The question of the importance of pedagogical work of G.W.F. Hegels may seem absurd to the advocates of philosophic purity of his thought. However, in general, it could be said that every major philosophical system includes a pedagogical theory. We proceed on the assumption that educational significance of Hegel lies in his philosophy and that the essence of Hegel’s concept of education is contained in his Phenomenology of Spirit. The whole of Hegel’s Philosophy of Spirit is actually his own educational theory, which is expressed as "comming to itself in another ego". Most recently, an idea founded on the ancient model has appeared in the field of education - the idea of general education. Its retum brings in not only the possibility of overcoming the one-sided version of the mathematical logical reality, but also the possibility of a creative, dialectical transition to a broader concept of education leading to universal and harmonious development of personality. Therein lies the importance of education and pedagogy, which was expressed by Hegel himself as "The pedagogy is the art of making human beings ethical".
