Hegel likes to drop people's names, and if you haven't read that thinker it makes it more difficult to get what he means by it. Hegel is top tier difficulty in philosophy, partly for this reason, but mostly for his obtuse writing. Reading "everything else" is obviously a bit of a hyperbole, but he should be approached after you have a decent grasp on the more foundational philosophers.

Personally I took 4.5 years of philosophy at university. It wasn't a great uni but the philosophy department was amazing. You have to think of this as a lifelong process, not a goal to achieve. I've still got a list of books I need to read that's longer than it was when I started.

Also, a lot of the people on here just posture. There are very few who have actually read and understand the texts they meme about on here. You're on the right path anon. Godspeed.
