Radical bourgeois philosophy VI. Hegel: Freedom in his tory | Oct. 5\, 2026\n\n"When we look at this drama of human passions\, a nd observe the consequences of their violence and of the unreason that is linked not only to them but also (and especially) to good intentions and rightful aims\; when we see arising from them all the evil\, the wickedn ess\, the decline of the most flourishing nations mankind has produced\, we can only be filled with grief for all that has come to nothing. And si nce this decline and fall is not merely the work of nature but of the wil l of men\, we might well end with moral outrage over such a drama\, and w ith a revolt of our good spirit (if there is a spirit of goodness in us). Without rhetorical exaggeration\, we could paint the most fearful pictur e of the misfortunes suffered by the noblest of nations and states as wel l as by private virtues — and with that picture we could arouse feelings of the deepest and most helpless sadness\, not to be outweighed by any co nsoling outcome. We can strengthen ourselves against this\, or escape it\ , only by thinking that\, well\, so it was at one time\; it is fate\; the re is nothing to be done about it now. And finally — in order to cast off the tediousness that this reflection of sadness could produce in us and to return to involvement in our own life\, to the present of our own aims and interests — we return to the selfishness of standing on a quiet shor e where we can be secure in enjoying the distant sight of confusion and w reckage… But as we contemplate history as this slaughter-bench\, upon whi ch the happiness of nations\, the wisdom of states\, and the virtues of i ndividuals were sacrificed\, the question necessarily comes to mind: What was the ultimate goal for which these monstrous sacrifices were made?… W orld history is the progress in the consciousness of freedom — a progress that we must come to know in its necessity… The Orientals knew only that one person is free\; the Greeks and Romans that some are free\; while we [moderns] know that all humans are implicitly free\, qua human… The fina l goal of the world\, we said\, is Spirit’s consciousness of its freedom\ , and hence also the actualization of that very freedom… It is this final goal — freedom — toward which all the world’s history has been working. It is this goal to which all the sacrifices have been brought upon the br oad altar of the earth in the long flow of time." — Hegel\, Introduction to the Philosophy of History\n\n• G.W.F. Hegel\, Introduction to the Phil osophy of History (1831) [HTML] [PDF pp. 14-128] [Audiobook]\n+ Being and becoming (freedom in transformation) chart of terms\n\nHosted by: Platyp us Affiliated Society\n\nOnline Location: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82937 467788\n\nAdditional Information can be found at: https://volink.utk.edu/ event/12605398 DTEND:20261006T010000Z DTSTAMP:20260929T192327Z DTSTART:20261005T230000Z LOCATION:Online SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Week K.
