Phänomenologie des Geistes
Buy on Amazon"So these sects that you're referring to in the Middle Ages of kind of bizarre Christianity were actually Gnostic heresies that were developing, and I think that by means of Hegel coming down through Marx, who inverted it, I believe we actually are looking at a Gnostic heresy hidden inside of economics, social — in fact, if we read 'Phenomenology of Spirit' from Hegel, 1807, a publication, you get distinctly the sense that what he means by spirit is what he says he means by spirit."
