/lit/ - Literature

I'm genuinely amazed with this book, it's written so fucking bad, Hegel was a mere brainlet when it comes to writing. But the surplus of superfluous knowledge that just drives itself into my brain with his shit Notion is astonishing.
Never in my life did I love, yet hate, someone as I do with Hegel, actual strenuous book.

How can I understand this book? Is there like a chapter-by-chapter study guide I can do or something? I'm too much of a brainlet to do it totally independently.

This book is too easy. Hasn't any written any truly deep and challenging philosophy?

Are there any poets that remind you of Hegel, Plotinus, or have a similar philosophical aspect? I'm aware Holderlin influenced the German idealists.

Is this the wokest philosophical text ever written?

As for mathematical truths, we should be even less inclined to regard anyone as a geometer who knew Euclid’s theorems outwardly by rote, without knowing their proofs, without, as we might say, to point the contrast, knowing them inwardly. Similarly, if someone became aware, through measuring a number of right-angled triangles, that their sides do, in fact, have the well-known relation to one another, we should consider his awareness of the fact unsatisfactory. Yet, even in mathematical cognition, the essentiality of the proof does not have the significance and nature of being a moment of the result itself; when the latter is reached, the demonstration is over and has disappeared. It is, of course, as a result that the theorem is something seen to be true; but this added circumstance has no bearing on its content, but only on its relation to the knowing Subject. The movement of mathematical proof does not belong to the object, but rather is an activity external to the matter in hand. Thus the nature of the right-angled triangle does not divide itself into parts in just the way set forth in the construction necessary for the proof of the proposition that expresses its ratio. The way and the means by which the result is brought forth belong entirely to the cognitive process. In philosophical cognition, too, the way in which the existence qua existence of a thing comes about, is distinct from the way in which its essence or inner nature comes to be. But, to begin with, philosophical cognition includes both , whereas mathematical cognition sets forth only the genesis of the existence, i.e. the being of the nature of the thing in cognition as such. What is more, philosophical cognition also unites these two distinct processes. The inner coming-to-be or genesis of substance is an unbroken transition into outer existence, into being-for-another, and conversely, the genesis of existence is how existence is by itself taken back into essence. The movement is the twofold process and the genesis of the whole, in such wise that each side simultaneously posits the other, and each therefore has both perspectives within itself; together they thus constitute the whole by dissolving themselves, and by making themselves into its moments.

What even is the point of understanding Hegel? Will it make my life better or will it just give me pseud poitns?

HOW

It is time

Holy fucking shit someone explain this shit to me. I'm reading it and don't understand a single thing. I'm about to say fuck it and read Schopenhaur. Please someone explain.

Just got this (Along with the divine comedy but that's because it was on sale, i got a hardcover version of it for 8 dollars when a normal hardcover copy usually goes for around 25 dollars so it was a pretty good deal.) what am I in for? Will it convince me enough for me to become a Hegelian?

Am I screwed or is it possible for me to understand it in this lifetime?

Is Hegel just Aristotle on acid?

>he doesn't like this PoS

Same with Hegel's phenomenology cover

Reading Hegelian philosophy is a prerequisite before criticizing Marxism.

>Filtered Schopenhauer
>Filtered Nietzsche
>Filtered Foucault
>Filtered Deleuze
Is this the biggest pleb filter?

The ultimate pleb-filter. Based Hegel.

I want to read pic related but I've never read anything like it and I want to be prepared for it.

Are there easier works you can read beforehand to familiarise yourself with Hegelianism? If so which ones?

Oob. Oooob. Ooob.

Every book I want to read is somehow related to this. This seems like the prerequisite to most modern philosophical books.

But a part of me is scared I would give it up halfway through and not make it to the other books I want.

Is it really that great of a book /lit/? Would it contain enough thoughtful philosophy so as not to be dull?

What did you think when reading it?
