For Hegel, opposition equals death. But as we know, opposition always impplies noise, always impplies discussion: political opposition, economical opposition, physical opposition... Therefore either the great german philosopher who is believed by all and influenced all contemporary thought was wrong, or you, a simple member in an unsignificant internet forum somewhere in the infinitum of this dimension. I decide to believe in you, whiles althouh being rational would have taken to believing in Hegel, still common sense takes to believe in you as based on empirical evidence: if we don't talk about (for example) communism, it will dissapear (death).
I agree with your definition of philosophy. I also agree that we must apply and do what is logical, just as what we know and want are logical (here, want is my crap translation of querer in Spanish, it should actually be what we
dessire).
