Today is of course the sacred anniversary of the great French Revolution.
To the surprise of some colleagues and students, the philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel always toasted the anniversary:
“This glass is for the 14th of July, 1789 — to the storming of the #bastille"
#FrenchRevolution #14juillet #BastilleDay
I always try to imagine the scene
(I'll share some historical miscellany in this 🧵 while trying to get around to some other relevant historical anniversaries)
