The result is that if you read Hegel people will think you're really deep. Despite this, Hegel actually had some very influential concepts with remain with us to this day. Central to this is the idea that logic is the ultimate reality and that logic is not a complicated system but an endlessly repeating pattern in which there is a mode of thesis, which is challenged by the contra-positive or antithesis, resulting in a synthesis.
Our legal system is largely based on this model. The Prosecution provides a thesis, the defense and antithesis, and a jury yields a synthesis via verdict.
Hegel believed that the synthesis would become the new thesis and would undergo complete refinement until only the metaphysical kernel of truth was left.
This, again is what happens with our legal system. A Jury's verdict is a synthesis of the cases presented, which becomes a cause of appeal and a counter-thesis is presented, synthesizing a new verdict, which is itself appealed until the Supreme Court renders a metaphysical point of law on the matter.
Given that this is just one of the many examples where the Hegelian dialectic has become imprinted on our society, finding the more lucid passages cannot help but be of assistance.
