Exploring the impact of illegitimacy, the narrative intertwines the lives of Ludwig Fischer, Hegel's illegitimate son, and Minna Herzlieb, a love of Goethe. Both children, adopted by Hegel’s bookseller, experience tragic fates shaped by their philosophical legacies. The novel contrasts Hegel's "absolute spirit" with Goethe's "spirit of the Earth," reflecting on how the ideals of the righteous can harm their progeny. Through a meditative style, it presents a chorus of voices, emphasizing Hegel's enduring influence on contemporary thought.
