@SRCHicks, Without wanting to abuse the charity of your time, but at the same time wishing for clarity:

GIVEN:
1) Group Differences: Naval, Commercial, Secular Administrative Britain (Athens, Aristotle, Empirical) -vs- Landed, Agrarian, Clerically Administrative Germany (Sparta, Plato, Literary) -vs- Landed and Naval, Expansionist, Clerically Administrative, France (Late Rome, Augustine, Secular Theological).

2) I don’t see any positive impact from Hegel. And of course, it’s quite easy to interpret Foucault two ways: either he was trying, as were all postmoderns, to produce relativism to continue the project of maintaining the traditional French influence of the clerisy cum secular clerisy, transforming german (masculine) traditional pursuit of behavioral and cultural capital into french (feminine) behavioral consumption, or he was trying to suggest that his criticism of Hegel was to favor anglo empiricism. Obviously the former, but it’s possible for readers to presume the latter.

THEREFORE
Are you saying the purpose of studying Hegel is to understand ‘what went wrong’? (Which I think is a general theme you pursue somewhat indirectly and with your rather charming Canadian gentility and benevolence. 😉 )

Cheers
Again thanks for all you do and have done.
