I've never had cause to concern myself with Hegel, so maybe you can answer a question that has troubled me for a long time:

Is Marxism so disordered, deterministic, and materialist because Hegel was a sick philosopher? Much as Hitler was inspired by the sickness of Nietzsche?

Or was Hegel a well-ordered realist, and Marx twisted a healthy philosophy into a political disorder of his own?

Excellent! I'd make a physics joke here but nobody would get it.

No... that was Wolfgang Pauli... excellent observation, though. Ok, it wasn't his address.. but 137 was the room he passed away in.
