In this episode of Take Every Thought Captive, Jason and Dr. Smith discuss Hegel's view of freedom. We cover:
- Kantian freedom: freedom of rational (universal and consistent) decision making
- Kantian freedom + mutual recognition
- Our self-recognition is only verified by the mutual recognition of someone else
- But the "other" is a problem
- Freedom and the end of history is a social and cultural achievement
- Freedom is found in the ethical and the ethical is obedience to the rational state
