Image
The substance, the essence, the Spirit is freedom.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Philosophy is the history of philosophy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
The proofs of the existence of God are to such an extent fallen into discredit that they pass for something antiquated, belonging to days gone by.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Whatever happens, every individual is a child of his time so philosophy too is its own time apprehended in thoughts. It is just as absurd to fancy that a philosophy can transcend its contemporary world as it is to fancy that an individual can overleap his own age, jump over Rhodes.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
God is the absolute truth...
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
The sublime in art is the attempt to express the infinite without finding in the realm of phenomena any object which proves itself fitting for this representation.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
The nature of finite things is to have the seed of their passing-away as their essential being: the hour of their birth is the hour of their death.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
As high as mind stands above nature, so high does the state stand above physical life. Man must therefore venerate the state as a secular deity.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
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
Image
In history, we are concerned with what has been and what is in philosophy, however, we are concerned not with what belongs exclusively to the past or to the future, but with that which is, both now and eternally — in short, with reason.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Beauty is merely the Spiritual making itself known sensuously.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Impatience asks for the impossible, wants to reach the goal without the means of getting there. The length of the journey has to be borne with, for every moment is necessary.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
What is reasonable is real that which is real is reasonable.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
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
Image
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
