His next thesis is that in man, those natural capacities which are directed to the use of his reason are to be fully developed only in the race, not in the individual. Again, starting with that first supposition that every species has all of its capacities develop to their end, is it possible that within one human lifespan that person can develop all of the rational faculties to their complete end, can develop a complete and thorough rationality?

But on the other hand, one can imagine within a culture a never-ending process of increasing civilization, civility, and cultural expansion, both in breadth and depth and comprehensiveness. So the shortness of the human lifespan precludes the complete evolution of this capacity for reason and rationality demanded by the first thesis within the biological individual.

The next thesis states that nature has willed that man should by himself produce everything that goes beyond the mechanical ordering of his animal existence, and that he should partake of no other happiness or perfection than that which he himself, independently of instinct, has created by his own reason.

At the end of the lecture, I'd like to discuss the influence of theology on Hegel, whether this is theological or anti-theological, arguably the most difficult problem in deciding what to make of his philosophy. A second point that should be made early on in any lecture on Hegel is about thesis, synthesis, and antithesis. Everybody talks about this in every book on Hegel; forget it. I mean, it's there, it occasionally crops up in Hegel's writings, but it is not a dominant element in his work. Triads are dominant.

In other words, three of everything. If Hegel writes about any given thing, he will split it into three parts, and three component parts, and three parts of that, and three parts of that, ad infinitum until he runs out of ink. His typical intellectual move is to break things into three parts, and I guess you can go back and in a pro-Christian way kind of force this into that thesis-antithesis mold, and perhaps that's a fair reading of Hegel, but he doesn't himself explicitly use this thesis-antithesis-synthesis model, or at least not explicitly so.

So I'd say the triads are more important, breaking things up into threes, than the over-emphasis on this thesis-antithesis-synthesis. Now, in order to talk about Hegel, I have to drop back to Kant, as is the case with all of 19th-century German philosophy; they are all standing in the shadow of Kant. The erosion of the Kantian synthesis, the breakup of Kant, and particularly Kant's understanding of the Ding an sich, is the source of the most important and fruitful developments in early 19th-century German philosophy.
