37 The Bad Hegel

Although we pointed out last time that there is a great deal to appreciate in Hegel's work, he remains the point of departure for two centuries of progressive thought that has produced catastrophic consequences on the world stage, and now actively threatens to destroy the foundations of the liberal Western tradition that has raised the human condition to its highest material affluence, virtually eliminating abject poverty.

In this and the following two episodes, we seek to lay out the functional facets of Hegel's thought that laid the foundation for the most destructive inversion of value ever produced by human beings. Again, this is not to say that everything done and said in the Hegelian tradition is wrong. This is not the case. Hegel and the post-Hegelians are not so much wrong as TWISTED. They are not illogical. They make sense, and they appeal to our dearest moral sentiments, which makes them all the more dangerous, as they stand on the inversion of the truth, value, and meaning that built, sustained, and slowly but steadily improved the human condition for centuries.
