Yeah. But he was also right.

[Anonymous No.22569762]

No, he was basically a normalfag in his time.

No, all the memes alluding to such sre made by people who never understood him.
Just read him yourself if you're curious. If you're versed in Kant you can pick up summaries of the necessary material by Fichte and jump into the Phenomenology from there, and Hegel basically holds your hand the whole way until you reach Absolute Knowing. If you get there and think what you just read was some bullshit just move on to Peirce or something, otherwise continue with the Logic.

He was a midwit, but at least he made retards like Russell and Popper seethe.

I didnt finish CPR, because its such a slog and read Reading Hegel: The introductions. Specifically the PoS part and yeah, its not that easy. I probably should finish the CPR (although Ive read the Prolegomena like 3 times).

Check out H.S. Harris' work Hegel's Ladder if you need a guide, it's arguably the best English-language Hegel commentary.

>>I would mention that in [the Science of Logic] I frequently refer to the Kantian philosophy (which to many may seem superfluous) because whatever may be said, both in this work and elsewhere, about the precise character of this philosophy and about particular parts of its exposition, IT CONSTITUTES THE BASE and THE STARTING POINT of recent German philosophy and that ITS MERIT REMAINS UNAFFECTED BY WHATEVER FAULTS MAY BE FOUND IN IT. The reason too why reference must often be made to it in the objective logic is that it enters into detailed consideration of important, more specific aspects of logic, whereas later philosophical works have paid little attention to these and in some instances have only displayed a crude — not unavenged — contempt for them. The philosophising which is most widespread among us does not go beyond the Kantian results, that Reason cannot acquire knowledge of any true content or subject matter and in regard to absolute truth must be directed to faith. But what with Kant is a result, forms the immediate starting-point in this philosophising, so that the preceding exposition from which that result issued and which is a philosophical cognition, is cut away beforehand. The Kantian philosophy thus serves as a cushion for intellectual indolence which soothes itself with the conviction that everything is already proved and settled. Consequently FOR GENUINE KNOWLEDGE, for a specific content of thought which is not to be found in such barren and arid complacency, one MUST turn to that preceding exposition.

I will finish it asap. Admittedly, its a bit embarassing that I still havent finished it.

[Anonymous No.22571082]

hegel is a german bourgeois coomer vermin who pushed for humanism by spouting word salads which impressed his even dumber audience, the german bourgeois. Hegel is the usual redditor you see today : he wanted a religion based on science and that everybody should care about atheist politics and that humanism was a progress on historical scales. for the generic atheist bug today, hegel is as far as they can go back in time. before hegel and kant, nobody was pushing for humanism turned into an obsession or even fetishization, simply because nobody was a fucking humanist in the first place. At best they can go up to lock but that's more for the capitalist bugs.

don't worry anon. it took me three tries over two years to finish. to this day I read it everyday and contemplate on it and have new insights. keep reading. you are gmi.

Thanks anon, admittedly Im amazed by German idealism. Much more interesting than reading the gay ancient greek shit. Btw, idk why this board loves them so much, ig its because they are easy to understand?

Kant's philosophy accidentally laid the groundwork for anti-humanism. I have a theory that he knew he had fucked up since he seems to have gone schizo after writing the CPR.

ancient greeks are actually higher tier than german idealists, but you won't see it till you read more.

I doubt you understand Greek unless you’ve taken a college coruse at least and you need to understand the history of philosophy to understand the current situation.

Yes he's a schizo

Hegel was a devout Lutheran and his dialectical examination of Christianity is arguably the best theology of the 20th century
