Dear Mr. Andy

First, Congratulations for your excellent site on Hegel. I'm a colombian philosopher, and I writting a explanatory and critical book on Hegel. Mi aim is to explain the Hegel's dialectics and absolute idealism, and evaluate his value. In your site, appear a text — 41. What is Alive & Dead in Hegel Today, Howard Kainz — but I cannot read. You could send my a copy? Please, excuse me for the poor english, but I'm a student.

Sincerely,

Pablo Arango

...kicks ass! I have been reading Marcuse's Reason and Revolution as background for my thesis, and your site is an invaluable resource in addition to Marcuse. I wish every important philospoher (especially the Frankfurt boys) were this well represented on the net.

If you choose to answer this, perhaps you could advise me. If I were to read the Science of Logic or Phenomenology of Mind/Spirit, what English translations do you recommend?

I have read that the Baillie translations are terrible and are to blame for Hegel not being more widely read in English.

Thanks for this powerful cyber resource.

Subject: Ilyenkov symposium in Helsinki

Dear Andy Blunden,

an interesting page indeed with much valuable material on Hegel and Marxist philosophy in English. Maybe you are interested to hear, that we here in the University of Helsinki, Finland, organized an symposium on the philosophy of Evald Ilyenkov on 7th and 8th of September, 1999. There were many even internationally known participants, i. a. David Bakhurst, Yrjö Engeström, and Ilyenkov's friends Prof. Felix Mikhailov and Dr. Alexey Novokhatko from Moscow. The symposium proceedings (about 18 papers were presented) will be published in Spring 2000 by the Alexander Institute of the University of Helsinki. Meanwhile, you may look at the web address http://www.helsinki.fi/kalenteri/tapahtuma/199909070900_3764.html to see the symposium programme (if the link does not work, please contact me!).

With best regards

Andy,
A simple note to say I enjoyed your page(s) and admire the work you put into them. I have no answers, but I've always been curious about many of the ideas you present here.

I think the central dilemma in the human condition is deciding what the human condition "ought to be," and more, how to achieve it. I also believe questions are more important than answers.

Dear Andy,
I am very impressed by your your website. The work you have put into that. This must have been a lot of work and research. Tell me. What is the way you look at the world of today ? Do you base your opinion on what was said and written by filosophers some hundreds years ago ? Or do you read that and than make up your own mind and visions ? Since you talk about communism a lot, do you still now have the opinion that this could be an answer.
I would like to know if you would start off a discussion with me, by email, or probably better is to say an exchange of ideas.
Whereby I would like to base that on the subject " Order and Chaos " More precise what can we find in common between the ideas about that in our minds and, the findings via a Quantum Mechanical way of approach. Regards

From: Katherine
Hi Andy,

While inspecting through your website, I was reading up on Hegel. Because it's confusing what Hegel believes was the beginning of everything, I was wondering if you were familiar enough with Mr. Hegel to be able to relate the whole Adam and Eve situation to his philosophies? Since Adam and Eve were pretty much the first in the "circle of circles", I was wondering how Hegel would have thought about that christian story. Would you be willing to elaborate on that?

Thank you.

Subject: Why Hegel? Why Now?
Andy,

I have found your Web site very useful and have referred people to the postings there, especially the hyperlinks to writings by Hegel and Marx. However I wonder why you have not added the first chapter of Dunayevskaya's book, Philosophy and Revolution, to the other writings you have mounted in the section devoted to that book. "Absolute Negativity as New Beginning: The Ceaseless Movement of Ideas and of History" takes up the revolutionary methodology of Hegel in Phenomenology, Logic and Encyclopedia, and what that revolutionary dialectic meant to Marx and Lenin as well as to modern movements. She insisted that chapter come first, after much public deliberation, for it established the right structure for the book as a whole. In addition, the second chapter of the book illuminates Marx's debt to Hegel from the 1844 manuscripts through Grundrisse to Capital's section on the Fetishism of Commodities. Since you have the third chapter on Lenin's philosophic ambivalence as well as the new thoughts she wrote in 1986, why not these first two chapters. All three comprise the part of Philosophy and Revolution titled "Why Hegel? Why Now?" I believe mounting the entire section would serve the purpose of your great web site. Please keep up the good work.

