Abstract

Although hegel's concept of spirit can sound like a purely metaphysical concept, more simply it is the ultimate force of our wills. hegel believes that the wills of individuals, (which are inherently free wills,) that make up a nation are a kind of collective consciousness, which has an ultimate destiny. That ultimate destiny is freedom. hegel also believes that the ultimate destiny of the human race is to realize the freedom that is already present in their wills. This process of realizing one's freedom is the work of spirit.
