Aristotle and Thucydides were hard for me to understand, because they were both so dull that I wasn't so much reading as looking at words.

>> No.7034549

Phenomenology of Spirit. There must be a reason it's written the way it is, but I can't think of it.

There's also Being and Time. That's a good kind of difficult.

>> No.7034552

Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord.

Phenomenology of Spirit by Hegel, of Grammatology by Derrida or Technics and Time by Bernard Stiegler.

it's a trance inducing / conciousness rising thing

people that say they 'get' Hegel while complaining about the way he writes don't get Hegel.

dan brown - deception (or something idk)

couldn't get thru it

>> No.7034707

>>7034486
I'd say Leviathan (Hobbes) but I am not a native speaker so yeah. Also Robert Pirsig's Zen - those philosophical parts, it was more difficult in terms of time then understanding.

>> No.7034858

>>7034486
this wasn't that hard OP

fichte, science of knowledge
though it's been a while, i'm sure it would still be pretty fucking hard

>> No.7034881

probably some proof-driven shit i read about godel's incompleteness theorem. i still dont know wtf happened

Why? I just picked it up and I feel like Debord's style is pretty tame

>> No.7035915

>>7034486

it's not difficult OP the translation just sucks and it's written in a way which is meant to fatalise the dominant reading style - you're meant to have fun with it, creatively engage it

>> No.7035973

Sciences of the Artificial

Book on the nature of complexity. It mostly went over my head.

>> No.7035991

>>7034549
>>7034566
Nah. It's just that that book is written for people who have a very solid background in German idealist philosophy already. He's assuming you've read a shitton of books which you... well... haven't actually read. PoS is definitely not a book for beginners. It requires you to pretty much have a Graduate-level knowledge of Enlightenment philosophy.

>> No.7036078

Postmodernism or the cultural logic of late capitalism. Jameson's sentences are at least a half a page long so by the time you finish the sentence you forget how it started.

>> No.7036093

sterne's postmodern 18th century novel did it to me

>> No.7036109

Finnegans Wake. The wordplay etc. was fascinating but I couldn't say I made sense on my own of any underlying plot etc.

The PoS is child' s play compared to the Science of Logic though.

Probably Zuangzhi. Think that shit just flew over my head by a few miles. Maybe parts of the New Testament.

That or trying and giving up Finnegans Wake

Pic related. Kershaw's a good writer and it's an incredible piece of history scholarship, but my god is it dry. Kershaw also uses a lot of terminology that he defines early on and refers to hundreds of pages later that you have to hunt back and look at.
