| German philosopher Hegel 1770 to 27 August 1831 |
Death is the highest act of love for God Heine said that in terms of destruction and severe consequences, Robespierre can rival Kant; in terms of the wild will and lofty ambition, Napoleon can stand alongside Fichte; and in terms of fully inheriting the spiritual cause of mankind, Fully expressing the fundamental changes at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, no Frenchman can speak like Hegel. Engels also once said that Hegel "is not only a creative genius but also a learned figure, so he has played an epoch-making role in every field." George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), a famous German classical philosopher in the 19th century, a master of objective idealism, a master of dialectics, and a knowledgeable scholar. Hegel is a late bloomer, he spent 15 years climbing the peak of philosophy, and then his philosophy surpassed Schelling's philosophy. He has written works throughout his life, and in the field of knowledge, he can be said to be a giant standing tall. On August 27, 1770, Georg Ludwig Hegel, secretary of the Stuttgart Tax Office, welcomed his son. This civil family was filled with a strong festive atmosphere. This newborn who brought joy to the whole family was George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel who became a famous German thinker decades later. In Germany, civil servants are not aristocrats, but civilians who depend on others. The oppression of bureaucracy makes their desire and enthusiasm for freedom disappear. Hegel’s father was a clerk of the tax bureau. He was just an ordinary man who worked hard for cash income, but because of his rich family, he maintained a good relationship with the ruler, and he served in the government for several generations. , Therefore, live a life higher than that of common people. Hegel's fathers therefore regarded themselves as gentlemen. Every member of this gentleman's family is cautiously living a life of duty that is content with the status quo. They are not as arrogant and rude as the aristocratic class, nor are they hostile to the ruler like the lower class, but live in a way of behavior unique to their class, that is, strictly self-denial and careful in words and deeds. This family environment determines the young Hegel's way of behaving in the world. The young Hegel was not a talented person, because he was always sick and grew very thin, and his drooping eyelids made people feel like he was depressed. Compared with those energetic children, he always seems a little dazed. No one thinks that this kid has any talent, let alone that he will become a famous thinker. Hegel was very weak when he was a child. He had been attacked by several serious illnesses and almost died, but he finally survived. He had smallpox when he was young, and his eyes were blind for several days. Doctors thought he would die, but he miraculously survived. When Hegel was 13 years old, severe biliary dysentery was also prevalent in Stuttgart. And biliary fever, their whole family was infected, and Hegel's mother died as a result. Hegel was also very sick. He already had tonsil gland swelling symptoms. People doubted whether he could survive. Soon after he recovered from his illness, he developed a malignant boil behind his ears. For this reason, another painful operation was performed. The days passing by the god of death had a great impact on his life. The problem of death has always been with Hegel's life, and it also occupies a very important position in his philosophy. He entered the Latin School first and then the Tübingen Theological Seminary. However, for the study of theology, he was very mediocre, but he was more interested in the changes of the world. During Hegel's school days, many things happened. France proclaimed the "rule of reason", and every liberal in Europe smelled the breath of revolution. They cheered enthusiastically for freedom, equality, and fraternity. In October 1793, Hegel graduated from Tübingen Theological Seminary and obtained the consent of the church authorities to seek a career by bypassing the church system, but he promised to continue to study theology, report on his studies, and be called to the priesthood at any time. The path of Tübingen theologians is usually from the seminary and candidates through the agency to the priesthood. But such a goal is not attractive to Hegel. Because of his philosophical way of thinking, he lacks the passion of the pastor and lacks the eloquence of the pastor. He is a "very bad speaker", so Hegel Give up theology and choose philosophy. He decided to teach for a living. After a few years, he worked very hard, but his living conditions hardly changed. The most rewarded was his love for Greek literature and Kant's philosophy. The biggest difficulty was the embarrassment of material life. On the night of January 14, 1799, Hegel's father died peacefully, which made Hegel very sad. This is the second blow he has suffered in Frankfurt. The misfortune of his friends and the death of his father have cast a sad shadow over Hegel's time in Frankfurt. Although his father's departure made him extremely sad, he also shared his father's inheritance and could live in seclusion like a hermit to live the life he wanted.
