- Authors
Bowman, Brady
- Abstract
The article discusses German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's book "Phenomenology of Spirit" and its relation to philosopher Benedictus de Spinoza's view of sensuous experience and to the Eleusinian mysteries. Particular focus is given to the first chapter of Hegel's aforementioned book, titled "Sense Certainty," in relation to Spinoza's notion of substance, or that which stands beyond sensuous objects and experience. An overview of Hegel's thought experiments regarding the senses and sensuous experience is also provided. The article examines the role that pantheism and Christianity play in "Sense Certainty."