In what book and on what page does Hegel state his dialectic theory of history (in which one movement (the thesis) is countered by another (the antithesis), both in interplay giving rise to a third (the synthesis), which now becomes the thesis of a new dialectical interplay). I need to quote him for a term paper on Joyce. (The parenthetical definition I just gave was from an article on Marxism in Encyclopedia Britannica.) When I clicked on your index, I got a blank page.

Subject: [hegel] Online Course: Introduction to Hegel's Philosophy

Robbert Veen's Online Study of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit at http://hegel.net/Phenomenology or http://welcome.to/Hegel has begun an additional new online course "Introduction to Hegel's Philosophy." at http://hegel.net/Phenomenology/philhegel.html.

About this course.

This is an introductory online course on Hegel's Philosophy where we can carefully learn the basic concepts that may not be presented in sufficient detail or understandable language in the Phenomenology and the other works of Hegel. We will have the chance to discuss these concepts in a more focussed manner on this list. We will also offer questions that will test your understanding of the concepts presented. It will be necessary to answer these questions since the purpose of this course is to help its participants learn to think abstractly in order to make the reading of Hegel more intelligible.

To join this course just fill in your email address in the sign-up box found at http://hegel.net/Phenomenology/philhegel.html

Kind regards,

Dear Andy,

First of all, let me congratulate you for an in-depth website on Mr Hegel.

Dare I go as far as to call it the 'definitve account' of the philosopher.

I am a Englishman, now living and married in the states who is going to grad school part-time in Euro history. Long story...dont ask!

Unfortunately, my area of expertise lies in the period of the Third Reich.

'Unfortunately' because I was told/ forced/ appointed to compile information on Hegel so I may be able to present an oral report of his particular philosophy of history. I have purchased Hegel's, 'Philosophy of history,' and have managed to grab a couple of books that discuss Hegel's wide ranging views.

I am writing to you to see if you would be so kind as to start the ball rolling as it were. I was wondering if you would be able to recommend any specific readings, and also places on your extensive site that may be of assistance to me.

Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to pass on to an out-of-depth, rapidly drowning, student.

Sincerely,
Chris Goodall

Subject: Love the Web Site

Date: Mon, 4 Oct 1999

Just a few things, more practical than anything.

Can you reprint some of the International Socialist Forum articles by Cyril Smith and Ellen Meiksins Wood on your web site or send them the name of a good web page designer!!! Their text is a nightmare to read! Even printed out.

Are you familiar with the folks from Common Sense, in Edinburgh? Werner Bonefeld, John Holloway, Richard Gunn, Kosmas Psychopedis, Simon Clarke, et al? I know they are anti-Leninist, but really their work has a lot to offer. Common Sense has closed shop, sadly, so maybe it is possible to get their old articles, esp. from the first 7 issues, to reprint here. Really valuable stuff. They still have a web site and you can contact Werner Bonefeld from there. The URL is http://aries.gisam.metu.edu.tr/commonsense/index.html. They also frequently contributed to Capital and Class with some great articles.

Finally, again, great site! I am working through Kant and Hegel right now to get back to Marx in a different way. Sites like yours really help. Keep up the good work.

Comradely Greetings,

Dear Dr. Blunden,

My name is Vlad Valentinov, I have graduated this year from an agricultural university in Ukraine. My speciality is farm economics.

However I always had a strong interest in philosophy and especially in Hegel and systems theory. I have several new ideas about the Hegelian implications of agricultural cooperation, I am ready to develop this topic further.

I have also published a paper in Ukraine: "Methodology for Designing the Agricultural Information Network in Ukraine" in which I attempted a philosohical analysis of computerized information system construction.

It is my interest to unite a topic in agricultural economics and philosophical analysis.

Could you please indicate if any research of this type would be of interest in your university or any university you know? Is it possible to apply for a program that would provide funding for such research?

Your early reply will be appreciated.

Thanks, Vlad

From: Matthew Davis
Subject: Great Webpage - And some Suggestions....
Andy,

Last time I visited your webpages a couple of years ago, they were great. But now, with all those philosophical treasures, it's a really fantastic site, well-deserving of all the hits it's recorded. All those ordinary working-class people fascinated by philosophy.

