More quotes by 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
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
It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
The Catholics had been in the position of oppressors, and the Protestants of the oppressed
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Philosophy is the history of philosophy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
If you want to love you must serve, if you want freedom you must die.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
War is progress, peace is stagnation.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
Science and knowledge, especially that of philosophy, came from the Arabs into the West.
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
India has created a special momentum in world history as a country to be searched for knowledge.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized--the question involuntarily arises--to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
There are Plebes in all classes.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
People who are too fastidious towards the finite never reach actuality, but linger in abstraction, and their light dies away.
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
Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
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
