[MD] Boromir's Journey

[Matt Kundert]

> So, anytime I hear Royce disparaged as Hegelian, I 
pound on 'em.

Matt:
Eh, intellectual historians have to quibble like that.  I still 
think Hegel is a useful heuristic that captures what's 
common to Royce and say Bradley and McTaggert.  And 
bare in my mind that I think Hegel was one of the most 
important things to happen to philosophy--I just think the 
Absolute Geist from his later period misguided the earliest 
generations following him.  In fact, come to think of it, the 
difference between the early Hegel and the late is much 
like the distinction I made between hope and faith--it 
would've been better to have the hope (early) without 
feeling like you had to transform it into faith (late).

But, fair enough.  On the other hand, Peirce is my least 
favorite pragmatist, and he perceived himself as a Kantian, 
and stepping from Hegel to Kant looks, well, like a step 
backward.