I have another couple of URL's that I could give you if you want them. One is Walter Benjamin's "The work of art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" -

http://pixels.filmtv.ucla.edu/community/julian_scaff/benjamin/benjamin.html

And another is "On the Poverty of Student Life" the famous (or infamous?) situationalist pamphlet from Ken Knabb I think it was, or perhaps Debord. It's an important part of the history of situationalism, so if you fire up the search engine for that one, I can't find it on my Bookmarks file but I've seen and read it on-line, so I know it exists. From memory, it's on Ken Knabb's homepage.

Aside from that, I wish the PLP the best of luck. You say on your webpage that you were first with the WRP/"Healyites". I haven't heard much about them, beyond Healey raped women members and was corrupt and led an ultra-left sect. Presumably, there must be far more to it than that though, that's just the view of a Militant member I know.

OK then. I'll say goodbye.

I am a guy (32 years old) in Ukraine who has just started using the Web. But I have a long time interest in revolutionary theory.

I have seen your page "Hegel by Hypertext" through Soman's revolutionary socialist pages. I have found some of the articles very interesting. For example, I have printed for myself "Intro. to Hegel's Phenomenology" and an article by I'lenkov about dialectics. I am looking forward to finding more about your own researches.

The question I have: did you create your page yourself, using that "wicked" HTML editor, or has someone done it for you? I am trying to create my own homepage at Geocities, and at first go it seems very difficult. So I turned to you for help.

Subject: Hegel by Hypertext -- Online only?
Hi there,

Actually I am delighted about the site you've built. And I'm impressed with the contents, as promised by the pages that I've run through. Now, that I would like to take a closer look at the particulars, I would love to take as much offline as I can, since I don't want to hang on the phone for hours and days (weeks...months.....).

Do you think it would be possible to make the site (as it is) available for download in a zipped archive format or so? Would that be against your feeling about the effort you've put into it or would there be other reasons for not doing that?

I have the nagging feeling that I'm not the only one who prefers to do lengthy reading (browsing) off line.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Andy,

I've just recently discovered the Miniature Library and feel like a child in a candy store. I want to thank you for having put this together. I have studied Marx and Hegel since the 60s but in a very disorganized way and without ever having the benefit of working with people who really know the material. I guess you can't expect much else in the U.S.A. although I did my graduate studies (anthropology and planning at Cornell University) with some avowed marxists but none who had really delved deeply into the question of dialectics.

I wonder if there is a listserv or discussion group online where study of dialectics is pursued or where people who are actively involved in the development of dialectics in research or political practice get together.

In any event thanks. I'm looking forward to working through many of the texts you've made available as well as the wonderful concordances of Lenin's notebooks with Hegel's originals.

BTW, I found the miniature library site looking for stuff on Vygotsky. Right now I've been contributing to the xmca list where "zoneheads" in the U.S. tend to congregate around Mike Cole and Yrjo Engstrom.

Dear Andy,

As i constantly refer to Marcuse's Reason and Revolution with great satisfaction, i'd be very interested what you think of his exposition of Hegel and/or his relation to Marx. Presumably you don't think much of this or any of his works as he doesn't get a run at all on your site.For that reason alone i'd be most interested in your comments.

I noticed you've added Avineri to your reading list.What,if anything (and i realize one can't read everything ever printed},do you think of Ivan Meszaros' Marx's Theory of Alienation (London 1971)? For myself,the fact that social humanity is a 'self-mediating' being,and the significance of that concept/fact for the much debated question of ' economic determinism',is of immense (not the least of which epistomological/philosophical} importance.Thus, may i be so bold as to suggest Chapter 3 (Conceptual Structure of Marx's Theory of Alienation),section iii (Alienation and Teleology) of this seemingly profound tome as worthy of inclusion on your site? This,if only by way of acquainting fellow Marxists with this most lucid of expositors of,inter alia, the 'dialectical' nexus between Hegel and Marx.

with Socialist/progressive greetings,
ted rose.

