Hegel's Principles of Morality

We are constantly in a state of change, to hegel. It is inevitable that there are things all around us right now that are going to appear barbaric to generations down the line. Most of us just can't see them because, you know, much like the slave owner, it's socially acceptable to believe this. So why question it? This is the connection of total self knowledge with freedom. To be totally free, it's not enough to let allow this process of constant change to dictate everything we do and then never question it. We need to understand this process of historical change, understand that we exist in a constantly moving target.
