Musings on Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of World History
First, I need to make some space, so that the bullets don't get eaten by my icon.
I think it's a failing of this particular theme.

Hegel says these three things in order (paraphrased):
- In order to study world history philosophically, we must first ensure that we avoid any a priori assumptions about the nature of the world, or the nature of history, as historians are wont to do.
- There is a singular spirit that guides and shapes the history of the world that can be rationally understood through studious applications.
- This singular spirit is guided by divine providence, because the Bible tells us so.
