Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (German pronunciation: [ˈɡeɔʁk ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈheːɡəl]) (August 27, 1770 – November 14, 1831) was a German philosopher, one of the creators of German Idealism. His historicist and idealist account of the total reality as a whole revolutionized European philosophy and was an important precursor to continental philosophy.

Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, or "system", to account in an integrated and developmental way for the relation of mind and nature, the subject and object of knowledge, and psychology, the state, history, art, religion and philosophy. In particular, he developed a concept of mind or spirit that manifested itself in a set of contradictions and oppositions that it ultimately integrated and united, without eliminating either pole or reducing one to the other. Examples of such contradictions include those between nature and freedom, and between immanence and transcendence.

Hegel influenced writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (Bauer, Brandom, Feuerbach, Marx, Bradley, Dewey, Sartre, Küng, Kojève, Žižek) and his detractors (Schelling, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Peirce, Popper, Russell). His influential conceptions are of speculative logic or "dialectic", "absolute idealism", "Spirit", negativity, sublation (Aufhebung in German), the "Master/Slave" dialectic, "ethical life" and the importance of history.

A. Hegel was the being who couldn't help but give birth to his nemesis.

How would Hegel counter the claim that the actualisation of freedom is only based on the State being truly?
Q. ethical? If someone translates their concept of freedom through the duties expressed by the State in the understanding that the State is ethical, what happens if, in hindsight, the State was not infact truly ethical, and the person's understanding was thus wrong? Would that mean that they weren't actually free? If we apply that theory to us today, does that mean that although we think we are free, we might not be? Just trying to comprehend Hegel's The Philosophy of Right. Any help welcome, thanks in advance (reposted the question because it didnt show up)

A. For Hegel, any state, at any given point in time is merely a historical individual. It is the long run which matters, so to say. He notes, though that the way to freedom is not a straight forward process. any individual action is caused by selfish aims. True freedom, conversely, is not a mere expression of an individual's attitude but only possible through discipline under an organized society under law. The importance of the state depends on its form and level of spirituality it embodies. This is based and expressed in the generally accepted ideas by the people living in this given state. In other words: We might think we are free today (depending on where you live, mind you!), even though we are not. Yet, the process of world history,… [cont.]
