I don't get it.
>>24829422That's why Schopenhauer is thousand-folds better
>>24829746Schoppenhauer is a sinpleton that has written for other sinpleton like you.
>>24829841what the fuck is a "sinpleton"? You typed this out twice, so don't pretend like it's some simple typo.
This book is the ultimate brown filter. Only Aryans can understand Hegels autism… you people should uh, stick to making shoes and delivering my coffee, this book is not for you
>>24829422I’ve only been exposed to fragments of it so far, but I highly suspect that there’s nothing to get. I also highly recommend just reading Schopenhauer. The first book is a bit abstract, but I can assure you that he has something to say.

>>24830109You’re spiritually white tho>>24830101Which brownoid are you, the retard who doesn’t understand Hegel or the retard who is afraid to read Hegel?
>>24830128Dialectically speaking, neither
When does Hegel defend his view of time as the self-externalization of the concept? It's a controversial point but in the Phenomenology he pretty much just asserts it. It's one thing to recognize the logic behind the experience of consciousness, quite another to say it proceeds in a linear order through discrete stages or shapes.
>>24830125Come on bruh it's the densest book ever written, there is so much more there than that. He talks about everything from theology to chemistry to palm-reading, the nature of erotic desire, property rights and communism, the failures of the earlier idealists, the nature of time and space, the speculative content of Christianity, tons and tons of cool shit.
If you want to make yourself depressed and/or feel superior to others check out the retarded reviews of this book on good reads:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9454.Phenomenology_of_SpiritOnly about one in ten of these people who cared enough about the book to write a review understood it.>Insofar as I understand Hegel’s argument, I cannot accept it. Although Hegel presents dialectic as a method of reasoning, I failed to be convinced of the necessary progression from one moment to the next. Far from a series of progressive developments, the pattern of the text seemed, rather, to be due entirely to Hegel’s whim.Wow check out the pseud everyone, point and laugh.
>>24829422It's just masturbatory nonsense designed to make midwits to feel smart, like communism or christianity. There's nothing to get.>>24829841>average hegelnigger IQ>>24830065>>24830125/thread
It's just like pussy, you wouldn't get it.
>>24830820French people were so much better at doing philosophy.
>>24830833You really pointing to Goodreads reviews as a sign of anything? Even the positive reviews are by people who don't understand or read anything. Big deal. And who gives a shit anyway, philosophy as an activity or science without utility means it doesn't matter, only children do this stupid pro-skub vs anti-skub bs.
>>24830833>https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9454.Phenomenology_of_SpiritOne the guys left a fucking essay and podcast episode about it. Absolutely unreal that someone would think they're so important that anyone would bother to read their essay tier book review. or listen to a podcast about it. Leave it to a Hegel fag to make something intended to be concise and summarized into an entire project.
>>24830869Filtered beyond belief.
>>24829422Hegel dialectics explained for babies: Hegel doesn't agree with Kant's strict disconnect between the object-in-itself and the object-of-perception. Hegel's Absolute is similar to the object-in-itself in that it is a greater truth than the world of sense perception, but differs from Kant in terms of knowability. The Absolute is just that, absolutely everything(the monad). In order to decern the contents of the Absolute we have to go through Hegel's dialectical process. The Absolute becomes separated into thesis and antithesis. Each is viewed as opposites as they "dismember" the Absolute. Since both thesis and antithesis do ultimately come from the same thing, the Absolute, the so-called opposite nature of these positions is challenged when we find aspects of the one in the other(elements of thesis in the antithesis and vice versa). Then we return to the Absolute with more knowledge about what it is. As we continue this process, more knowledge emerges. He then applies this to human consciousness and his works go from there.I doubt this is the best explanation ever lol, I am just tired of anons saying Hegel is impenetrable.
>>24830099Don't forget to swallow his dick
>>24829841Yeah sure because faggots like you make incomprehensible sentences to convey simple thoughts
>>24829422There's a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation at the end of the book.
If you're that stumped just get pic related. It is literally a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation designed to hold your hand through the whole work and call you a good boy at the end.
>>24831293This post illustrates why Hegel is hard to summarize. I know what you mean, but someone who hadn’t read him would come away thinking Hegel was basically a Spinozist. Also the process - why it works as it does, that’s rather important. But it’s not easy to summarize, you’d have to show why Hegel thought the first principled had to be this self-moving, self-externalizing absolute, and that goes beyond a summary. That’s what the whole Phenomenology is trying to do. In general the fact that so many here want to dismiss Hegel as not saying anything just illustrates how shit nu/lit/ is, he’s the Aristotle of continental philosophy. But no he didn’t say anything you could put on a bumper sticker and he was a progressive, not a chud. One of the best introductions to Hegel is his own introduction to the Encyclopedia + introduction to the shorter logic. https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/sl/slintro.htm. Ofc the absolute best introduction is the Phenomenology itself but that’s a big commitment. I doubt any of these Ritalin-addled Schop kiddies would have the patience/intelligence/curiosity to work through it.
If I wanted to summarize Hegel for a babby I’d focus on the speculative identity of substance and subject. On the one hand you have the religious who think the absolute is in Heaven, not here. The absolute is subject but not substance, not an actual object of consciousness. On the other, you have Spinoza but also more retarded fedoras and STEM types who make the absolute substance, abstract matter or nature in which consciousness is metaphysically annihilated. Hegel, as often, says “you’re both right and you’re both wrong.” The absolute is not in a beyond - point for the fedoras. But it is subjective, intersubjective - point for the religious. God “is” our own intersubjective human cultural world. But that’s not meant to be a deflation of God by any means, God is indeed a sort of something we are in, but equally not a thing at all. Now philosophy concerns thought itself - logic. And the external aspect, our limit which is not up to us, nature, which is yet logical. Hence philosophy of nature. And then philosophy of spirit, thought living in human beings who are torn between rationality and nature. But in working these out he talks about more or less every major problem in western philosophy from a novel stance, a “perfected” idealism. Hegel is not a schizo he just sounds schizo if you don’t understand how he thinks, he’s working out what it means to be a man, or to be men, logically. If that sounds boring to you I don’t know what to say, most people shouldn’t read philosophy.
>>24829422Just read the chapter on Understanding, and once you have a grasp on how understanding works, you'll be able to understand the rest of it.
