Is anyone else upset that Phenomenology of Spirit was just hastily thrown together during the Napoleonic wars? Perhaps part of the reason why the work seems indecipherable to many is simply because Hegel never had the time to properly revise it.

there are too many to list and you need more than just books. You need to have seen the art, visited cities, countrysides, mountains and the see and seen the buildings even if just the ruins. And I really think you need to have done the hard sciences outside of a classroom and jsut reading a book. Experience in a chemistry/physics lab is essential for grasping gaustian science.
You need to be proper european.

But a good list he himself gives is Book 1 end of chapter 5 where he lists the TRUE philosophy of the occident. It starts with:
>1819 Schopenhauer, "World as Will and representation"...
>1836 Schopenhauer, "Über den Willen in der Natur"...
>1840 Proudhon, "Qu'est-ce que la proprieté"...
>
>
>1905 Shaw, Major Barbara"
you should have read at least half of those listed books.

Personally I say you need to understand and feel the Goethe-Kant distinction the most.

what did he mean by this?
