Hume. I get a sick sort of pleasure watching him ruin all hope for knowledge and certainty.

I don't get Hegel. I don't get what he's trying to accomplish. I don't get how his writing accomplishes anything. And I don't get how anyone can find him relevant today.

People have misunderstood Hegel's last words "only one man has ever understood me and he didn't understand me" as referring to Hegel himself or his students but it was actually him admitting to being an obscurantist charlatan.

I blame Hegel for unleashing the plague of the SJW on this earth. Critical theory is worst meme of them all

Hegel was actually surprisingly conservative, if you read his letters/correspondence outside of the actual philosophy itself.

I think the Left Hegelians got it all wrong. The Right Hegelians were probably closer to what Hegel was thinking, but it's too late now. Left Hegelians won the war.

Have any of you paueds actually read Hegel? How do you attack his dense bibliography? Do you read chronologically/what kind of work should you be familiar with prior to reading?

>>8671767
Have you?

>>8671767

I'm >>8671733, and yes to all 3. I've acquainted myself both with Hegel's main works and everything surrounding them.

I'm very glad I did, he introduced me to Winckelmann (among others).

>>8671767
He literally said that Philosophy of History and Aesthetics are for the casuals that are first gen literates.

>>8671777
Of course not, that's why I was asking how you read them.
>>8671784
Any recs for secondary sources/commentaries?
