Friedrich Hegel

QUOTE: “Although requital cannot simply be made specifically equal
to the crime, the case is otherwise with murder, which is of necessity liable
to the death penalty; the reason is that since life is the full compass of a
man’s existence, the punishment here cannot simply consist in a ‘value’, for
none is great enough, but can consist only in taking away a second life.”
AUTHOR: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
(German: [ˈɡeɔɐ̯k ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈheːɡəl]; August 27, 1770 – November 14,
1831) was a German philosopher, and a major figure in German Idealism. His
historicist and idealist account of reality revolutionized European philosophy
and was an important precursor to Continental philosophy and Marxism. Hegel
developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, or "system", of
Absolute idealism to account in an integrated and developmental way for the
relation of mind and nature, the subject and object of knowledge, psychology,
the state, history, art, religion, and philosophy. In particular, he developed
the concept that mind or spirit manifested itself in a set of contradictions
and oppositions that it ultimately integrated and united, without eliminating
either pole or reducing one to the other. Examples of such contradictions
include those between nature and freedom, and between immanence and
transcendence.
