Episode #067 - What Hegel Was Saying!

The episode explains how Hegel challenges Kant’s view that we can’t access reality, arguing that perception itself is reality. He rejects the idea that knowledge comes from fixed truths or raw senses, instead seeing it as shaped by changing relationships and consciousness. This lays the foundation for his broader ideas about history and freedom.
