Quit wasting your time on Hegel. Either go back to Kant or study Bataille. Heidegger is ok too.

kojeves book is not an intro to Hegel despite the name of the text, it’s his very specific interpretation of Hegel. You are reading kojeve more than you are Hegel. Even hyppolite’s book on the phenomenology functions better as an overall intro, even if it veers towards a French postmodern kind of reading. But there are also other intros that are better overall, I don’t know about in Japanese though.

campared to the Bible, yes.

Can't really help you with understanding Hegel, there are two playlists on youtube going over his two primary works
Science of Logic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBAqLRlJe9p4sSXYnSVZUyVFeRFDFB4RR (about 14 hours total)
Phenomenology of Spirit: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4gvlOxpKKIgR4OyOt31isknkVH2Kweq2 (about 180 hours total)
Out of curiosity, do you plan on using an english or japanese translation?

It doesn't matter.
It was originally motivated by Bataille and Lacan.

>there are not many introductory books and commentaries on Hegel due to the Marxist domination of the publishing industry until recently
You do realize all Marxists are Hegelians right?

>>21800683
>there are not many introductory books and commentaries on Hegel due to the Marxist domination of the publishing industry until recently
What did he mean by this?

>>21800778
Maybe he wants a non-retarded version of Hegelianism

Kojeve is good. So is Hyppolite. But not the true Hegel per se. I would suggest Hegel's Ladder by Harris. Pinkard has a good bio. Have you read PoS and SoL? Worth reading the primaries too

PS: do you like Nishida and Nishitani? Interesting Hegel responses at least the former's Basho logic

>>21800784
It's worth noting Kojeve is a Heideggerian Marxist so may be retarded too according to many (in addition to a soviet disinfo agent)

FWIW Lacan and Bataille were both highly influenced by Kojeve regardless of accuracy of interp...

Which is better: the Lectures on Historical Philosophy or the Lectures on the History of Philosophy?

Aren't Japs like super smart? Can't he fucking use Google or whatever gay kawaii equivalent they use over there? Is libgen banned in Japan?

Imagine thinking that adding "dialectical" or "dialectics" to the name of something makes it Hegelian

They don't know how to use the internet. I've seen people reading videogame guides in Bookoff, or listening to samples of albums in Tower Records.

The best introduction to Hegel is Hegel: A Reinterpretation, by Walter Kaufmann, translator of Nietzsche.

>>21800867
That sounds interesting at least

I'm currently trying to learn Hegel and one book that's changed how I approach his work is "Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition". I had this idea that Hegel was an atheistic philosopher (from Zizek, Bernstein, McGowan, others), but this book argues persuasively that he was actually a very religious thinker, in the tradition of some of the great religious reformers. It's definitely eye opening in how radically different my reading of Hegel has been once I've read that book.

>>21800700
>Kant
But Kant is useless, why would he read him?

Stop saying jap, OP, it's a slur americans use.

>>21800764
kind of sounds like you're fucked

hilarious

oh we offended now? fuck off

Americans are uniquely anti japanese because of 80's propaganda. The racism gets tedious.
