> Hegel developed a theory that historical progress goes always forward, or towards better things. This is a popular supposition, but is mostly a misunderstanding of Hegel, promulgated by Left Hegelians like Marx. Hegel’s argument was that thought moves toward a greater state of contradiction, not progress, but that this evolved sustainment of the contradiction represents a more rational form. Todd McGowan at the University of Vermont wrote a whole book on this subject: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/emancipation-after-hegel/97802... |
