Hegel's "Aesthetics"-filter: I'm wondering what the German original is for the word "glance" in the English text? Blick? Flüchtiger Blick? Augenblick?" An English version of Hegel's Aesthetics can be searched here, fwiw. Thanks.

Philosophy-Filter: In reading a paper about mathematics philosophy I came across a reference to the term "idiotic infinity"; which Hegel used to express the unlimited accumulation of ideas, all of which become equally profound. I'd like to read more of what Hegel said about this idea, but I cannot find the term in use anywhere. Does anyone familiar with Hegel know where in his enormous corpus I might find the discussion of the "idiotic infinity"? There is also the off-chance that the math paper reference was wrong, and the term might have originated with another philosopher entirely.
