About This Quote

Hegel, in his book The Phenomenology of Spirit, defines self-consciousness. He says that self-consciousness is the ability to form abstract ideas. This means that the more drunk he gets, the more Hegel tries to express himself through abstract ideas. This is what makes him an impetuous Hegel, drunk with power.

He’s no longer just a Hegelian philosopher, but a Hegelian philosopher who’s drunk with power. With so much self-consciousness, he’s an impetuous Hegel, drunk with power.
