The Absolute Idealism of Hegel

The Germans have a great word for all of this, the word Geist. And like all German words, it doesn't translate that readily into English. Because what it's trying to pick up on are these living systems of patterns of intelligibility by which we ultimately make sense. Given this argument against an unknowable reality being a reality, then the patterns by making sense are identical to the patterns by which reality iselligibly structured. So, this is an individual idealism. This is what's going to become known as absolute idealism.
