Hegel's Clock 時鐘--營運感

1. The natural death of the national spirit may take the form of political STAGNATION, or what we call HABIT.

2. The CLOCK is wound up and runs automatically. HABIT is an activity with nothing to OPPOSE ( 對立 ) it; it retains only the formal property of temporal continuity, and the depth and richness of its end no longer be expressed.

3. It is, so to speak, a superficial and sensuous kind of existence whose profounder significance has been FORGOTTEN. Thus both individuals and nations DIE a natural death.

4. And even if the latter live on, the existence is DEVOID of life and interest; their institutions have become superfluous. because the needs which created them have been satisfied, and nothing remains but political STAGNATION and BOREDOM.
