It turns out that the evolution of Hegel’s thought from his youth to maturity provides a kind of parallel to our problem. Young Hegel was looking for a religion, we may say an ideological form, which would reconcile modern individualism with the fine harmony of community as found in the Greek polis. Later he came to construct a philosophy that produces this reconciliation by means of levels of reality, which it originates hierarchically, ascending from subjective spirit to objective spirit (institutions), and from this to absolute spirit (religion, art, philosophy). The latter two levels broadly correspond to the two poles of Troeltsch’s formulations. Still, Hegel knew very well that, as distinct from his youthful dream, this philosophy offered reconciliation only for the benefit of educated people, in other words within ‘Bildung’. There is something aristocratic, or elitist as we would say today, in the result, just as there is, after all, in Troelsch’s presentation: everything indicates that the common man must be content with self-dedication while individualistic culture will be the privilege of the few . . . .
