In this sixty-sixth video in the new series on G.W.F. Hegel's great early work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, we now commence study of the section "Self-Consciousness". I read and comment on paragraphs 166 of the text here.

In this portion of the text, Hegel introduces the distinction between closely related Certainty and Truth. What presented itself as modes of certainty in the previous sections of Consciousness now needs to be brought to truth, and this can be done fully only by turning to Self-Consciousness -- in which case we deal with a certainty identical in some manner with its truth.

He also discusses two complementary ways to understand the object and the notion -- both of which self-consciousness works its way through here, making itself into its own object.

In this video series, I will be working through the entire Phenomenology, paragraph by paragraph -- for each one, first reading the paragraph, and then commenting on what Hegel is doing, referencing, discussing, etc. in that paragraph.

This series is designed to provide an innovative digital resource that will assist students, lifelong learners, professionals, and even other philosophers in studying this classic work by Hegel for generations to come.
