Jerry Z. Muller Quotes

It Is All Very Well To Have Some Internal Sense Of Oneself As An Individual, But That Sense Must Correspond To An External Reality. Part Of That External Reality Is Property. The Fact That Something Belongs To Me And Not To Everyone Increases My Sense Of Myself As Someone In Particular. For Hegel That Sense Of Individual Particularity Is Intrinsic To The Modern Moral Order. Indeed "the Right Of The Subject's Particularity To Find Satisfaction, Or
to Put It Differently
the Right Of Subjective Freedom, Is The Pivotal And Focal Point In The Difference Between Antiquity And The Modern Age." The Fact That Others Do Not Take My Property
that They Regard It As Mine
is Also A Way In Which They Recognize Me As An Individual. It Is Precisely This Recognition That The Slave, The Bondsman, And The Serf Lack. That The Right To Own Private Property, To Control Some Corner Of The World, Is Universal In The Modern State Is For Hegel Part Of Its Glory. (p. 155)
