“Philosophy is its own time comprehended in thoughts.”
— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Simplified Meaning:
Philosophy helps us understand our own time and era by thinking about it deeply. Imagine living in a big city 100 years ago. The way people thought, acted, and lived was very different from how we do today. Philosophers of that time tried to make sense of what was happening around them, like the rise of factories or new political ideas. By thinking carefully about those changes and writing about them, they helped people understand the world better. Today, philosophers do the same thing with our current world. They think about modern issues like technology, climate change, or social justice. By doing this, philosophy helps us see our own time more clearly and understand the big picture of our lives.
