#5> Thus, not only was Hegel’s system grandiose metaphysics, it was grandiose theology as well.
Modern theology is a lot more fun than the stuff they worked with in Aquinas' time. Dangerous, too.
> And last, the obscurity of Hegel’s writing made rejecting Hegelian philosophy all the easier. After all, who could tell what he was actually saying?
But then interpreting the prophet is probably a more secure job ...

On the other hand, Schopenhauer (as anti-Hegel as they come) hit quite a few good points writing clear and elegant prose, even tossing out witty essays as a sort of topping.

Hegel's views on education seem to mirror policy (almost 1:1) in the U.S. Perhaps, if only because the Prussian education system was imported into our culture, by our Founding Robber Baron fathers.
Unfortunately, It'll be hard to go against his views, since they've been baked into almost every child's subconscious as "this is just how life is."

Interesting. Could you give an example of education policy that can be traced to Hegel's views?
