Reason and Faith Are Intertwined

Hegel argues that Christianity is paramount among world religions, particularly towards the end of the Enlightenment era, where attacks on religion are rampant. He emphasizes the importance of using reason rather than blind faith, yet points out that the Enlightenment itself is underpinned by a form of faith. While the Enlightenment posits that God is merely a mental construct, it overlooks that both reason and perception are products of human subjectivity. Thus, all understanding, whether through reason or belief, is rooted in human concepts and interpretations.
