Cieszkowski was the creator of the "philosophy of action." Philosophy of action is chiefly concerned with human action, intending to distinguish between activity and passivity, voluntary, intentional, culpable and involuntary actions, and related question. ...
Of primary importance in the Young Hegelian world-view was the belief that Hegel's dialectical method implied that world-history had gone through two antithetical stages; the feeling or materialism of antiquity, and later the modernist epoch of thought in Christianity, and that it was now the philosophers' task to move on to synthetical praxis.
AugustCieszkowski reforms Hegel's world history to fit better with the Hegelian form of philosophy, and divides it into Past, Present and Future.
But Cieszkowski made this call for action with the Mind seen as an Other.
