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?

Useless fact: I was born two houses down from Michael Faraday's house. True story.

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.

It sold in 2020 for a mere £1,750,000
