If the best you can do to convey your ideas to others is to write them down in a lengthy book that nobody is actually 100% sure what you mean, your ideas aren’t that important.

Stirner’s Spook is an important idea. It can be explained in a few sentences.

Yes.

I don’t get it.

How do I accelerate my consciousness? I want to have mega woke, ultra modern, warp speed consciousness. What do I read?

What did he mean by this?

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Why did people take it seriously? It's just an attempt to revive christianity with a mythological story.

I don't get it.

It's either a common-sensical response to Kantianism and is a lot less daunting(and grand)than it's made out to be OR 99% of what he's trying to say is just going over my head. Which is it?

What books do I need to have read before I start reading Hegel? I've heard that a familiarity with Kant and Aristotle is pretty much mandatory, but I'd like a definitive reading list. Charts welcome.

I don't get it.

PoS essentially is the story of consciousness as it tries to understand itself, going through various stages of evolution. It is a difficult concept to grasp unless you are diligent and methodical with your studies. It is the idea of consciousness uniting with the substance towards an Absolute truth. Forcing us to question what we believe and taking a philosophical approach. Truth is an ongoing dialectical process. It is neither static nor thought of in terms of fixed opposites, but rather as concepts that move through continual changes over time in the dialectical development of ideas and history. The phenomenology looks at the foundation of knowledge. It grasps the various forms of the minds stages on the way in itself through which it becomes pure knowledge or Absolute spirit. Hegel's system can be broken down into several, consciousness, self-consciousness, observing and acting reason, and spirit itself. The richness of the appearances of the spirit, which at first sight presents itself as chaos, is brought into a scientific order, which presents itself according to their necessity, in which the imperfect dissolve and pass into higher ones, which are their closest truth. They find the ultimate truth, that is, the result of the whole. Hegel analyzes a system of logic, the purpose of philosophy, the pursuit of truth, history, and the sciences of nature and spirit .

ah PFFFFFFFFT, whatever

Planning on starting pic related; I have roughly 8 months to devote to the project. What secondary sources should I read alongside PoS to help me understand it? Is there any work of Hegel's that I should read beforehand?

Hegel is fucking total gibberish. Got this piece of shit taking up space on my shelf right next to Emily Wilson's Odyssey translation.

This shit filters plebs and normies hard. I get so much shit and condensation for trying to understand this text and explore its ideas. Why do people get turned off from trying to understand what he is saying?

You must have read THIS much Hegel to grasp the argument you're trying to argue with.
