Always interesting how the Anglo world never really got into Hegel, I guess it's their lack of real philosophical spirit that explains it. They never really got passed Hume's empiricist reflexes.
- keiferski 2y agoThey did get into Hegel for a bit, but the subsequent developments in math, language, etc. (what is now called Analytic Philosophy) kind of wiped out the interest in them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_idealism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_idealism But yeah, you could probably argue that the empiricist approach never quite went away. Even today, analytic philosophy (which is predominantly an Anglo-American phenomenon) is notoriously uninterested in politics and "big society" questions.
- abathologist 2y agoThere are important exceptions, such as C.S. Peirce, Whitehead, and currently Robert Brandom. William Lawvere is also a post-hegelian.
