/lit/ - Literature

I personally want to read and understand Hegel first, then read Marx, the syndicalists, Gentile etc. I've been toying with some of my own ideas as of late, and I want to integrate them with a proper philosophical framework. We have elections where I live, and it has dawned on me how meaningless the choices are, since they're pretty much all the same from my pov. I want to write something, and it might become my life's work if I stick to it. Or it might just stay as anonymous musings on a mongolian basket-weaving forum.

So is it possible to obtain the spiritual through/with the help of the material?