Subject: Thanks and Lenin vol 14

Dear Andy

Thank you so much for all the work you have put in getting all this stuff on to the internet and making it accessible to people like me. Hitting on your web site(s) was like coming across a treasure chest. My husband Jonathan (also WRP) is currently in prison in Northern Ireland. As a consequence of the "complications" of his life much of his library of philosophical and political works has been lost to him and much more is inaccessible in his current situation because he is only allowed paperbacks. With so much now available on-line I can down-load and print it out to send to him. This is really important for him.

One question I am hoping you might be able to help with. We are trying to get hold of a copy of Volume 14 of Lenin's collected works, but have so far drawn a blank (internet bookshops like Amazon show it in their catalogue but have been unable to supply). Any ideas?

Dear Sir,

I am a university student in Turkey. My subject of study is "the problem of subject and object in western philosophy". Could you help me to find a way to get something about V. Lektorsky. How can I find his E-mail, articles.

Is it possible for you to put something on your web page about him?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hallo Andy,
I have used your excellent Hegel Hyperlink site a lot, and was interested in a link which I can no longer find. It was a hyperlinked text of Marx's capital. I would be grateful if you could let me know where I can find it or what's happened to it. I hoped it would assist me in a study of this difficult work.

Subject: Marxist Study
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999

I am beginning a very thorough study of Marxism (and its predecessors, in terms of influence on Marx and Engels) , with focus on the philosophy underneath the politics, so to speak. I have some basic grounding in the subject, and politically consider myself a communist. My question is this: Can you provide a good, basic list of works by the major figures in this subject (ie Hegel, Feurbach, Marx, etc.) and/or compilations or analyses of their works. Books non-sympathetic to Marxism are welcome suggestions as well, if only to provide an alternate point of view.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A reader pointed me to your copy of Hegel's Shorter Logic at http://www.home.mira.net/~andy/shortind.htm

I'd be interested in listing this book in my On-Line Books Page index, if it's online in full and does not have any copyright problems. Could you tell me if this is the case, and also let me know who did the translating and "shortening", if any? (If you have information on the source edition, that might be helpful too.)

Great site, but why Hegel, you look to have embraced the more material stuff from Marx.

Subject: dialectic & revolution

Andy:

I've visited your site for the first time. Its now one of my key bookmarks.

I'm Ph.D. student doing a dissertation on the way Mormon Church leaders have viewed revolution, 1830-1990.

Hegel's dialectic offers a convenient process model that helps explain changing LDS responses to the Mexican revolution, 1910-1940. Key Mormon officials experienced new "absolutes" as they experienced the revolution first hand (concrete world) and related it to unique Mormon views on the role Indians would play in the unfolding of Mormon eschatology (the idea world).

Perhaps I could ask you a question on Hegel's concept of the "absolute"?

  1. Could a person experience, be, or think of so many things that he becomes the absolute (or ultimate) absolute? Was this God?
  2. Would Hegel have ever believed that a nation could arrive at that transcendant absolute in one blow, such as the establishment of a United States in 1787 under a constitution written by deified "Founding Fathers"?
best,

Subject: Marxist Web magazine

Andy

I was given your name and e-mail address by Alec Prianikoff who thought that you might be interested in an idea for a Marxist Web magazine. I can see that you have a very comprehensive site on Hegel, Marxism and Stalinism and I have spent many years myself studying Marxism and Hegel, as well as engaging in the practical activities of the British WRP.

During 1986, I cancelled my subscription to the News Line and carried out trade union activity and a long study of philosophy, especially empiricism, investigating its roots and practical significance in British bourgeois ideology. I also studied Kant and made further studies of Hegel's philosophy especially "Science of Logic", "Phenomenology of Spirit", and "Lectures on the History of Philosophy".

In 1992, I was asked by to write book reviews for the "Marxist Review" which I have done and also the occasional article. I read "the News Line" daily and "Marxist Review" every month, so I have contact with the small WRP of Torrance, O'Regan, Driver, Wiltshire, Athow etc. I do not agree with them on every question, but my thinking is similar to theirs, especially on international questions like the imperialist war against Yugoslavia and on domestic issues like the defence of welfare reforms etc.

