Great lecture, Professor. I studied Physics at Columbia University in the 1980's, but my hobbie was always studying Eastern Philosophy & Religion. I took courses in those topics during college when I could & I have read many books & listened to many lectures over the decades on that subject. On the other hand, this was the very 1st time I heard a lecture about Western Philosophy taught by a scholar from India and originally intended (I presume since it was a lecture from IIT Faculty) for Indian University students. The most important aspect of the presentation was the high quality of the presentation, of course. Thanks for that, Prof. In addition, I also enjoyed experiencing for the first time the "inverse" of what I have spent a lifetime doing--> listening to Western Scholars (well actually primarily, but not exclusively Western Scholars) attempt to explain Hindu, Buddhist, Jain Philosophy to Western audiences. BTW, I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but please don't let your friends become Hegelians. Hege'sl legacy here in the West has not been a good one. Still, it was a great lecture!!!!!!

Dr. Sreekumar, Im studying in Princeton now and I feel your explanation is one of the best available online. More strength to you! Thanks

Thank you sir. Found your lecture very useful. Much appreciate your efforts.

Bloody good show mate...seriously...good shite!

The very idea of Geist, the spirit of Hegel, I suppose , is very near to the Brahman, the absolute truth of Adwait Vedant. He talks about realisation, phenomenon reality is mere appearance ( due to maya in Adwait Vedant) and so on... Well, due to lack of 'Guru Shishya Parampara' or the tradition of moving the idea further(in west), Hegels idea could not reach to the great number of population, plus at the same time different ideas were emerging and taking place in world for say Marxism, otherwise Hegel could be, perhaps, greatest philosopher of west.

Thank you,it was a great lecture!!
