Ok guys I have read one page of Hegel and I already want to rip my eyes out of their sockets. How can I read Hegel in a way that is easier? Is there a method I can apply while reading? I refuse to die without understanding this fucker.

    I read like 1-2 pages and put it down and read Marx to calm myself down. Hegel is pretty important from what I hear but he’s so boring to read if you’re not explicitly in the mood to read philosophy. What should I read to start? I assume that I should start with Phenomenology of Spirit?😔😰

      That’s the one I chose to start with! I think I’m going to try and read Hegel with Marx simultaneously.

      From now on, when I try to read Hegel, I think the best is to deconstruct him sentence by sentence, be patient, be calm, and don’t rush.

      I couldn’t understand Marx much but now I feel much more confident reading him, and the same will happen with Hegel if I take my time.
