Does this book hold all the secrets to life?
>>24871383Nobody knows, nobody has read it in full
>>24871383Just read an academic secondary source on it. This book goes through it. Of course, the author tries to cope with Hegel's retardation by saying that you should read it any because it's le "profound," but when a scholar lays it all out it loses its mystique and you realize it's nothing special.
>book from this guyDoes his ugliness add to, or take away from his wisdom?
>>24871418Pretentious post.
>>24871383it's the book that guarantees the employment of the philosophy department
>>24871786He most likely wasn't that ugly. It's just that he had the horrible misfortune of being painted by Jakob Schlesinger.
>>24871383No, that would be Spinoza's Ethics
>>24871383>no one knows what it means, but it's provocative
No, it's only the introduction to all the secrets of life. Absolute knowing is a beginning, not an end.
>>24871786That's just what Germans look like. When I think "German", I think of a face like that.
>>24871383>the thing is not the thing but is its aim but its aim is not its true aim nor is the thing the aim itself but it also can be depending on the expression of Geist within the axiomatic expression of Geist itself which is distinct from Geist leading to the final confrontation between the Absolute and the Void through>*stops to sniff more cocaine*>the spirit of History and then there will be the great synthesis of being with non being all in between merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream Oh yeah. Hegels a genius
>every couple days someone posts another thread about this book without actually saying anything about its contentsI think OP just wants easy replies. He has no plans to read this and never did.
>>24873439based OP
>>24873439>it's contentsuniversals are defined by their negativity, spirit is defined by its universalizing, and everything that exists has contradictions inside it that cause to eventually develop into spirit. it's not that complicated.
>>24871383You're lucky Adorno was there, Hegel would've sent you all the way back to Jesus. The best I can do is the present. You start thinking about this, Adorno anon already likely thinks I'm a terrorist, but Jesus was an ancient terrorist. Look how much fucking authority he has.
>>24871383>Pretentious Entry Level dick-wigglingFirst of all figure out the language Hegel likes to use, he talks like a schizo-autist retard, good luck. What he says makes sense but he over complicates it himself with his extreme social retardation. Not even kidding. And the conclusion of every thought line its always obvious shit, that you go like, ah yeah of course i knew this. He talks like an autist because he is writing about how he thinks abut shit play by play and you will want his old retarded ass to be over with it.
>>24871383Yes.
so /lit/ has moved from Kant to Hegel nowis this organic at all?
>>24871383One Piece for philosophy students
>>24875788As organic as the movement from Evola to Guenon.
>>24871383yes
>>24871383I’ve always wanted to read the Science of Logic (his actual metaphysics) but I’ve never been able to get around to it because of this. Does anyone know if I can skip directly to it?
