CHegel ✓ Correct
DErik Olin Wright
Correct answer: (C) Hegel — The view that art, religion, and philosophy differ only in form while sharing one purpose is Hegel's.
Explanation
★The view that art, religion, and philosophy differ only in form while sharing one purpose is Hegel's.
★For Hegel all three are expressions of Absolute Spirit coming to know itself.
★Art grasps the Absolute through sensuous images, religion through feeling and representation.
★Philosophy grasps the same Absolute through pure concepts, the highest and most adequate form.
★So they share a single content and aim, differing only in the mode of apprehension.
★This triad crowns Hegel's system of Absolute Spirit above subjective and objective spirit.
