CHAPTER

Hegel's Philosophy of Freedom

Hegel: Freedom has its own necessities, and those necessities get expressed particularly in the idea of a right. For hegel the idea of arigh is er, what you must will if you are to be free. Hegel thinks a free state must have a clear distinction between civil society and the state. In christianity all are free in the eyes of god, so we do not need slavery. This becomes a secular principle of rights that brings us into modern freedom. Is actually a charge against england too, because people don't belong to any one religious sect or religion.
