What's up with Hegel?

What's up with Hegel?

He's the greatest.

He's the worst.

pseuds cant pierce his wizardly gaze

more like heGAY amirite

nailed it.

hella fr*ckin epic

He's okay.

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

What's some essential Hegel?

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

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

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

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

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

He's the grandfather of continental philosophy.

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

his writing is garbage

That was epic. That was epic FTW!!!

K

His only useful contribution to the world was giving us Marx

he's a meme

So no cotribution at all.
