A retelling of G. W. F. Hegel · 1807

Phenomenology of Spirit

“Hegel's first great work traces the journey of consciousness from the simplest certainty — 'this, here, now' — through perception, self-consciousness, the struggle of master and servant, reason, the history of ethical life, culture and revolution, morality and religion, to 'absolute knowing': spirit that comprehends itself and its own history.”
