Hegel's Dialectic: A Process of Self-Development

Hegel proposes that in the history of dialectic, we can get to a stage where the system of understanding and realization becomes aware of itself. And there's hubris in Hegel here, right? Because what he's basically saying is his philosophy is the philosophy in which this process of Geist and realization has become reflectively aware of it. When you get that, then you have what he calls absolute spirit, absolute Geist. There's this telos, there's this goal in this whole process. All of history is moving, and of course he now sees himself as the discoverer of this, but all of history ismoving to this moment of absolute idealism.
