Abstract

9d13">As the thing in itself cannot be known, we are left with patterns of rationality as the only relevant reality (idealism). These patterns of intelligibility structure reality, and like living things they can develop towards more rational states. The name for this kind of extended mind in German is <b>Geist</b>, meaning a combination of mind and spirit.</p><p id="8020">The development of Geist is driven by two processes: <b>differentiation / articulation</b>, and <b>integration</b>. Together, they comprise the <b>systematization</b> of the world itself. This autonomous system gradually evolves as it synthesizes opposing ideas through the dialectical process. In this way, rationality (and thereby reality) realizes itself, ultimately becoming self-aware in the form of the World Spirit (or God).</p><p id="ce4a">One of the consequences is that God, as the self-organizing principle of reality, is again seen as rational, and we can again access the divine through rational reflection. Hegel is effectively translating religion into philosophy.</p><p id="fbc4">While popular in his time, Hegel’s ideas faced critiques on numerous front

Options

s:</p><ul><li>Schopenhauer (and later Nietzsche) considered the intelligibility patterns to be driven by will (Will to Live, Will to Power), making them fundamentally irrational and arbitrary.</li><li>Kierkegaard criticized Hegel’s philosophy for being a purely intellectual system lacking in the participatory knowledge needed to cultivate wisdom. From the Kierkegaardian perspective, our attempts to realize the divine have been severed from personal transformation (they do not compel us to take the “leap of faith”).</li><li>Marx saw religion as an opium distracting us from the reality of how socioeconomic forces shape history through conflict. The participation that Hegel inherently lacked, Marx provided through a call to political and economic revolution.</li></ul><p id="dc4e"><a href="https://readmedium.com/summary-of-awakening-from-the-meaning-crisis-by-john-vervaeke-chapter-23-romanticism-0ded8b29cb29">Previous chapter: Romanticism</a></p><p id="24a8"><a href="https://readmedium.com/summary-of-awakening-from-the-meaning-crisis-by-john-vervaeke-chapter-25-the-clash-a8ea65710b2d">Next chapter: The Clash</a></p></article></body>

Whispered I Love You

It was but one kiss on a summer night You and me on beach, I was in heaven Naked under the stars you smiled at me Ooh, Ooh, Hmm, Hmm

You know what I like about you my love No matter darling, you smiled I kissed you for a long time Too many words darling, you smiled You whispered in my ear, I love you Ooh, Ooh, Hmm, Hmm

The whisper of my life, I love you darling I kissed you even longer, for the rest of my life Whispered I love you, hmm, La, La, La, music to my ears Whoa, La, La, La, Hmm, La, La, La, La, La, La Hmm, whisper to me again

It was but one night for the rest of my days So much in love, so much alive You carried my heart so tenderly, like a whisper I floated Whisper of love carried me away Whispered I love you, hmm, La, La, La, music to my ears

You’re my creator, how life grew in me for you, with you A whisper of love is all it took to find me, to know me I walk in your footsteps to know you I stand beside you to love you I whisper I love you to shine Ooh, Ooh, Hmm, Hmm

The whisper of my life, I love you darling I kissed you even longer, for the rest of my life You always looked my way Hmm, how wonderful your love in my heart

Whispered I love you, hmm, La, La, La, music to my ears Whoa, La, La, La, Hmm, La, La, La, La, La, La Hmm, whisper to me again
