Philosophy Is By Its Nature Something Esoteric,

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.

Everything That From Eternity Has Happened In Heaven And Earth, The Life Of God And All The Deeds Of Time Simply Are The Struggles For Spirit To Know Itself, To Find Itself, Be For Itself, And Finally Unite Itself To Itself; It Is Alienated And Divided, But Only So As To Be Able Thus To Find Itself And Return To Itself...as Existing In An Individual Form, This Liberation Is Called 'i'; As Developed To Its Totality, It Is Free Spirit; As Feeling, It Is Love; And As Enjoyment, It Is Blessedness.

The History Of The World Is Not The Theatre Of Happiness. Periods Of Happiness Are Blank Pages In It, For They Are Periods Of Harmony--periods When The Antithesis Is In Abeyance.

History In General Is Therefore The Development Of Spirit In Time, As Nature Is The Development Of The Idea Is Space.

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.
