Notes
Phenomenology of Spirit, [A.W. Miller, (trans.), Oxford University Press] paragraph 652.
Though not mentioned as such in Hegel’s extended development of his own holistic system.
Philosophical Investigations §95. Frege endorses essentially the same point when he says (in “The Thought”) that “a fact is a thought that is true.”
The earlier appreciation of Hegel’s work in Germany has resulted in a fine initial treatment of this topic, by Michael Quante already translated into English, [Quante, Michael, Hegel's Concept of Action, translated by Dean Moyar, Cambridge University Press, 2004, 216 pp].
He says of his undertaking: “To compose the Quixote at the beginning of the seventeenth century was a reasonable undertaking, necessary and perhaps even unavoidable; at the beginning of the twentieth, it is almost impossible. It is not in vain that three hundred years have gone by, filled with exceedingly complex events. Amongst them, to mention only one, is the Quixote itself.”
