How did Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel try to connect subjectivity with objective truth?

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel sought to bridge the gap between subjectivity and objective truth by transcending the limitations of Kantian philosophy, which he believed had created an unbridgeable divide between the knowing subject and the objective world.1

Hegel argued that truth is not merely a subjective construct but is instead "the whole," meaning that reality is a rational, spiritual process that unfolds over time. To connect the two, he proposed that "substance must become subject," a formula indicating that the objective world (substance) and the human mind (subject) are not separate entities but are both manifestations of a single, developing reality he called Spirit (Geist).21

Through his dialectical process, Hegel traced the evolution of consciousness from simple sense-certainty to "absolute knowing," where the mind recognizes that the rational structure of the world is identical to the structure of reason itself. By viewing history and culture as the stages through which this World-Spirit realizes itself, Hegel aimed to demonstrate that human subjectivity is the medium through which objective truth achieves self-awareness and intelligibility.132
