Hegel(as the main philosopher referenced in this statement): Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher (1770-1831) who argued that reality and human thought develop through a process of contradiction and resolution, constantly evolving toward greater understanding.
Incorporate(laws should incorporate, not erase, differences): To include or build something into a larger whole, rather than leaving it out.
abstract universality(Hegel's critique of moral philosophy): A form of morality characterized as being without content, arising from pure inward abstraction
civil society(Central point of dispute between Burke and the Price/Wollstonecraft position): For Burke: a web of countless ineffable links between individuals, shaped by custom, culture, and national character, not reducible to abstract rules or rights. For Price and Wollstonecraft: a domain amenable to simplification, explication, and rational transparency.
