Jenny and I discuss (and try to simplify) our series on Hegel. We begin to discuss the "Good Hegel," episode 36 of the Christian Atheist, the second episode of the series.
In our series on atheism I discovered that credal atheists represent a very limited threat to theism, both because their intellectual position is weak, being ungrounded, and because what most Enlightenment atheists really want and how they act tends to betray their credal stance. This sort of atheist is only about 5% of the US population, though significantly more in Europe.
What our two-track Hegelian definition of atheism also reveals, though, is that there is a far more robust and pernicious manifestation of the spirit of atheism, one that has been with us for a very long time but has never reached such broad acceptance before in the Western world. Its modern incarnation, I claim, finds its origin in the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
We must know the enemy if we wish to defeat him, because he lives inside our heads - LITERALLY.
