In another place (in his book *Riddles of Philosophy*) the present author attempted to show the view one can attain about Hegel when one fixes one's eye on his work as a stage in the philosophical evolution of mankind. Here this author would like to speak only of what comes to expression through Hegel as one of the strengths of German idealism in world views. This is trust in the carrying power of thinking. Every page in Hegel's works strengthens this trust which finally culminates in the conviction: When the human being fully understands what he has in his thinking, then he also knows that he can attain entry into a supersensible spiritual world. Through Hegel, German idealism has accomplished the affirmation of the supersensible nature of thinking. And one can have the feeling that Hegel's strengths, and also his weaknesses, are connected with the fact that one time in the course of the world a personality had to stand there for whom all life and work are ensouled by this affirmation. Then one sees in Hegel's world view a source from which to draw what can be gained from this affirmation in the way of strength for life, without perhaps accepting the content of the Hegelian world view in anyone point.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"German Idealism as the Beholding of Thoughts: Hegel","site_heading":null,"date":null,"location":null,"word_count":235,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/20/c02-03/p011","alignment_confidence":"low","alignment_reason":"no_original_to_compare","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":null,"edition_coverage":{"de":["original"],"en":["MP1990"]},"available_versions":[{"lang":"en","edition":"MP1990","edition_basis":null,"is_original":false,"is_default_edition":true,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/20/c02-03/p011","paragraph_aligned":true}],"german_anchor":{"de_prefix":"der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel","de_passages":[{"locus":"GA 20/der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel/p010","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/20/der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel/p010"},{"locus":"GA 20/der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel/p011","url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/20/der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel/p011"}],"bead_confidence":"high","pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["reader"],"reader_german":["GA 20/der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel/p010","GA 20/der_deutsche_idealismus_als_gedankenanschauung_hegel/p011"],"length_check":{"de_words":225,"en_words":235,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"correspondence":"established","note":"English passage numbering is edition-relative, so the same number need not name the same paragraph in the German.

Hier möchte er nur von dem sprechen, was durch Hegel als eine der Kräfte des deutschen Idealismus in der Weltanschauung zum Ausdrucke kommt. Es ist dies das Vertrauen in die tragende Macht des Denkens. Jede Seite in Hegels Werken ist eine Bekräftigung dieses Vertrauens, das zuletzt in der Überzeugung gipfelt: Wenn der Mensch völlig versteht, was er in seinem Denken hat, so weiß er auch, daß er den Zugang zu einer übersinnlich-geistigen Welt gewinnen kann. Der deutsche Idealismus hat durch Hegel das Bekenntnis zu der übersinnlichen Wesenheit des Denkens abgelegt.
