It is entirely in Hegel's spirit to claim that the primordial being of the world created lower nature and humankind; at this point, it has decided to leave it to humans to create, in addition to the external world and themselves, thoughts about things. Thus, the primordial being, in union with humans, creates the entire content of the world. Humans are co-creators of being, not idle spectators, not cognizant ruminators of what would exist even without their existence.
