The Rational Revolution and Hegel

The Rational Revolution and Hegel
Engels says, “The task of examining and developing science in its internal interconnections was first undertaken by Hegel in history,” and Marx and Engels always speak of Hegel and his theory as the master’s dialectic.

Undoubtedly, their speaking of him as a master shows Hegel’s power, which is actually the power of the bourgeoisie’s revolutionary power—the power of free rationality, which is now far behind. His era reveals Hegel’s power.

But whatever happens, he still stands before us in all his majesty. And today, for us, the main issue is to be able to restore Reason (Mind) to its old throne, to the freedom it had in the time of Hegel and Marx.

The Mystery of Philosophy

The Mystery of Philosophy
Dive into the Philosophy of Science to explore how philosophical concepts shape scientific understanding and methodology.
We refer to the sciences that accept an initial empirical point as empirical sciences. In general, their essential aims and outcomes are laws and general propositions, which are concepts; what they find relates to ideas rather than anything else. Thus, while Newton’s physics was called natural philosophy, Hugo Grotius gathered the historical actions between nations into a collection of general principles, creating a theory known as the Philosophy of International Law. The term “philosophy” in England still carries this general meaning, with Newton retaining his reputation as one of the greatest philosophers. However, the term is reduced to tools like pressure gauges, which don’t fall under categories such as magnetic or electric devices, and are called philosophical instruments. Without a doubt, philosophy should be attributed to thought alone, not to the composition of wood or iron. In this sense, the field of political economy, particularly known as rational or theoretical economics in Germany, also began to take the name of philosophy, especially in recent times (Science of Logic, p. 7).

Philosophical Critique of Sınıftan Kaçan Çocuk

By incorporating Şahin’s own words into this philosophical critique, we can see how Sınıftan Kaçan Çocuk challenges some of the core tenets of Marxist theory, particularly in its treatment of individual freedom, its use of dialectical method, and its understanding of the state and globalization. While his critique offers valuable insights into the limitations of Marxism, it also raises important questions about the possibility of reconciling individual autonomy with collective liberation, and whether the state and globalization can ever truly serve as vehicles for emancipation.
