Heglatonism

this cynical view makes life impossible for the children of the Skeptics, yet the temporary truth of skepticism is undeniable. So they take skepticism one step further, and reject the world not only in word but in deed. They develop the UNHAPPY SELF CONSCIOUSNESS, which is Hegel's term for a complex of attitudes. They first retreat from the world entirely, like a monk or an ascetic. They abandon the whole world for prayer, if they believe, or for desperate meditation, if they don't. In any case, the reward is the same. If they attain nothing else from years of ascetic exercise, they attain the joy of having developed their will into an iron will. They attain the truth of Free Will, and see it clearer than anyone else.

7. Free Will suggests the power of the mind and ideas, so IDEALIST CONSCIOUSNESS emerges. Idealism, in contrast to mastery, servitude and asceticism, which all reduce the world to a specific idea, makes ideas themselves, all ideas, into the real.
