Abstract
Hegel can be grasped only when taken as a whole. What is more, he can speak to us only given our full understanding of the historical coordinates of his time, of the past upon which he constructed, and of the ideals which he regarded as adequate to the reality of the actual world-historical process. Each detail of his work illuminates therefore the fundamental position of his entire system, yet not each detail in the empirical sense, because in such details mistakes and errors are inevitable; but rather each detail in the sense of a moment of a philosophical, thoughtful effort, which becomes conceivable only like the stone from a mosaic after the completion of the overall design.
