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.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

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

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

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

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
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
What is reasonable is real that which is real is reasonable.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
