22. Metaethics / C. The Good / 2. Happiness / a. Nature of happiness

23274	World history has no room for happiness [Hegel]
	Full Idea: World history is not the place for happiness. Periods of happiness are empty pages in history.
	From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Introduction to the Philosophy of History [1840], 3)
	A reaction: Clearly, Hegel thinks the progress of world history is much more important than happiness. This idea gives backing to those who don't care much about the casualties on either side in a major war.
