know Dialectics ! ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel born this day 250 years ago !!

On the day before the battle, Napoleon entered the city of Jena. He recounted his impressions in a letter to his friend Friedrich Immanuel Niethammer: I saw the Emperor—this world-soul [Weltseele]—riding out of the city on reconnaissance. It is indeed a wonderful sensation to see such an individual, who, concentrated here at a single point, astride a horse, reaches out over the world and masters it.  ~  the post is on a man, a great philosopher born this day – 250 years ago !
