A human being who remains in ignorance can never be free, because they live in a world that is alien to them, outside them and beyond their reach. They never try to make any part of that world their own. The spark of curiosity and the desire to know—from its simplest form to the highest philosophical striving—is an effort to overcome this lack of freedom and to build a world that belongs to us and is a product of our own thoughts and ideas. “Hegel”
