First Three Videos in "Dissemblance and Duplicity" Section

Now we start a new, second section of the "Morality" portion of the "Spirit" part of the work - "Dissemblance and Duplicity".  We pick up some of the seemingly paradoxical threads that already began to display themselves in the preceding section, and try to work them through entirely (and, if you know Hegel, you realize that this "entirely" is less of an ending point than an ideal!)

Why is this section titled with those terms?  In Hegel's German, it's actually just one term, "Die Verstellung", which could be rendered with either of those terms, or even "disguise".  You might ask who is engaging in dissemblance or duplicity - and what is being mis-represented (if you'd like to play off Vor-stellung) in that way.

At any rate, here are those three first videos. More yet to come in this section.
