Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition (With Red Library): Part I of III
from The Regrettable Century · host Chris, Kevin, Jess, Jason, and Adam
We teamed up with Adam from Red Library in a farewell reading series on Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition by Glenn Alexander Magee. Magee forges a path tread by few in arguing that Hegel was decisively influenced by western esotericism. In this weeks episode we trace the roots of Hermetic tradition from a syncretic cult that blended Greek and Egyptian ideas of magic and spirituality, through figures like Paracelsus, Agrippa, Bruno, Baader, and Böhme. Magee argues that, in order to understand Hegel, we have to view him as a Hermetic thinker. Hopefully this book well help us understand Hegel a little bit better. Magee, Glenn A.
