Image
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
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
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
Image
It is because the method of physics does not satisfy the comprehension that we have to go on further.
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
Every idea, extended into infinity, becomes its own opposite.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
I have the courage to be mistaken.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Life has value only when it has something valuable as its object.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
What history teaches us is that neither nations nor governments ever learn anything from it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
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
Image
When individuals and nations have once got in their heads the abstract concept of full-blown liberty, there is nothing like it in its uncontrollable strength.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Propounding peace and love without practical or institutional engagement is delusion, not virtue.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
World history is a court of judgment.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
On the stage on which we are observing it, — Universal History — Spirit displays itself in its most concrete reality.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

No man is a hero to his valet de chamber
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is no hero, but because the valet is a valet.
