First sentence: In a striking passage from his Lectures on the Philosophy of World History, Hegel makes the following claim: 'For the everyday contingencies of private life, definitions of what is good and bad or right and wrong are supplied by the laws and customs [Sitten] of each state, and there is no great difficulty in recognizing them' (VG 94/80).
