Have you read the entire series? If you like science-fiction titles, I recommend Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke highly, as both of their books have major motion pictures. Philip K. Dick is another, whose book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is another good book and served as an influence for Blade Runner.

i wonder what religious studies people make of Hegel's philosophy of religion

I'm not sure if I would consider myself a religious studies person and have not read "Introduction to the Philsophy of Religion" yet, but if it takes a "Phenomenological" approach to spirituality, I'm all for it...

...Some related work is that of Rudolf Steiner, particularly the ideas that have Goethe as an influence. A lot of "mysticism", Christian and otherwise, has a tendency to home in on conditioning oneself in order to receive personal revelation ("gnosis")...

...It can be quite pratical at times too (e.g.: like how regular meditation leads to physiological changes that quiet the mind and bring about a long-term sense of peace). Buddhism is a particularly clear example of this...

...Generally, I believe that all science came about through such methods and can be directly traced all the way back into prehistory by way of what would now be referred to as "Alchemy". The "natural philosophers" (Decartes, Newton, Leibniz, et al.) were quite mystical...

...For example, Decartes' "Meditations" is literally a Yoga manual. It demonstrates a method for obtaining "moksha" (or "liberation") through knowledge of Self. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa4WtuR0wbY]

thanks for your input! i meant more along the lines of the actual academic discipline of religious studies but you might be interested in Glenn A. Magee's Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition

i don't consider myself terribly interested in mysticism and while i found Magee's book somewhat interesting i found allegations of Hegel's hermeticism sort of besides the point to Hegel's larger philosophical project and ambitions

Ah, I see. While I am not too familar with the field, maybe the work of Jon Stewart can give us some clues? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart_(philosopher)

letslearntogether 2 years ago

I would not be surprised if you've already heard of him though. Thanks for the heads up on the Magee book. I have to check that one out. Looks fantastic!

I've mostly survived off of bags of lentils and frozen mixed vegetables over the past three years, as I can find both for relatively cheap. When I can, I might season it in different ways (e.g.: Ketchup + Italian Mix, BBQ Sauce + Memphis Dry Rub, etc.). Those combinations are usually pretty cheap for me too.

what is Inflation meals? i like to eat cookies

letslearntogether 2 years ago

@chipsfunfun "Inflation" means that money is not worth as much now, so meals are more expensive. Therefore, many people are trying to get by on cheaper / less food.
