Friedrich Georg: 78 books

Bilder haben das Potenzial, anregend zu sein. Darum sind sie eine Bereicherung auch für Gottesdienst und Predigt. Leicht ist der homiletische Umgang mit ihnen jedoch nicht. Da bedarf es der Anleitung. Oder besser: vieler verschiedener Beispiele. In dem von Hans Georg Ulrichs herausgegebenen Band...

Herausragende Ereignisse in der Geschichte stehen oft für einen Bruch oder einen sich vollziehenden Wandel. Manchmal vereinen sie auch wie in einem Brennglas typische Elemente einer Epoche und bezeichen so deren Höhepunkt. Wie sieht es damit im (europäischen) Mittelalter aus? Was sind in diesen...

Was ist ein gutes Leben? Was macht mein Leben einfacher, ohne es einzuschränken? Was tut mir gut, aber gleichzeitig auch anderen? Es sind bestimmte Werte, die sich in einer Einstellung, aber auch im Verhalten, im Tun ausdrücken. Welche das sein könnten, zeigt dieses Buch mit Themen wie Achtsamkeit...

Nel 1817 Friedrich Hegel scrive nella Filosofia dello spirito: “l’autocoscienza è, innanzitutto, desiderio”. Quest’opera, qui proposta al lettore attraverso alcuni estratti, descrive infatti come dal desiderio, eminentemente intersoggettivo, scatti il riconoscimento che porta all’autocoscienza...

In this externality the determinations of the concept have the appearance of an indifferent subsistence and isolation in regards to each other. The concept therefore exists as an inward entity. Hence nature exhibits no freedom in its existence, but only necessity and contingency. For this reason nature,...

Of the first kind, the mention of one or two distinguished names will furnish a definite type. To this category belong Herodotus, Thucydides, and other historians of the same order, whose descriptions are for the most part limited to deeds, events, and states of society, which they had before their eyes,...

'The condemnation,' says Hegel, 'which a great man lays upon the world, is to force it to explain him.' The greatness of Hegel, if it be measured by this standard, must be something far above common. Interpreters of his system have contradicted each other, almost as variously as the several commentators...

The objective Mind is the absolute Idea, but only existing in posse: and as it is thus on the territory of finitude, its actual rationality retains the aspect of external apparency. The free will finds itself immediately confronted by differences which arise from the circumstance that freedom is its...

In the case of a philosophical work it seems not only superfluous, but, in view of the nature of philosophy, even inappropriate and misleading to begin, as writers usually do in a preface, by explaining the end the author had in mind, the circumstances which gave rise to the work, and the relation in...

German philosopher, one of the creators of German Idealism, and along with Immanuel Kant, one of the most influential philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment. Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, or "system", to account in an integrated and developmental way for the...

The complete transformation which philosophical thought in Germany has undergone in the last twenty-five years and the higher standpoint reached by spirit in its awareness of itself, have had but little influence as yet on the structure of logic. That which, prior to this period, was called metaphysics...

Philosophy misses an advantage enjoyed by the other sciences. It cannot like them rest the existence of its objects on the natural admissions of consciousness, nor can it assume that its method of cognition, either for starting or for continuing, is one already accepted. The objects of philosophy, it...

Schau' aus dem trüben Erdgewimmel Empor in deinen lichten Himmel, Schau' auf zu Gottes Lieb' und Macht: Er ist dein Gott, er hält die Wacht Wenn wir uns zu Gott wenden oder ein Dankesgebet sprechen, vertrauen wir darauf, dass Gott unser Bitten erhört. Der Glaube daran, dass er unser Gebet...

The knowledge of Mind is the highest and hardest, just because it is the most ‘concrete’ of sciences. The significance of that ‘absolute’ commandment, Know thyself — whether we look at it in itself or under the historical circumstances of its first utterance — is not to promote mere self-knowledge...
