Abstract
In this paper I intend to deal, if only schematically, with one of the central concepts in Hegel's philosophy-the concept of the World Spiritor, as he sometimes named it with becoming modesty, simply Spirit. My aim here is to give, not so much an explication of Hegel, as an interpretation of him. In Hegel's conception of philosophy the locus of philosophy, its object of knowledge, is the whole. Some wholes, some complex entities, are more inclusive than others. This leads one to the idea of an absolute whole. The point of view of philosophy is this widest possible context. How could such a thing be known? What is it to know the whole philosophically? The answer is that such knowing is by dialectic.
