Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
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
Image

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Genuine tragedy is a case not of right against wrong but of right against right - two equally justified ethical principles embodied in people of unchangeable will.
