In Retrospect: Hegel.

I don’t remember who said it… I think it might have been Durant?

That at the end of your journey through history and philosophy, you’ll find Hegel there waiting for you.

Unfortunately, you cannot, from the reading of hegel, know that he is right.

In retrospect, despite his pseudoscientific language, he was the closest of all.

But I only know that, because of my use of scientific language.
