I was able to correctly identify it without even reading the initial paragraph. I have some brief exposure to Hegel’s philosophy having read A Very Short Introduction to Hegel and having read a few philosophical articles about him. Nonetheless, I haven’t read him directly and I don’t have any knowledge of his philosophy of right and wrong. One of the paragraphs had a claim the wrong way round and the other paragraph seemed kind of fluffy.
However, if I’d been shown the original paragraph, then I might have had more trouble differentiating it. That’s not surprising—presumably Scott chose that paragraph for a reason.
