My fave line: "So what was once tacit and implicit came to be made explicit through a difficult and painful process." this feels like it is one of those important types of wisdoms which is always true, even if we don't want it to be.
Hi Nina! Thanks so much for the question. I have to admit I have not yet looked deeply into Hegel, but my sense is that he will provide a bridge between Rousseau and Marx, Feuerbach, and Nietzsche, all of whom see consciousness as changing over time. I started to look into an ancient thread too (Hesiod, Genesis, Lucretius) but haven't finished that thinking yet :) Do you know if Hegel discusses logic in Phenomenology of Spirit?

A fascinating topic. I’m looking forward to reading more about this.
Thanks so much for reading Caroline! I'd love to hear any questions if you have them.
I'm interested to know exactly how Durkheim's anthropological research challenged the idea of logic as absolute. What kind of research did he do?
Also, I loved the analogy with Athena bursting forth from Zeus's head.
Thank you! I wondered how this view of logic as not absolute but changing aligns with Hegel and his historical view of the evolution of consciousness.
