/lit/ - Literature

Many philosophers talk about this
Apparently no one reads on this board anymore
OP is experiencing the departure from "substantial life/natural attitude/dogmatic slumber" and learning how to think
Pic related not only discusses this but attempts to proceduralize, and solve the problems that arise from, the pursuit of wisdom

Ok /lit/ I finally fell for the meme and dove into pic related.
I've heard schizo posters say that Hegel is a "sorcerer" and this work is a "spell" he cast over western thought, so all I can ask is wtf am I reading.
I have some experience with meditation and hypnosis and when I'm reading I feel my mind slipping into a trance like state.

>when I say 'I', this singular 'I', I say in general all 'Is'; everyone is what I say, everyone is 'I', this singular' I'

I find myself glossing over large sections like this and realizing I'm not comprehending anything and end up rereading it over and over until it becomes some hypnotic mantra in my head.
I've even gotten to the point of zoning out and thinking I am perceiving shapes and messages in the negative space of the paragraphs

Have you assholes made me open some spooky hermetic portal? Or is Hegel just really really boring
