Summary

In "Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God," G. W. F. Hegel presents a compelling philosophical investigation into the nature of divine existence, integrating metaphysical inquiry with rigorous logic. Rooted in the tradition of Enlightenment thought, Hegel engages with the ontological, cosmological, and teleological arguments, aiming not only to establish the existence of God but also to explore the implications of this existence for human understanding and ethics. His dialectical method unfolds systematically, encouraging readers to see truth as a dynamic, evolving process rather than a static conclusion, a hallmark of Hegelian philosophy that positions the lectures within a broader context of German idealism and theological discourse of the 19th century. Hegel, as a pivotal figure in philosophy, was influenced by his background in Lutheran theology and his critical engagement with Enlightenment rationalism. His scholarly journey through different philosophical schools, coupled with his experiences during the turbulent socio-political climate of his time, equipped him with a unique perspective that sought to reconcile faith and reason. This background informs his nuanced approach to divine existence, where he contemplates both the abstract and the concrete aspects of faith. "Lectures on the Proofs of the Existence of God" is a critical read for scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas. This text encourages readers to grapple with profound questions about existence, God, and human agency, showcasing Hegel's brilliance in blending rigorous philosophical inquiry with spiritual introspection. It is an essential addition to any intellectual's library, promising to spark deep reflection and debate.

    Samples: 
    "Little by little the writing gets done. A book emerges from the ether, to join its brethren in the great library of mankind. I am the author. Of all possible lives I might have chosen, this one feels right." 
    -- 
    "When I was working on my first novel, then my second, then my third, I kept thinking there would come a day when, finally, I’d have it all figured out. There’d be some novel writing process I could follow again and again that would allow me to write books with far less hassle and strain. Eventually I realized that hassle and strain are the process."

    Moscow State University Address

    On May 31, 1988, at the request of General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, and standing below a bust of Lenin, Reagan spoke to and answered questions from a large audience of students and teachers at Moscow State University.  
    Reagan says “I wish you success” in Russian to the students on their upcoming exams. Reagan brings “a message of peace and good will and hope for a growing friendship and closeness between our two peoples.”  
    An information revolution is sweeping the globe that will transform our lives with robots, genetic coding, spacecraft, and other technologies. The key to progress is economic freedom. Entrepreneurs with the courage to take risks “are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.”  
    The Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, India, and China are seeing the power of economic freedom. Freedom “is the continuing revolution of the marketplace.”  
    Nations “must renounce, once and for all, the right to an expansionist foreign policy.” “People do not make wars; governments do.” “Americans seek always to make friends of old antagonists”, for example, Britain, Germany, and Japan.  
    Nothing would please me more than to see “a growing, exuberant, exporting Soviet Union that had opened up to economic freedom”. In this Moscow spring of May 1988, we hope for a new world of reconciliation, freedom, and peace. 
    Following the speech, Reagan fields questions from the audience on a variety of topics: the START ballistic missile treaty, how young people have changed since he was a student, conflicts in Namibia and Nicaragua, the return of missing Soviet soldiers from Afghanistan, what’s unique about the U.S. Constitution, Reagan’s speaking plan on the mashed-potato circuit after retiring, American Indians, and Soviet dissidents.
