The Philosophy of Spirit
First things first.
This thread is intended to be, and has been formulated to generate, a philosophical discussion.
This is a philosophy thread.
This thread concerns "the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence"
and invites a philosophical approach, philosophical argument, philosophical discussion and disagreement.
Lest there be any doubt and to avoid any misunderstanding, let us repeat in caps, not shouting but emphasizing:
THIS IS A PHILOSOPHY THREAD.
Thank you.
A Note on the Thread Title
"Philosophy" here means conceptual analysis and argument.
"Spirit" is, in the first instance, synonymous with "Mind," as in the German word Geist.
Thread Questions
Is Spirit, or Mind, the ground of all reality?
Is what we call objective reality in all its myriad forms the objectification of Spirit?
What does "objectification of Spirit" mean?
Why is metaphysics, rather than physics, the proper study of reality?
Inspired by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
