Tower of Hegel

"Hegel: Reason in History" Translated by Robert S. Hartman.



The Note:



"seems like all these philosophers are all about stuffing the world into this or that system. why not just try to learn the natural system of Nature. (cause? effect? though w/o reason?) (close to logic?)"

Which was written in response to the following passage from the Editor's introduction:

The Idea developing in space is Nature, the Idea subsequently--or rather consequently, for it is all a logical process--developing in time is Spirit. The latter, the development of the Idea in time, or of Spirit, is History. History thus becomes one of the great movements of the Idea; it becomes embedded in a metaphysical flow of universal scope. It is universal History.
