Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (German pronunciation: [ˈɡeɔɐ̯k ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈheːɡəl]) (August 27, 1770 – November 14, 1831) was a German philosopher, one of the creators of German Idealism. His historicist and idealist account of reality as a whole revolutionized European philosophy and was an important precursor to Continental philosophy and Marxism.
Hegel developed a comprehensive philosophical framework, or "system", of Absolute idealism to account in an integrated and developmental way for the relation of mind and nature, the subject and object of knowledge, psychology, the state, history, art, religion and philosophy. In particular, he developed the concept that mind or spirit manifested itself in a set of contradictions and oppositions that it ultimately integrated and united, without eliminating either pole or reducing one to the other. Examples of such contradictions include those between nature and freedom, and between immanence and transcendence.
Hegel influenced writers of widely varying positions, including both his admirers (Strauss, Bauer, Feuerbach, T. H. Green, Marx, Engels, Vygotsky, F. H. Bradley, Dewey, Sartre, Croce, Küng, Kojève, Fukuyama, Žižek, Brandom, Iqbal) and his detractors (Schopenhauer, Herbart, Schelling, Kierkegaard, Stirner, Nietzsche, Peirce, Popper, Russell, Heidegger). His influential conceptions are of speculative logic or "dialectic", "absolute idealism", "Spirit", negativity, sublation (Aufhebung in German), the "Master/Slave" dialectic, "ethical life" and the importance of history.

Hey, hey Julia, you're acting so peculiar
I know I'd never fool you in a million years
A horn section you resemble and your figure makes me tremble
And I sure would like to handle what's between your ears
And you're a temptation to a man
And I could not resist you and I won't if I can
You're so unexpected and whatever you injected
Made me feel how I felt when I sang
Hey, hey Julia you're acting so peculiar
I know I'd never fool you in a million years
You're a strain on my eyeses and you're full of surprises
Love materializes soon as you come near
There's a sensation you create
Robs me off my sleep and I've forgotten the date
My head started spinning soon as you started singing
And like a fish I just froze to the bait
Hey, hey Julia with your crazy sense of humor
You turn fact into rumor soon as you come near
A horn section you resemble and your figure makes me tremble
And I sure would like to handle what's between your ears
You're a temptation to a man
And I could not resist you and I won't if I can
You're so unexpected and whatever you injected
Made me feel how I felt when I sang
Julia, you're a danger just like giving sweets to strangers
Working all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track
But when I get home,
You're always there to rub my back
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway
Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me running 'round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do
But he can't tell me what to feel
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
HOW'YA JULIA
(Moran/Carton)
How ya Julia, how ya Julia
How ya Julia, did ya hear about yer one
How ya Julia, how ya Julia
How ya Julia, did ya hear about yer one
Did you see yer one with Gay-bo, talkin' on the Late,
Late Show
She was tellin' us about the things that happened long
How she loved the bishop and he loved her just as well
Only God knows will he go to Heaven or to Hell
He helped the starvin' millions and he got them food to
And the homeless Irish immigrants are livin' on the
street
And when it came to singin' his repertoire was vast
He swore that he'd be celibate he slipped and broke his
fast
Chorus:
Mighty, mighty, Lord almighty, off with the collar, off
with the nightie
Jesus, Mary and Holy Saint Joseph, the beads are
rattlin' now
Mighty, mighty, Lord almighty, off with the collar, off
with the nightie
Jesus, Mary and Holy Saint Joseph, the beads are
rattlin' now
Now when he was up in Galway takin' in the church
collection
His lover must be busy writing down her recollections
Like was the poodle black or white and did the moon
come out
I'll have to read this thing meself and find this
matter out
When you think about his logic sure its cars that come
to mind
Like the way he drove his Lancia to get to church on
time
A twenty four hour ****** job I did one down in Tuam
He wasn't such a slow coach when he got her in the room
Mighty, mighty, Lord almighty, off with the collar, off
with the nightie
Jesus, Mary and Holy Saint Joseph, the beads are
rattlin' now
Mighty, mighty, Lord almighty, off with the collar, off
with the nightie
Jesus, Mary and Holy Saint Joseph, the beads are
rattlin' now
Oh the blind and faithful followers are worried and
distraught
And the only thing that's botherin' them is that the
poor man he got caught
Chorus
Must be funny in the morning he'd be doin' the
consecration
After nights of long and passionate, unbridled
fornication
Sittin' in the chapel attendin' exposition
Dreaming Karma Sutra and his favorite position
How ya Julia, how ya Julia
How ya Julia, did ya hear about yer one
How ya Julia, how ya Julia
How ya Julia, did ya hear about yer one
Working all day for a mean little man

And I'd never make it through without you around
Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down

And I'd never make it through without you around
No, I'd never make it through without you around
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
