It is not good for man to be alone. Hegel says, It is impossible.
“I have my self-consciousness not in myself but in the other. I am satisfied and have peace with myself only in this other – and I am only because I have peace with myself; if I did not have it, then I would be a contradiction that falls to pieces. This other, because it likewise exists outside itself, has its self-consciousness only in me, and both the other and I are only this consciousness of being-outside-ourselves and of our identity; we are only this intuition, felling, and knowledge of our unity. This is love, and without knowing that love is both a distinction and the sublation of the distinction, one speaks emptily of it. This is the simple, eternal idea.”
Williams explains: “Our thinking . . . is ultimately radical loving: ecstasy, being-outside-ourselves.”
