Sensuous, sensuousigkeiten, genau, yeah.
But I mean, Eliot kind of more or less paraphrases Feuerbach when discussing Rosamund in Middlemarch.
She writes, men and women make sad mistakes about their own symptoms, taking their vague, uneasy longings, sometimes for religion.
But here we run up against the second central figure on whom this claim of Middlemarch being a great work of continental philosophy rests, who is Hegel, right?
Both Strauss and Feuerbach were young Hegelians.
They were pupils of Hegel.
And Eliot, in England, in London, was in dialogue with the English Hegelians, Charles Appleton and John Sibri.
Her husband, George Lewes, is writing extensively on Hegel.
In fact, like Cazorbon, he spends 25 years writing a biographical history of philosophy for which Hegel was a central figure.
So I think this is the real rock on which it's kind of built.
Yes, no, for sure.
I mean, so I had not read the phenomenology until very recently.
In fact, in preparation, I mean, you know, so much of continental philosophy you read, you read like
Heidegger or Derrida, all these people, and Hegel is the sun around which they're orbiting.
But I never, or, you know, Lacan, Bataille, I mean, everyone, it's Hegel, Hegel, Hegel.
But I'd never actually read the phenomenology until this last month.
Oh, my God.
What a book.
I'm a Hegelian now.
I should have it on a T-shirt.
