[edit] Philosophy question at RD/H

You are of course correct that the answer is Hegel. Such ideas are omnipresent in his work one of the most major themes - so much so that anyone who doesn't realize this can't be said to understand Hegel at all. (So you clearly understand him better than Clio etc.) Look in a myriad of places in his History of Philosophy. Many of his most famous sentences are relevant - Just from memory - Phenomenology of Spirit - preface - No philosophy that deserves the name can be or ever has been refuted, one can just as well say that a flower refutes the bud. Philosophy of History, introduction - When philosophy begins to paint its grey on grey, some form of life must have grown old. The Owl of Minerva flies at dusk. The whole of his philosophy is devoted to the notion (IMHO quite true) that Philosophy is identical to the History of Philosophy - that each philosophy describes the world as well as the human race can describe its understanding at the time and that the history of philosophy shows mankind pulling himself up by his own bootstraps, building an endless philosophical system as he as discovers conceptual building blocks that help him understand the world as best he can at any given time. Hegel of course felt he was the last word at the time, but was not under the impression that history would stop in 1831. His self assessment in the Phenomenology is that no one knows better than him the defects of his work, but that he knows he was on the right road. He was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.234.15.152 (talk) 05:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
