He's okay.

His ideas are great to interact with. His works are awful to read.

What's some essential Hegel?

>>9243216
In general, the Phenomology of Spirit is essential.

My expertise is in political philosophy, so I highly recommend the Philosophy of Right.

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, the Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences is an important work, but there are so many other important works out there that I would shelve it for much later in life.

thesis, antithesis, synthesis

Nobody here has read him. People just pretend to like him because they like the idea of a "mystic" and they want to shit on Russell

>>9243350
russell was a better hegelian that these moes will ever be
until he wasn't

>>9243320
Aren't his books really long, could I read abridged versions, or would too much be lost?

>>9243415
No half measures you fucking faggot. Either commit or don't read at all

>>9243415
Yes, you could, but only if abridged by an expert, not some advice you get on the internet.

>>9237503
He's the grandfather of continental philosophy.

The only.philosopher.which I couldnt read.without other scholarly sources
