1. Philosophy / A. Wisdom / 1. Nature of Wisdom

21979	Wisdom emerges at the end of a process [Hegel]
	Full Idea: The Owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of dusk.
	From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Elements of the Philosophy of Right [1821], Pref p.13), quoted by A.W. Moore - The Evolution of Modern Metaphysics 07.4
	A reaction: Hegel explains that this means that wisdom is the product of historical maturity, as the ideal emerges, and illuminates what is real. I think.

1. Philosophy / D. Nature of Philosophy / 3. Philosophy Defined

22766	Philosophy is exploration of the rational [Hegel]
	Full Idea: Philosophy is exploration of the rational.
	From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Elements of the Philosophy of Right [1821], Pref)
	A reaction: The only problem is that Hegel (like the Stoics) thought that nature is rational all the way down, so philosophy becomes the study of everything.
