History In General Is Therefore The Development

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.

Education To Independence Demands That Young People Should Be Accustomed Early To Consult Their Own Sense Of Propriety And Their Own Reason. To Regard Study As Mere Receptivity And Memory Work Is To Have A Most Incomplete View Of What Instruction Means.

In History An Additional Result Is Commonly Produced By Human Actions Beyond That Which They Aim At And Obtain -- That Which They Immediately Recognize And Desire. They Gratify Their Own Interest; But Something Further Is Thereby Accomplished, Latent In The Actions In Question, Though Not Present To Their Consciousness, And Not Included In Their Design.
