Oooh you're a naughty mess

A philosophy like Hegel's is a self-revelation of the psychic background and, philosophically, a presumption. Psychologically it amounts to an invasion by the Unconscious. The peculiar, high-flown language Hegel uses bears out this view -- it is reminiscent of the megalomaniac language of schizophrenics, who use terrific, spellbinding words to reduce the transcendent to subjective form, to give banalities the charm of novelty, or pass off commonplaces as searching wisdom. So bombastic a terminology is a symptom of weakness, ineptitude, and lack of substance."

– Carl G. Jung, On the Nature of the Psyche, 1928

thus is one of my favorite philosophers of old battered by cg/ my reason for deciding to study hegel was that he was perceived as so difficult that people would generally shy away from studying him/ i thought therefore that if i could at least give the impression of understanding him it would look good to the examination board/ however after a while i started to fall in love with his ideas (rather his system of ideas)/i was seduced by what is essentially religious longing dressed up as reason/ but i was smoking a lot of skunk at the time...
