Hegel : You Will Change The Course Of History When You Understand This

Hegel : You Will Change The Course Of History When You Understand This georg wilhelm hegel was a highly influential german philosopher of the late 18th and 19th century. after breaking with kant, hegel claimed to achieve absolute knowledge by reconciling thought with reality. according to him , becoming is explained by a purely conceptual movement driven by the dynamics of opposites. hegel once said. nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion. this quote is among the most famous quotes in the history of philosophy. it has been accompanied by many misunderstandings and misinterpretations. taking out of context, this quote makes hegel the romantic champion of passion, against the narrow rationalism of the enlightenment era , and the austere morality of christianity. for hegel, passion is neutral. it's neither good, nor bad. it's not its variable content that interests him , but it's form, which is that of a hierarchical totalization of one's desires. meaning, that one puts in his passion , all the living interest of his mind , his talent , his character and his enjoyment into a content. a passionate individual , for hegel , is the one who is monomaniacal, who puts his whole soul at the service of a single goal. however, this quote goes beyond than just that. hegel viewed passion as a driving force. it's not simply an emotional or fleeting irrational desire. it's a sustained commitment of one's will and energy towards a particual goal. for hegel, reason alone is not enough to instigate significant change or great achievement in the world. true greatness emerges when passionate commitment aligns with rational understanding of the historical moment and the potential for progress and development. greatness in this context refers not to personal achievements , but to actions that actually have huge impact on the course of history , contributing to the unfolding of the world spirit and realization of freedom . this leads us to what hegel called , world historical individuals , who are according to him , figures who are driven by passions , who become instruments of geist , or the world spirit, to advance history towards greater freedom and self consciousness. understood this way, passion is the condition of action itself . passion puts in order the anarchic adversity of human's desires, it hierarchizes our impulses by submitting them to a unified goal. to understand the concept of passion more deeply , think of the historical figure who brought about significant change. hegel argued that their accomplishments were not solely due to intellectual understanding or rational planning , but also to a profound passion for their cause, their art or ideas , which fueled their relentless efforts and enabled them to overcome all immense obstacles. thank you for watching. #hegel #philosophyofhistory #hegelquotes #philosophy
