The..'Public'..as Pavlov's dog...

The Hegelian Dialectic is,
in short, the critical process by which
the ruling elite create a problem,
anticipating in advance the reaction
that the population will have to the given crisis,
and thus conditioning the people
that a change is needed.
When the population is properly conditioned,
the desired agenda of the ruling elite is presented
as the solution.
The solution isn't intended to solve the problem,
but rather to serve as the basis
for a new problem
Or exacerbate the existing one.

When the newly inflamed difficulty reaches the boiling point
of a crisis, it becomes the foundation upon which
arguments may again be made for change.
Hence, the process is repeated, over and over,
moving society toward whatever end
The Planners have ....In Mind.

""Who Knew...?..""

Me too. His stuff reads like purified BS. Kind of like East Indian philosophy.
Still, back to my belief bout the history of philosophy: it's either dialectic or categories, ontology all. French philosophy sucks, English sucks, except for Hume, Americans know squat about ontology, which may be the root of many of our problems.
