Note
"Zeitgeist (German pronunciation /ˈtsaɪtɡaɪst/ Zeitgeist (help·info)) is a concept from eighteenth- to nineteenth-century German philosophy, meaning "spirit of the age". It refers to an invisible agent or force dominating the characteristics of a given epoch in world history.

Now the term is usually associated with Georg W.F. Hegel, contrasting with Hegel´s use of Volksgeist "national spirit" and Weltgeist "world-spirit",

but its coinage and popularization precedes Hegel, and is mostly due to Herder and Goethe. Other philosophers who were associated with such concepts include Spencer[year needed] and Voltaire.[year needed] " - (en.wikipedia.org 06.01.2021)
