Read what has been drawn up particularly by Hegel as a philosophy of history. In libraries, one generally finds the pages of his books still uncut! Not many editions have appeared of Hegel's works. In the eighties of the last century, Eduard von Hartmann[^12] wrote that in all of Germany, where twenty universities exist that have faculties of philosophy, no more than two of the instructors had read Hegel! What he said could not be refuted; it was true. Nonetheless, it hardly needs to be said that all the students were ready to swear to what they had been told about Hegel by professors who had never read him. Do familiarize yourselves with his work and you will find that here, in fact, historical conception has come about, the experience of what goes on between human beings. There you also find the material from which the state, the rights sphere of the threefold social organism, has to be created. We can learn about the constitution of the spiritual organism from the Orient; the constitution of the economic sphere is to be learned from the West.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VII","site_heading":"Eastern Spirituality, Western Economics, and Central European Rights","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Unwidersprochen konnte es bleiben, denn es war wahr; trotzdem haben selbstverständlich alle Schüler geschworen auf das, was ihnen ihre, den Hegel nicht gelesen habenden Professoren über Hegel gesagt haben. Aber machen Sie sich mit dem bekannt, so werden Sie sehen, daß da in der Tat Geschichtsauffassung zustande gekommen ist, das Erleben dessen, was sich zwischen Mensch und Mensch abspielt.