At present, I also read alt.politics.socialism.trotsky and get involved in polemics with other posters. My original post to a.p.s.t. on the idea for a Marxist Web magazine is appended below and I would be grateful for your comments.

Subject: hegel on photography
Date: Tue, 1 Jun 1999

Andy,
Several months ago I visited your page on the occasion of a short course I was taking on Hegel's logic. I'm argentine, architect and also a photographer. Due to the latter and to the fact that I'm giving three courses on practical and theorical aspects of photography (one in the Literature & Philosophy Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires) is that I decided to write to you. I think that not only you have a deep knowledge on Hegel's system but that you also love it.

Now, I'm trying to apply part of that philosophy to the field of photography. If I translate my notes, would you be so kind to give a glance at them?. In case I have to apply some of Hegel's terms, I will try to use the english accepted term or the german one (when I know it). Basically the system aims to show how photography develops itself from a mere object ( what we usually call a photo i.e. a surface treated with chemicals so as to react to light in certain way) to art.

I'm looking forward to your answer.
Thanks
Carlos

I was thinking about putting the first chapter of Philosophy & Revolution online. To me its the most interesting and significant. And it would reach the most wide range of people, including academic interests.
I was wondering why you don't have it online? Would you ever do it for us?
By the way, has the publisher or anyone ever raised a copywrite question with you?

Dear Andy,
First of all, I have found your web page very helpful in my studies- there's some really important texts on there, so thanks for that. But secondly, at the minute, I am subscribed to a Hegel discussion group, but I would very much like to be on a Marx discussion group also, since my knowledge of Marxist economics in particular leaves a lot to be desired! I feel that Hegel and Marx are two of the most important philosophers and have found being on the Hegel discussion group very helpful. Can you please direct me towards any Marx discussion group/s on the internet? I would appreciate it a lot if you could,
All the best (and keep up the good work!),

Dear Mister Blunden,
I'm a psychological methodologist, working on a PhD in Learning Potential at this moment.
I would like to congratulate you with and thank you for the fantastic site you host. I very often use it as a source for the articles and columns I write in the Dutch online magazine 'Writers Block magazine' (www.writersblock.net).
Since a few months I write a series on prominent psychologists (Vygotsky, Pavlov, James, Galton, Leibniz and Binet have been reviewed so far), concentrating not only on their work but especially on their lifes. Your site is always of great help.

The magazine we host has been online for almost three years now, so I know a little bit about the efforts it takes to make a good and complete site. I'm always surprised by the energy and trouble some people go through to create a site that is worth visiting. Your site is really at the top of sites with references, primary texts and background information: a real source.

One of the other sites that really amazes me and which keeps growing and growing, is the site of Christopher D. Green "Classics in the History of Psychology" (http://www.yorku.ca/dept/psych/classics/). Maybe you are already familiar with this site but otherwise you might like to visit it one day.

Subject: dialectic in human services such as marsha linehan
Greetings----

It is Good Friday and I wish you a most happy Easter.

Francis Kane is a good friend of mine at Salisbury State in Salisbury Maryland. I have spoken to him about the "dialectic" as I dealt with it in human services.

Just now I did a search and came up with you.

So ....... I certainly do not want to insult you!!!!! Marsha Linehan is at the U. of Wash in Seattle and she has developed DBT - dialectical behavioral theraphy - behav/cognitive approach for people with personality disorders - people who are very difficult to "reach" or help.

Here my question. In your experience have you had much experience in using the "dialectic" as part of an approach in human services. I am looking for some people to have this conversation with.

Please pass along any ideas or suggestions------I am sure I am also talking about paradox and just the general value of "conflict" in our everyday life.
Your web site is quite impressive. I will come back and look at it more,. I am off to Church and I want to send this to you. Thanks for such a website!!!!

From: Alex

Hello, Andy
Here is Alex from Russia.

I made an attempt to find any information about Hegel's philosophy all around Russia Internet and... failed. So I found your site, and also downloaded your book about Stalinism (but have not read it yet).

First of all I would like to note that as far as Ilyenkov E.V. is concerned - you hit the target!

Bet there is no equal figure in Philosophy in Russia now (as well as in the USSR for the past 10-30 years).

