Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher, one of the creators of German Idealism. His historicist and idealist account of reality as a whole revolutionized European philosophy and was an important precursor to Continental philosophy and Marxism. Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, or "system", of Absolute idealism to account in an integrated and developmental way for the relation of mind and nature, the subject and object of knowledge, psychology, the state, history, art, religion and philosophy.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel quotes

  • To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual.

    - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
  • Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.

    - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
  • We do not need to be shoemakers to know if our shoes fit, and just as little have we any need to be professionals to acquire knowledge of matters of universal interest.

    - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
  • When liberty is mentioned, we must always be careful to observe whether it is not really the assertion of private interests which is thereby designated.

    - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
  • As high as mind stands above nature, so high does the state stand above physical life. Man must therefore venerate the state as a secular deity. The march of God in the world, that is what the State is.

    - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
