The Owl of Minerva According to Hegel

Only when civilizations reach their ultimate decay, their final throes, can philosophy utter something substantial on what was their history because such kind of truths may be caught only when societies leave from scene at dusk, meaning only in retrospect. Thus, the look that philosophy is able to direct to all of human history is analogous to that of an owl flying over the fields, because it raises its flight always with nightfall.

Does a last 'Owl of Minerva' already overfly our so overwhelmed with apocalyptic signs present century?
