In fact Hegel has worked out very astutely what Bildung is. " For the being of Geist (spirit) has an essential connection with the idea of Bildung. Man is characterized by the break with the immediate and the natural that the intellectual, rational side of his nature demands of him. "In this sphere he is not, by nature, what he should be"—and hence he needs Bildung. What Hegel calls the formal nature of Bildung depends on its universality. In the concept of rising to the universal, Hegel offers a unified conception of what his age understood by Bildung.
28 Likewise the rhetorical tradition of humanism invoked Socrates and the skeptical critique of the Dogmatists. We find that Vico criticizes the Stoics because they believe in reason as the regula veri and, contrariwise, praises the old Academicians, who assert only the knowledge of not knowing anything; and the new ones, because they excel in the art of arguing (which is part of rhetoric). Vice's appeal to the sensus communis undoubtedly exhibits a special coloring within this humanistic tradition.
In the field of natural 3 TRUTH AND METHOD phenomena this goal cannot always be reached everywhere to the same extent, but the reason for this variation is only that sufficient data on which the similarities are to be established cannot always be obtained. Thus the method of meteorology is just the same as that of physics, but its data is incomplete and therefore its predictions are more uncertain. The same is true in the field of moral and social phenomena. The use of the inductive method is also free from all metaphysical assumptions and remains perfectly independent of how one conceives of the phenomena that one is observing.
