Abstract

In the place of the traditional sequence ascending from culture (acquisition) to philosophy (reflection), and then to wisdom (meditation) — where the progressive internalisation of exteriority is valued — Hegel substitutes a different path (also geographical-historical). This path leads from (oriental) wisdom, in which the spirit originally gathers itself into its solitary emptiness, on through (Greek) culture, which gives it form as determined through the exchange of diverse collective modalities of world mastery, to philosophy, in its germanic completion. The differentiated identity of philosophy in its Germanic conclusion (systematic at last) accomplishes the interiority of wisdom found within cultural alienation, by going beyond both, as does real life.
