§ 24 The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs;
their passions; their characters and talents。
§ 25 Aims; principles; &c。; have a place in our thoughts; but not yet in the sphere of reality。
§ 26 Nothing great in the World has been acplished without passion。
§ 27 A State is powerful; when the private interest of its citizens is one with the mon interest。
§ 28 The universal Idea exists as the substantial totality of things; and as the abstract essence of
free volition。
§ 29 The passions of men are gratified and build up the edifice of human society; for Right and
Order。
§ 30 The agents aims are limited but the agents themselves are intelligent thinking beings。
§ 31 History has to do with those momentous collisions between existing; acknowledged duties;
laws; and rights。
§ 32 The particular aims of great historical men involve those large issues which are the will of the
World…Spirit。。
§ 33 Such individuals had no consciousness of the Idea they were unfolding; but were practical;
political men。
§ 34 They are great men; because they acplished the needs of the age。
§ 35 A World…historical individual is devoted to the One Aim。
§ 36 It is not the Idea that is exposed to danger。 It remains in the background; untouched and
uninjured。 This may be called the cunning of reason。
§ 37 When speaking of the realisation of great ideals by individuals; the subjective element in
them has an infinite right to be consulted。。
§ 38 We must not fall into the Litany of Lamentations; that the good and pious often fare ill in the
world。
§ 39 The means which the World…Spirit uses for realising its Idea involves the activity of personal
existences in whom Reason is present; but still obscure and unknown to them。
___(3) The Embodiment Spirit Assumes — the State
§ 40 What is the material in which the Ideal of Reason is wrought out? … Personality itself … human
desires … Subjectivity generally。
§ 41 The Idea is the inner spring of action; the State is the actually; existing; realised moral life。
§ 42 The first error is that man is free by nature; but that in society; he must limit this natural
freedom。
§ 43 Freedom does not exist as original and natural — it must be first sought out and won。
§ 44 The patriarchal condition is one of transition; its unity not advancing beyond the merely
natural。
§ 45 No law can be valid without the approval of all。
