The standard English translation of Glauben und Wissen, by Walter
Cerf and H.S. Harris, is entitled _Faith and Knowledge_. In English
we have to choose between "faith" and "belief" as translations of
Glauben. They chose "Faith" because, I suspect, they think that what
Hegel is criticizing in Kant and Jacobi is their tendency toward
"fideism"-- toward hypostatizing an attitude separate from and
independent of the constraints of reason.

They translate the final sentence:
"Since the [more] serene, less well grounded, and more individual
style of the dogmatic philosophies anmd of the natural religions must
vanish, the highest totality can and must achieve its resurrection
solely from this harsh consciousness of loss, encompassing
everything, and ascending in all its ernestness and out of its
deepest ground to the most serene freedom of its shape."
