once the form of the spirit has inwardly reconstituted itself, all attempts to preserve the forms of an earlier culture are utterly in vain

we are disposed to regard ourselves as caught up in these particular states and dominated by them

it belongs to the concept of mind that within it the absolute unity of the subjective and objective be not merely in itself, but also for itself, and therefore object of knowledge

But equally it must transcend these its separating determinations and straightway connect them

in any case, any demand for a systematic disposal of such random reflections could only be partially satisfied

The subjective logic is the logic of the ... the subject itself

If we go on to cast a look at the fate of world historical personalities… we shall find it to have been no happy one

logic is concerned only and solely with these thoughts as thoughts

mind is preceded not only by the lgical idea but also by external nature

when thought is an instinctive activity the spirit is caught up in the web of its categories and is splintered into an infinite variety

practical importance cannot be foreseen, one must simply wait and watch for it - Kant

But reason in its truth is spirit which is higher than either merely positive reason, or merely intuitive understanding

The most important point for the nature of spirit is ... the relation of what it knows itself to be to what it actually is

still less shall we say of the notions of things that we dominate them

subjective thought is our very own, innermost, act

the beginning cannot be made with anything concrete, anything containing a relation within itself

In this science of manifested spirit the beginning is made from empirical consciousness - this is immediate knowledge in the strict sense

the objective notion of things constitutes their essential import

intelligence is the power over the stock of images and representations belonging to it, and thus freely combines and subsumes this stock under its own particular content

we must not understand the judgment as a resolving of a concrete unity back into its determinations, as if these had independent subsistence
