Welcome to Hegel's Bagels

Hegel's Bagels

A blog for true philosophers by Coleman Gariety, the world's most erudite scholar of Hegelian thought.

The purpose of this blog is to throw the light of being directly onto what (scandalously) goes by the name of ‘politics’ today. All that is one-sided will be exposed as two-sided; all that is shrouded in mystery will be held to the light without disenchantment; all that is narcissistic will be transformed into true love.
