More quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to oneanother. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The Catholics had been in the position of oppressors, and the Protestants of the oppressed
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The substance, the essence, the Spirit is freedom.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Serious occupation is labor that has reference to some want.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
It is because the method of physics does not satisfy the comprehension that we have to go on further.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
In the case of various kinds of knowledge, we find that what in former days occupied the energies of men of mature mental ability sinks to the level of information, exercises, and even pastimes for children and in this educational progress we can see the history of the world's culture delineated in faint outline.

The sole work and deed of universal freedom is therefore death, a death too which has no inner significance or filling, for what is negated is the empty point of the absolutely free self. It is thus the coldest and meanest of all deaths, with no more significance than cutting off a head of cabbage or swallowing a mouthful of water.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Animals are in possession of themselves their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Once the state has been founded, there can no longer be any heroes. They come on the scene only in uncivilized conditions.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The State is the absolute reality and the individual himself has objective existence, truth and morality only in his capacity as a member of the State.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
America is therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World's History shall reveal itself.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Too fair to worship, too divine to love.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Philosophy is the history of philosophy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Beauty is merely the Spiritual making itself known sensuously.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I have the courage to be mistaken.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The man whom philosophy leaves cold, and the man whom real faith does not illuminate, may be assured that the fault lies in them, not in knowledge and faith. The former is still an alien to philosophy, the latter an alien to faith.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Science and knowledge, especially that of philosophy, came from the Arabs into the West.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
