Geez. He was 35\36 and his best bud had been publishing philosophical monuments from his earliest 20's. Also, he had gotten some bitch pregnant and Napoleon was bearing down on Jena.. Fuck! He had to do something!

Arguably. Hamann was a demon but as teeny as Pope-- a kind of impossibly wrought De Maistre whom even Goethe, a total Chad, venerated...

So yes. Hegel for a momentous philosophical moment became (for all time) German Philosophy's //ONE// God-tier Chad.
