RE: A Skeptic Reads Hegel Part 1: Introductions

in #philosophy8 years ago

Is there a German word for that feeling you get that this can't be real life? Like it seems so absurd that someone must have made it up. Hegel says that history is leading to the point of revealing the existence of God. There is the idea floating around that "The Simulation" is revealing itself through the escalation of reality's stranger-than-fiction quality.

Sort:  

Traum... welt... something-or-other. What if we rewrote Hegel's references to providence and God as references to simulation and the programmer (the way people are doing with the new testament)? I bet that would resonate with many philosphers and futurists today.
