Is Hegel Cool? Josh Wretzel's "The Coolness of the Absolute" Live at Webster's Cafe in State College, PA

This episode features a live recording of The Coolness of the
Absolute, an Acid Horizon event held in State College during the
fall of 2024. Penn State philosophy professor Josh Wretzel
reinterprets Hegel’s Jena Phenomenology as a moral psychology,
exploring three varieties of moral personality and their
culmination in absolute knowing. Josh connects these ideas to the
cool jazz of Miles Davis, offering a profound reflection on how
both philosophy and jazz embody calm contemplation amidst
disruption.
