Hegel demonstrates this as he states “ They have moreover no knowledge of the immortality of the

Understanding the key terms used by philosophers allows the reader to get a sense of the depth of knowledge the author is portraying. Hegel had quite the vocabulary and recollecting on the meaning of the words used in his writings creates a sense of connection to the author in the sense of being able to attach meaning to words as the author intended.
