On the basis of Hegel's philosophy, the author shows that education is connected with the stages of development of a spirit. The idea is substantiated that education and educational reforms that promote revealing of the spiritual in the person have an absolute value. The author proves the topicality of Hegel's ideas at the stage of modern reforming of education in Russia.