Second - I'm not a professional philosopher, just an ordinary Russian man 44 years old. But in the USSR I used to have a very good teacher (in a higher education institution) in philosophy, who told me a lot about Ilyenkov and dialectics etc.

Third - Maybe you know, maybe not, but there was only one good edition of Hegel in the USSR. The edition was made between 1930 - 1936 (or 1938) to commemorate 100 years of Hegel's death. It is about 14 volumes (don't remember for sure now) of collected works in the edition. ONLY 7000 COPIES OF EACH VOLUME - SUCH A SMALL NUMBER!!!

The editor and the author of brilliant Foreword to the Logic - was prof. A. Deborin who was killed by Stalin in 1938 or so.

It is interesting that vol. 1 of the edition was clever composed of, first, Lenin's "Philosophy copy-books" (Lenin's outline of the Logic) and, second, of Logic itself! Good methodology!

Shorter Logic was published later, may be some times, but shorter... is shorter.

So, I managed to read the Logic and.... and...
And I think that it is the beautifulest BOOK in the World ever written. And it is UNDERSTANDABLE!!!

You know, in my country there always was a common opinion that it is practically impossible to read and understand the Logic. It was 10 years ago.

Some days ago I made an attempt to find something about Hegel and dialectics in Russian Internet and found nothing. Today I'm going to repeat the attempt with "Ilyenkov", "dialectics" as keywords. Not at all sure that my attempt would be a success.

So my idea is to set up a home page devoted to Hegel's Logic, dialectics etc. in the wake.

Too many problems to do so. No scanner (but I have my own outline of Logic). Not stable access to Internet and so on and so forth with day to day problems of "New Russia".

But maybe I will manage to implement my idea.

Oh! Idea! Andy, is it possible to find somewhere in the Internet Hegel's works in Russian? (Translated into Russian). I doubt it.

Thank you for your links. By for now,
Yours,
Alex

Subject: A new logic: Neutrosophic Logic
Dear Andy,

Hegel's dialectic has been extended by Smarandache to neutrosophy, and the fuzzy logic also extended to neutrosophic logic.

Because you gather information from all over the world, I want to let you know about the philosophical activity of the University of Craiova circle. They are studying the neutrosophy and the neutrosophic logic as well.
Can you, please, introduce new entries in your dynamic database for:

  1. "Neutrosophy", which is a new view in philosophy, i.e. an extension of Hegel's dialectic, at: http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/NeutroSo.txt
  2. "Neutrosophic Probability", a generalization of the classical probability at: http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/NeutProb.txt
  3. "Neutrosophic Set", which is a generalization of the fuzzy set, at: http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/NeutSet.txt
  4. "Neutrosophic Logic", which is a generalization of the fuzzy logic, at: http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/NeutLog.txt

Neutrosophic Logic is very important in artificial intelligence, computer programming, quantum theory, etc.

All of them are due to Florentin Smarandache, author of Neutrosophy: Neutrosophic Probability, Set, and Logic, American Research Press, Rehoboth, ISBN 1-879585-63-4, Library of Congress Catalog Number 98-70533, 105 pages, 1998.
The book is also published in five parts online at:

There are many other new terms proposed in this book (see the fifth part of it - contents).

The neutrosophy, as a new view point in philosophy, is now the subject of study of a group of philosophers from the University of Craiova and Bucharest, together with: I. Ceapraz, P.Popescu-Neveanu, etc. and students.
Mr. Emil Burton is now defending his dissertation at the University of Cluj on "Neutrosophic Logic, a better approach on the study of Uncertainty".

I am available for any assistance and welcome to keep in touch with you.

Praise for your impressing work on your web-site.

I have for awhile moved around Hegel and I have found some enlightenment from your site. I would like to thank you for making it possible to find texts, which otherwise would be out of reach.

For information:
I am not working professionally with philosophy - far from it - I am a banker by profession (more than 40 years of experience - and still learning!), but Hegel turned up in various connections to reading (Walter Benjamin among others), and as Hegel is forbiddingly difficult to read - in German or in translation - one have to move around and listen to those who had the stamina and insight to read the master himself.

Thanks again for your exemplary site!
