Hegel's Philosophy of History

In Hegel's time, because he thought he was at the accumulation of history, everybody is free. The process of making the bird disappear is in fact killing the bird. What happened afterwards, what happens when the prestige doesn't bring back the dead bird? History doesn't resolve the past. It takes it to a different stage. We can inflict on another and he calls somewhere, he calls history the slaughter bench of history. So he's not dewy eyed. No, that's the thing. There is some sort of like Nietzsche and harmonious universe or Theodisy where everything gets redeemed in the end. But he's not the bird. He's not just into freedom as self determination
