In Modern Times, Hegel again discusses freedom. He discusses various examples of hinderance to a people's freedom, and then in concurrence with his introduction concludes that freedom is established through rationality. In a political system, he points to the aristocracy as the link between the Sovereign and the People, providing Rationality in its most Universal form. Is this merely wishful thinking? Can a system rely on a class of people, especially one that is not exactly the middle of the road, empathizing with everyone else, to provide universal, common-good rationality?
