Thank you, Robert. A video, maybe an interview, reviewing
the book, would be good, but I tremble at the thought of 24
videos trying to cover the material of this "slim volume"
(280pp) in detail. I think I make Hegel easier to understand
than other expositions, but Hegel remains difficult, and I
think there is an uneliminable place for the written word here.
