To generalize means to think is a dictum by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel first recorded in Elements of the Philosophy of Right (1820)

Fully it reads "An idea is always a generalization, and generalization is a property of thinking. To generalize means to think."

Its original German reads:

Jede Vorstellung ist eine Verallgemeinerung, und diese gehört dem Denken an. Etwas allgemein machen, heißt, es denken. ("Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts oder Naturrecht und Staatswissenschaft im Grundrisse", Berlin, 1833, p. 35)

Various English translations:

  • "Any idea is a generalization, and generalization is a property of thinking. To generalize something means to think it."
  • "Every representation is a generalization, and this is inherent in thought. To generalize something means to think it."
  • "Any idea is a universalization, and universalizing is a property of thinking. To universalize something means to think."
  • "An idea is always a generalization, and generalization is a property of thinking. To generalize means to think."
