@DaveedGR Socrates, the idealized character in a book, or Socrates, the historical being?
@DaveedGR Interesting part. Don't know how you could do Hegel in 140 characters.

@emptywheel To be clear: I'm not a big Hegel fan. But two things: 1) He's hard to follow in part b/c of his focus on the nature of time.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@emptywheel It would be fascinating to see Hegel try to philosophize about the nature of time on a fast-moving medium like Twitter. -
@DaveedGR Oh. Gotcha. I guess maybe I don't think twitter is place to try philosophy but that's not a bad thing.

@emptywheel They based the books published under Hegel's name on his lectures. I hope the lectures were clearer than the books!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
