How to overcome the crisis caused by modern individualism representative of the French Revolution and Enlightenment Philosophy took a key place in the course of formation of Hegel’s ideology. This question made Hegel not only recognize Christianity’s ethnic value in overcoming modern individualism and recover the belief in an integrate social spirit but also seek this integrate social spirit in modern economic and political institutions. At last, he understood that division of work and exchange system in modern society established a universal social contact between individuals and that the task for modern states was to promote this potential social ethnic relationship to a selfconscious will of the community. It is in this way that Hegel overtook classic political economics in explaining social naturalism and re-considered modern society as a liberal creation and realization of human spirit.
