Sociology society meeting: monday, sept 17th, musc, room 318, 5:30 6:20. The ideas of georg friedrich hegel: was a german philosopher, based on two key concepts, first imp concept is dialectic. Way of thinking about view of the world stresses the importance of conflict and contradictions. Always two sides of a conflict or contradiction. Out of this clash something new may immerge: second key concept is idealism. Emphasized the importance of mind and mental products (ideas) rather than the material, physical world. Only dealing with ideas not tangible substances. The ideas of ludvig feuerbach: disagreed with hegels focus on idealism, feuerbachs philosophy focused on materialism, thought it was important to address the real material conditions of the human existence. Furbach tended to focus on the material aspects of life in a one sided fashion (he wasn"t approaching is dialectically, not looking at both sides)
