THE raison d'être to Böhme and Hegel

"The result of Hegel's project was to have been, he hoped, a return to a more 'natural' consciousness, like that possessed by the Greeks, but in a form that is fully modern and self-aware (to say nothing of being Protestant and Lutheran). Just as in Böhme, man's fall is necessary because his original unity with God and with his own true nature is an unthinking unity. We must be brought back to unity, but this time the unity must be achieved in full self-consciousness."

-- Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition, Glenn Alexander Magee, 2001, p. 87.
