Very interesting!
As I said, I don't know much about Hegel. But I guess the above quote means that human actions do not come about authomatically, naturally. It is the accumulation of experience, knowledge and therefore escalation of consciousness that prepares the terrain for the owl to spread its wings. Or can something get better before getting worst! That is the way Marx looked at the matter I believe.
I would be interested in the ways in which that quote can be used to explain the movements of human consciousness.
