Hegel Who?

Looking thru some of a sister-in -law's old family papers last night, from her great grandmother who had been a missionary in China in the 1880s, came upon the name "Hegel" in her great grandfather's extracts --apparently from Durant's History of Philosophy. Neither she nor my second brother knew the name at all. They didnt even mention having 'heard the name, but forgetting who he was'.
Nice successful people who have little, verging on no, idea of our human story. (The etymology of nice helps explain this.)
