21984	We must break up the rigidity that our understanding has imposed [Hegel]
	Full Idea: The battle of reason is the struggle to break up the rigidity to which the understanding has reduced everything.
	From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Logic (Encyclopedia I) [1817], I §80Z p.115), quoted by A.W. Moore - The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics 07.7
	A reaction: This sounds like a combination of Nietzsche and later Wittgenstein, and may be one of the ideas that launches 'continental' philosophy. Recent French thinkers talk continually of 'liberation'.
