Tubingen Theological Seminary is an ancient college, which was founded in16th century. The lifestyle here is monastic, and students are as strict as monks. They must get up early every day and pray early; There are strict rules for class, self-study and even walking.
When he first entered the theological seminary, Hegel still maintained the reading habit of middle school. He doesn't want to take part in sports activities stipulated by the college, such as fencing and horseback riding, but he is willing to hide and read alone.
When college students became familiar with life, Hegel gradually let go. Under the influence of his classmates, he grew tired of strict control. Soon he went to the other extreme. What a student does, he does. In a short time, he learned to smoke snuff, drink and play cards. So, under the influence of his classmates, Hegel began to indulge himself.
In his indulgent life, Hegel seems to be a different person. The indulgence of life, although beneficial to Hegel's good relationship with his classmates and his youthful vitality, has affected his study. Two months after entering school, when the college asked students to write papers, he didn't really spend some time thinking and consulting materials like he did in middle school to conceive a paper corresponding to college students' education, but used an article written in middle school a few months ago to make up the numbers. In the indulgence of play, Hegel's enthusiasm for learning decreased obviously. At this rate, I believe Hegel will not become a thinker. It's a good thing Hegel didn't deteriorate. Otherwise, the master of dialectics is not him, but someone else.
Hegel was the one who put forward and used the concept of "reflection" earlier. After a period of indulgence, I don't know what stimulated Hegel to reflect on what he had done since he entered the university. After reflection, he found that smoking, drinking, playing cards and having fun, although he was happy for a while, there was nothing after happiness, which could not give people any knowledge, let alone any inspiration. After playing, people's minds are empty. He suddenly woke up from meditation. Isn't this a waste of time and years? Through reflection, he realized his fault and realized that this indulgence was a waste of himself for a student.
Knowing how to reflect is the expression of rationality, and reflection makes people more rational. Hegel looked back on his experience of indulging in reflection. He lost his way and corrected himself immediately when he realized his mistake. He returned to his all-out research. When Hegel regained his interest in learning, his thinking was much deeper than that in middle school. At this time, Hegel began to think independently about social history, philosophy and logic instead of simply memorizing knowledge.
After graduating from college, if you choose theology, you can get a position with higher income and stable life. Hegel, who advocates theoretical thinking and is obsessed with philosophical dialectical thinking, is unwilling to play the role of a priest. In order to study and survive, he would rather be a tutor.
1793 In September, Hegel walked out of the university where he studied for five years, stepped into the society, and embarked on the road of studying philosophical problems while being a tutor. During his tenure as a tutor, he must have written more than 10 works that laid his own philosophical system, and he is qualified to teach philosophy. 1705, graduated from Hegel University 12 years later, because of his rich works and profound thoughts, he obtained the position of university lecturer. He went back to college. This thoughtful philosopher (jǐn), after three years as a university lecturer, was appointed as the president of the liberal arts middle school in Nuremberg. After being president of 10, he returned to the university again and was appointed as a professor at the University of Berlin by the King of Prussia. After being a university professor for 1 1 years, Hegel, who was about to turn 60, was elected as the president of Berlin University.
