My (33F) husband's (35M) career in academic philosophy is ruining our marriage. hegelianwife 16 2019-09-21 15:14:05 and is by his own admission "bad at math"), but he just gets angry with me and explains that Hegel's system is presuppositional and the basis for all possible rational thought so there is no need at all to read other texts in the first place (I have no idea what this means). He will throw out terms like "speculative My husband and I are both academics. We've been married for 3 years, and been together for 6. He is an academic philosopher and I am a physicist. He has recently expressed displeasure that I've never seriously engaged with his work. Now, I've read a bit of the classics of philosophy, but my husband's work propositions" but when I ask him to explain what this means or give me is more in what I'm told is called the "continental" tradition. Unfortunately, everything he's shown me has just seems completely insane. examples he just starts giving me more inscrutable jargon that makes no sense. On top of that, he will repeatedly say German phrases or terms that he uses (and pronounces) incorrectly (I am a native speaker) or nonsensically. He Here's the problem: his work apparently involves claims about physics that are claims to understand the language (he doesn't) and tells me that Hegel can just wrong, and wrong in a very embarrassing way! Ill admit, I'm a terrible person, but I had never read his thesis before. I tried reading it and it's riddled language and when I've tried to read the original texts they make even less with talk about for instance the necessary relationship between matter having sense. "extension" and possessing mass. He also talks about the "shape" of fundamental particles. This is obviously nonsensical/wrong; electrons have mass and are point particles (they don't take up space really). In the thesis and creepiness. At one point he literally told me that all other work either agrees some other papers he wrote he seems to think of himself as "scientific" and a "materialist" but his entire idea of what these words mean is stuck in like, outdated 19th century ideas about atoms as little billiard balls flying around in changed his phone's background from a picture of me to this same picture of space. I've gently tried to help him and explain how he might start to engage seriously with contemporary physics (he has never read a book on the subject only be understood "in the original German" but he clearly can't read the On top of this, his obsession with Hegel himself has reached the point of with Hegel so is redundant, or disagrees with Hegel and is wrong. He keeps a framed picture of Hegel on the nightstand in our bedroom. In fact, he even Hegel. I feel like I am competing with a 200 year old philosopher for my husband's attention. Don't make fun of German ldealism ever again! I-I'm sorry, honey...
