Each episode we pick a text and chat about it with insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy or even have read the text we're talking about to follow and enjoy the discussion.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T04:19:21.522787+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-partially-examined-life-1605957"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 389: Hegel on Wealth and Power (Part One)","slug":"ep-389-hegel-on-wealth-and-power-part-one","published_at":"2026-04-13T12:20:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-partially-examined-life-1605957/ep-389-hegel-on-wealth-and-power-part-one","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-partially-examined-life-1605957","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8887560","audio_url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8887560.mp3?modified=1776087789&sid=1416170&source=rss","summary":"Continuing on Hegel's Phenomenology , \"Spirit\" chapter, now up to sections 511-526, which finishes off the sub-section of \"Self-Alienated Spirit\" called \"Culture and its Realm of Actuality.\" Whereas in our last discussion, obeying the state (public power) ran counter to hoarding wealth (private power), at this stage, the two converge, because the state gets concentrated in a single monarch who both receives our power and doles out wealth to his supporters. So putting your effort into obtaining private wealth ironically requires surrendering your agency (and hence wealth) to the state. Get more at partiallyexaminedlife.com .
