@philosophy #DieterHenrich's "Hegel im Kontext" describes Hegel's >Sein< as "unbestimmte Unmittelbarkeit" and as the "unity of position and negation".

In my own words I would describe that as "no information except that we want to deal with it", and in #Bayesian statistics that's, I assume, an analog to Jeffrey's Prior.

Can anyone comment?

@ar1 it's a bit difficult to understand. Key: remove "des Glaubenden", add Kantian to "Vernunftglaube" -> Ich gets a transcendental connotation. It ends up close to Aurobindu's "supermind" (which is no accident - the Indian guru was influenced by #Idealism).

My position is closer to #Pragmatism and the #Process #Philosophy of #Whitehead or #Hartshorne. With the help of #DieterHenrich it's possible to relate all that to Kant and Hegel. Just about to discover #Vereinigungsphilosophie & #Herder.

The great German philosopher Dieter Henrich passed away yesterday at the age of 95.

You can listen to his lecture "Kant's Analysis of Aesthetic Judgment" (Stanford University, 1990) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmACkcAWDUQ
