Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the word wilhelm:

    Whatever happens, every individual is a child of his time; so philosophy too is its own time apprehended in thoughts. It is just as absurd to fancy that a philosophy can transcend its contemporary world as it is to fancy that an individual can overleap his own age, jump over Rhodes.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    Education is the art of making man ethical.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to one another. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
