The Effort of the Concept

“Worauf es deswegen bei dem Studium der Wissenschaft ankommt, ist die Anstrengung des Begriffs auf sich zu nehmen.” What matters in the study of science is to take on the effort of the concept. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel wrote this in the preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit, published in 1807. In the same preface he wrote “Das Wahre ist das Ganze,” the true is the whole. He also described impatience, which demands the impossible: “die Erreichung des Ziels ohne die Mittel,” reaching the goal without the means.
