What was the point of writing the Phenomenology of Spirit as an 'introduction' when none of the terms used in that book (form, content, substance, actuality, existence, difference, infinite, etc.) are properly understandable until you read this one? What was Hegel thinking by not explaining or defining anything, leaving the reader to muddle along with context + knowledge of how the terms are used in other authors? What was his endgame?

>>24828642There is enough context in the Phenomenology of Spirit to figure out all of those terms, you're probably just somewhat retarded. That's okay, most Hegelians are.
>>24828654I could figure out what they meant but not the intricacies and fine points of the logical relationships between them. Re-reading PoS with more knowledge of logic under my belt is almost like reading a different book entirely.
>>24828660If you couldn't figure out negation of negation from the Phenomenology of Spirit you are fully retarded and ngmi.
>>24828673I did figure that out he describes it in the introduction. For fuck's sake man do you want to talk about Hegel or randomly insult an internet stranger? It's curious to me that Hegel published a book that could not be fully or properly understood on its own. Do people have thoughts on this? Did Hegel ever address it?
This is why the Encyclopedia system starts with logic.
