 Two fundamental factors of history: the objective and subjective spirit

An English historical man Daniel Lord Smail(1961), has written a book about the principal factor of the history, this is the man, but considering the psychology of man that has determined the history, that this book is very important because the psychology has influenced certainly the become of time and his change; but before of Smail in a book of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel(1770-1831) has anticipated this concept in the Encyclopedia of philosophical sciences(1817), because in the third part of this book he has explained the Objective Spirit, but what is it? Simple it is the real manifestation of the human psychology, that he has called Spirit, and that is the principal factor for the history, and that, naturally, he has produced through the philosophical sense, through the names and philosophical concepts, as the Objective Spirit, that are daily for us, if we walk in a city or a small town or a civilized country, we can see the architectures, the progress, heard the citizens, it is the Objective Spirit, but we must leave to word to Hegel: “The objective spirit is the absolute idea, but alone for itself. Because the objective spirit is through on the ground of finiteness, its true rationality keeps in itself the form of external phenomenal…”; so it is a kick to the balls, and in fact it is so, but some explication can aid us; the idea, this is the concept is alone limited to whom thinks it and the finiteness is the external realization of this concept, when the concept become real, from the personal, hence from the Subjective Spirit, hence an personal ideal, that is the personal ideation, limited alone to whom thinks it, and the second part of this think is likewise clear, because: “…its true rationality keeps in itself the form of external phenomenal…”, why the external form if it is alone an idea? Simple because the Objective Spirit that, after the idea, is going to realize to external and through materially, therefore also the idea is a internal through the Subjective Spirit but after it becomes real through the Objective Spirit, that realize it in ground and through the material, but the principal factors that have determined these realizations are the Subjective and the Objective Spirit. These factors are in Hegel the philosophical concepts that are real, and for Smail it is the psychology, and Hegel continuing says: “This objectivity is divided for the anthropologic element of the particular needs, to the external particular…and for the rapport among the single will, that are awareness of themselves because different and particular. This cause is the material external for the existence for the will.”; this is the external reality determined the needs or desire and the different will or desire, above for the needs is the principal cause for the realization of an idea; if we think it we can see the factor of the history, the idea, hence the Subjective Spirit and the Objective Spirit, that are one following other, because Hegel in way less psychologic and more philosophic has explained what is the history and he has explained, I don’t know how much consciously, the principal factors of history, the idea that become reality, this is the Subjective and objective Spirit.
