This comment is brilliant. To those who consider Hegel important it says one thing. To those who can't stomach him it says another. Those who have never heard of Hegel will also be partitioned, into those who go to wikipedia and get confused, and those who take it as more support for their feeling that big words aren't so bad.

Based on your comment, I went to the Simple English wikipedia page for Hegel just for laughs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Wilhelm_Friedrich_Hegel

"Hegel's principal achievement is his development of a distinctive articulation of idealism sometimes termed "absolute idealism,"[8] in which the dualisms of, for instance, mind and nature and subject and object are overcome. His philosophy of spirit conceptually integrates psychology, the state, history, art, religion, and philosophy..."

"He started Hegelianism and is a part of German Idealism. He influenced many writers and philosophers, including those who agreed with him (Bradley, Sartre, Küng, Bauer, Stirner, Marx), and those who did not agree with him (Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Schelling). Hegel's books are difficult to read and deal with many different ideas at the same time. He has written about history, politics, religion, art, logic and metaphysics."
