More quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The East knew and to the present day knows only that One is Free the Greek and the Roman world, that some are free the German World knows that All are free. The first political form therefore which we observe in History, is Despotism, the second Democracy and Aristocracy, the third, Monarchy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Science and knowledge, especially that of philosophy, came from the Arabs into the West.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
In duty the individual acquires his substantive freedom
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Poetry is the universal art of the spirit which has become free in itself and which is not tied down for its realization to external sensuous material instead, it launches out exclusively in the inner space and the inner time of ideas and feelings.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The essence of the modern state is the union of the universal with the full freedom of the particular, and with the welfare of individuals.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
In the Soul is the awaking of Consciousness: Consciousness sets itself up as Reason, awaking at one bound to the sense of its rationality: and this Reason by its activity emancipates itself to objectivity and the consciousness of its intelligent unity.
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
The real is the rational and the rational is the real.
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.
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
The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
If you want to love you must serve, if you want freedom you must die.
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
Whatever is reasonable is true, and whatever is true is reasonable
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Beauty is merely the Spiritual making itself known sensuously.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Serious occupation is labor that has reference to some want.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
World history is a court of judgment.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
God is, as it were, the sewer into which all contradictions flow.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
