For their philosophic sense, we must presuppose intelligence enough to know, not only that God is actual, that He is the supreme actuality, that He alone is truly actual; but also, as regards the logical bearings of the question, that existence is in part mere appearance, and only in part actuality.
The sciences postulate their respective objects, such as space, number, or whatever it be; and it might be supposed that philosophy had also to postulate the existence of thought.
The notion of science -- the notion therefore with which we start -- which, for the very reason that it is initial, implies a separation between the thought which is our object, and the subject philosophising which is, as it were, external to the former, must be grasped and comprehended by the science itself.

Among the causes of this exaggerated vogue are the impulse given by the Schools of Cousin and of Hegel, the progress of historical studies in general, the confusion arising from the clash of rival doctrines, and the distrust engendered by that confusion.
On the other hand, by defining their respective limits, the sciences have acquired autonomy; useful in the Middle Ages only as a preparation for rational physics and for metaphysics, they are nowadays of value for themselves, and no longer play the part of handmaids to philosophy.
To say nothing of the fact that all those who applied themselves to science and philosophy in the Middle Ages were churchmen, and that the liberal arts found an asylum in capitular and monastic schools until the twelfth century, it is important to remark that the principal universities of the Middle Ages were pontifical foundations.

Hegel was the creator of a philosophical system that influenced the development of Existentialism and Marxism.
He studied theology at Tubingen, and in 1801 edited with the philosopher Schelling the 'Critical Journal of Philosophy', in which he outlined his system with its emphasis on reason rather than the Romantic intution of Schelling, which he attacked in his first major work 'The Phenomenology of the Mind'.
He then published his 'Science of Logic' and the 'Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences' in which he explained his threesome system of logic, philosophy of nature, and mind.

 Island of Freedom - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
He was an idealist philosopher who has influenced many areas of modern philosophy; his strongest influence was on Karl Marx, and he had a negative influence on Søren Kierkegaard, whose rebellion against his objective systematizing began the school of existentialism.

Art is the sensuous expression of creative Spirit and is a rational process, and the philosopher can study art for the representation of reality that it really is. The philosopher can study religion and see that it is the highest nonrational manifestation of the Mind.

He was a major influence on subsequent idealist thinkers and on such philosophers as Kiekegaard and Sartre; perhaps his most far-reaching effect was his influence on Karl Marx, who substituted materialism for idealism in his formulation of dialectical materialism.
