>The actual is rational, and the rational is the actual
>The Whole alone is the True, and the True is the the Whole
What did he mean by these?
>reading Hegel translations
It's basically saying that when a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, it doesn't make a sound... and there's no tree. Or forest...

It isn't saying that at all, what is wrong with you?
>>415897
Yes it is. His whole point is that perception creates reality. Whole=reality, Truth=perception. And vice versa.

This really depends on the language though. i read it in dutch, and a lot of germans terms really have counterparts with the same conceptual meaning in dutch.

Ok, let me help you a bit with the first one
According to Heinrich Heine, a former student of Hegel, a lot of people complained against Hegel about the vagueness of this term. He replied by saying that you could also put it in this way: 'Everything that is rational, is inevitable'.
This aformism is by no means of any state. The Hegelian actual means ' the inevitable dasein'. The existence of the thing is not based on sheer luck, but can be explained by reason and so it is 'rational'.

>implying this isn't Berkeley
He's referencing Heraclitus. The "rational" is logos.

Hegel is already an important read if you were ever interested in the theoretical origins of extreme ideologies ( marxism/fascism). Yes he's dense and some sentences are really impossible to understand ( unless you're actually a professional Hegel scholar with a lot of experience), but that doesn't justify the ignoring of Hegel.

It means Just War is acceptable. I am not kidding. This is the usual part Marx hated, since it legitimized the Nation-State as the End of History.

this one
effectivity = rationality
which is the sole fantasy of the rationalist....
