“Only that which is completely determined is at the same time exoteric, graspable, and capable of being learned and becoming the property of all. The understanding of science is the path to it offered to everyone and made equal for all; and to attain reasonable knowledge through the understanding is the legitimate demand of consciousness that joins with science; for the understanding is thinking, the pure ‘I’ as such; and understanding is what is already familiar and common to both science and unscientific consciousness, through which the latter is enabled to enter directly into the former.” (Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit, Preface)
