Deep dives
Hegelian philosophy and the pursuit of utopia
Hegel's philosophy, rooted in the idea that God needs creation to know himself, forms the foundation of the pursuit of utopia. According to Hegel, God emanates a projection of himself through creation, and as creation evolves, so does God. This belief in the perfecting of humanity and the world has influenced movements like Marxism, which seeks a revolution against the oppressors to bring about a celestial kingdom on earth.
