He seeks to have such thoughts in the soul, such a developing reason, as if the world spirit itself were made to speak in the soul. But Hegel remains one-sided. For him, this world spirit does not appear as the one [that in all activity, at one time imparts the essence of the activity of the one being and at another time, in another activity, reveals a different essence.] In Hegel this world spirit appears as the great logician, who alone unfolds the details of the world's reason, and the world's reason becomes the only all-existing. But to present this single thing in its characteristic before the world, to incorporate this nuance into the world view of German idealism, this mistake of a great virtue, this one-sidedness, was necessary to grasp the thought in its highest degree: Man, when he plunges into his inner self, can depart from his ego to such an extent that he is so powerfully active in his ego that he extinguishes this ego itself, so that the world spirit may shine forth in him! In order to grasp this thought with the greatest intensity, it had to be grasped in this one-sided way. For in the search for truth, it is the power of comprehension that matters most to us, and not that the world spirit itself be conceived like a mere logician.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Um aber dieses Einzige in seiner Charakteristik vor die Welt hinzustellen, um diese Nuance dem Weltbild des Deutschen Idealismus einzugliedern, dazu war wiederum dieser Fehler einer großen Tugend, diese Einseitigkeit notwendig, um einmal den Gedanken in seinem höchsten Grade zu erfassen: Der Mensch kann, wenn er sich in sein Inneres versenkt, von seinem Ich abkommen, dass er in seinem Ich so stark tätig ist, dass er dieses Ich selber auslöscht, damit der Weltengeist in ihm aufleuchten kann!
