How feasible is it to read a book like being and time or critique

>>8442418
near impossible in terms of what you will get out of it. Though The Republic and Thus Spoke are easier to grasp than say Being and Time or Phenomenology of Spirit. Luckily there is a plethora of secondary literature or lectures that are easily obtainable through the internet.

The chances of you missing more than at least 50% of the info is quite high

This is good insight. Is there a chart or a website that will help guide me through the appropriate supplementary material, so I don't have to keep asking people?

Spoken like a true pleb.

Think about it. Every reputable book was at one point read by those without any supplementary material, some of whom no doubt went on to write the supplementary material you plebs rely on.

I take it you've read the works listed in the OP?

All of them except Phenomenology of the Spirit.

The Republic was read, initially, by people who had a grasp of either Greek or Latin within a world that was more identical to their own than it is to our present day. Though these books are often described as being timeless, you need thorough background information to be able to understand and appreciate a book like Plato's. For example if you are unaware with Heraclitus, Pythagoras, the Peloponnesian War and Sophistry, chances are Plato will seem very strange to you.

Being and Time and Phenomology were celebrated within a time where philosophy was already by en large an ingrained profession and discipline.
Books like Phenomenology and Being and Time got canonized not because some random 15 y/o's thought this was the next flavor of the month, it became canonized because people that have made philosophy their life devotion and even then still struggle with those books.

This is why Plato is extremely important for everyone to read, it teaches you to be humble , intellectually, at all times.

I randomly bought Being and Time and couldn't understand a fucking thing.

It's very feasible, as long as you're well read in terms of philosophy. Maybe for PoS you should read something easier by Hegel first, he's a bit confusing, but all the others you listed are pretty decent entry level texts for those authors and philosophy in general

This. It shouldn't take you more than a couple days to read any of those books besides maybe Phenomenology.

>>8442631
Ofcourse you can't if you aren't ingrained within philosophy or Husserl's works

There's some essay that Heidegger wrote which people always recommend before reading B&T.
