- W2604817727 abstract "Almost 200 years ago, in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel coined the concept of the List der Vernunft, usually translated as “Cunning of Reason.” Hegel believed that the idea of Reason unfolded itself in history through the deeds of larger-than-life characters like Alexander the Great, Caesar, or Napoleon. This process was a messy one, and the protagonists who realized Reason in history did not do so on purpose, adopting ideals and a way of life that could be characterized as by any means reasonable. On the contrary, their motivations were low, compulsive, and without restraint, including greed, envy, fanaticism, pride, ambition, vanity, and megalomania. Yet through these self-seeking passions, history was able to realize itself according to its rational design, making the men who are driven by it into its instruments and tools that may destroy old structures that have ceased to be useful but that are themselves also worn down and used up in the process: gear to be discarded after they had ceased to be useful. “This may be called the cunning of Reason—that it sets the passions to work for itself, while that through which it develops itself pays the penalty and suffers the loss.”1" @default.
