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 | |
