruled the spirit, and thereby proved Hegel right

he's right though, hegelians have been claiming the absolute, think they perceive dialectics, when really they're just delusional and keep pushing off what they claim is inevitable

just look at all the idiot marxists who insist they're going to find a solution when they have no fucking clue at all. it is literally the intellectual corrution of a whole era

thats all germans offer

but clearly gentile/mussolini where the ones who were most hegelian but then that died

so what happened to the absolute? protip: it doesn't exist and hegel's philosophy is bunk

I feel like our Hegel threads never do a good enough job bringing up his fascination with the occult.

Motherfucker was a literal sorcerer, and his "philosophy" is black magic. You can look it up.

This man knows. It's essential to understanding Hegel, imo.

A perfect analogy would be to point out that more people listen to Taylor Swift than Wagner.

BEGONE HEGELIAN THOTS

Lenin, Stalin, Jesus, Moohammed, Hitler, Napoleon, Guy who invented electricity idk all of them are way more important than hegel.

yes.

There'd probably be a hell of a lot more Jews alive so no

Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Lavoisier, Plato, Caesar, Einstein, Jesus, Mohammed, Hammurabi.
They probably aren't the 10 most important people of all time, but each one of them is unquestionably more important than Hegel so he cannot be in the top 10.

The two most important people in history were Marx and Hitler. Hegel ushered in both

Do not reply to anti Hegel shill threads. Sage and report. Someone is really keen on spreading misinformation about him.

Don't worry, these threads defacing Hegel will only make him stronger

he's almost meaningless now. the new leftists are far too dumb to even understand Marx let alone Hegel. The last true Hegelian is Horst Mahler, a former marxist turned right winger and Holohoax truther.

sad.
