Hello Chenyuquan,

You misunderstand me. I certainly do not think that Morality,
Religion and Absolute Mind/Spirit "belong to the ideological sphere."
(Is that what you meant by "ideolocial"?) I think they are very much
part of our everyday lives. I agree with Hegel about this, and I
disagree with the Materialists, Atheists, Skeptics and Naturalists
who argue that these concepts have no firm foundation, and are merely
"ideological." I think that one of Hegel's greatest accomplishments
is that he showed how these concepts _do_ have a firm foundation.
This is the main goal of his major works, the _Phenomenology of
Spirit_, _Science of Logic_, _Encyclopedia of the Philosophical
Sciences_, and _Philosophy of Right_.

I hope that Chinese scholars appreciate this accomplishment of
Hegel's, which is one of the important ways in which Hegel disagrees
with Karl Marx (in particular). It is very unfortunate that Marx did
not appreciate or agree with this accomplishment of Hegel's, because
without Morality (etc.), human life is a disaster.

Best regards,
Bob W
