## Hegel Reading Group: *Phenomenology of Spirit* **Hosted by Elena** 📍 Epoch Coffee, 221 W North Loop Blvd, Austin, TX 🗓 **Saturday, January 3** 🕐 **1:00–3:00 PM** Hegel’s *Phenomenology of Spirit* has a legendary reputation: daunting, dense, and—according to critics like Schopenhauer and Russell—borderline incomprehensible. And yet, it remains one of the most influential philosophical works of the modern era, shaping everything from Marxist theory to contemporary debates in logic, science, and political thought. This reading group exists for people who feel the pull of Hegel despite the dread. We approach the *Phenomenology* through **slow reading and collective interpretation**, prioritizing depth over speed. The goal is not to “conquer” Hegel, but to think *with* him—carefully, critically, and in conversation with others. ### What we explore * Self-consciousness, freedom, and recognition * Individuality, action, and ethical life * Contradiction and dialectical thinking * The relationship between Hegel’s system and empirical science * Whether Hegelian contradiction challenges or complements formal logic * Why this text still matters in our current historical moment ### Format * Open, roundtable discussion * No lectures, no performance philosophy * Questions and disagreement are welcome * You can speak a lot, or mostly listen—both are valid **We’ll be asking questions like:** * Where do we use good language to cover missing action? * How does our “inner law” quietly become pressure on others? * What survives when our ideals meet the real world? ### **Reading for this meeting** We are continuing our progression through the *Phenomenology*. **Current focus:** **§394 — *Individuality, Which, to Itself, is Real in and for Itself*** (From the section on Reason) If you’re new, prior readings are helpful but **not required**. This is a continuing group, but newcomers are always welcome. ### Previous sections covered * Preface: On Scientific Cognition * Introduction * Sense-Certainty * Perception: Or the Thing and Deception * Force and the Understanding * The Truth of Self-Certainty * Lordship and Bondage * Reason and its development toward individuality ### Text A **free PDF** of the Pinkard translation is available here: 👉 [https://files.libcom.org/files/Georg%20Wilhelm%20Friedrich%20Hegel%20-%20The%20Phenomenology%20of%20Spirit%20(Terry%20Pinkard%20Translation).pdf](https://files.libcom.org/files/Georg%20Wilhelm%20Friedrich%20Hegel%20-%20The%20Phenomenology%20of%20Spirit%20(Terry%20Pinkard%20Translation).pdf) *(If you’re using the Miller translation, be cautious with the paragraph summaries at the end—read them skeptically.)* ### Schedule We meet **every two weeks on Saturdays**. This session begins at **1:00 PM** to allow more time for discussion.

Wild Ones: Annual Native Seed Swap January 10, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am Join Wild Ones Columbus for their annual native seeds swap. If you have native seeds to share, please label them with the Latin name and common name. The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but remove as much stem as possible. Bringing seeds is not required. Bring bags or envelopes to store seeds. Inniswood Metro Gardens 940 S. Hempstead Rd. Westerville, OH 43081 Phone (614)895-6216 This event will be held in the Greenhouse/Multipurpose Building located near the east end of the parking lot.

The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but don’t leave much stem on the seed heads. Please email the list of species to Mary May so we can prepare information for attendees. You can bring the seeds on the day of the swap, or we can arrange to have them picked up beforehand - just let her know in the email. If you don’t have any seeds to bring, no worries. If you are new to native plants or didn't have time to collect seeds, there are ALWAYS plenty from those that do bring them! We love to see "newbies" at our seed exchange! Also, remember to bring something to put seeds in such as envelopes, paper bags or containers.
