>Foucault
I want to drive-by mention that Foucault is the least sinful of that trick out of all the French philosophers of that period, bless the pedophile's little heart. He's the only one of them who even publicly admitted to doing it, seeing it as a necessity for public interest. He even went as far to call it out in others.
Quoting John Searle:
>With Derrida, you can hardly misread him, because he’s so obscure. Every time you say, “He says so and so,” he always says, “You misunderstood me.” But if you try to figure out the correct interpretation, then that’s not so easy. I once said this to Michel Foucault, who was more hostile to Derrida even than I am, and Foucault said that Derrida practiced the method of obscurantisme terroriste (terrorism of obscurantism). We were speaking in French. And I said, “What the hell do you mean by that?” And he said, “He writes so obscurely you can’t tell what he’s saying. That’s the obscurantism part. And then when you criticize him, he can always say, ‘You didn’t understand me; you’re an idiot.’ That’s the terrorism part.” And I like that. So I wrote an article about Derrida. I asked Michel if it was OK if I quoted that passage, and he said yes.

what did he mean by this?

What was seeing the Holy Spirit like for (you)?

It's time to climb the ladder to absolute knowing, OP.

all dialectics are negative dialectics

Do you ever try to visualise philosophical concepts in your head? I imagined myself as a baby looking at a rock as I was reading the first part of Phenomenology.

Is PoS the irl Necronomicon?

Do you have any of these ?

My friend tells me to read Kierkegaard since I like Hegel. Which of his works deal with Hegel?

Also feel free to discuss german philosophy in general, I guess...

What's good by Pippin? What is his approach? Also what is the meaning of your picture?

Should I read the Greater Logic or Lesser Logic after PoS?

Who here has read the entire Phenomenology of Spirit?

>"Man must be an emptiness, a nothingness, which is not a pure nothingness (reines Nichts), but something that is to the extent that it annihilates Being, in order to realize itself at the expense of Being and to nihilate in being. Man is negating Action, which transforms given Being and, by transforming it, transforms itself. Man is what he is only to the extent that he becomes what he is; his true Being (Sein) is Becoming (Werden), Time, History; and he becomes, he is History only in and by Action that negates the given, the Action of Fighting and of Work — of the Work that finally produces the table on which Hegel writes his Phenomenology, and of the Fight that is finally that Battle at Jena whose sounds he hearts while writing the Phenomenology. And that is why, in answering the “What am I?” Hegel had to take account of both that table and those sounds." (Kojève, "Introduction to the Reading of Hegel")
Where were you when Hegel completed the grand system of German Idealism?

this is classic

I highly recommend Lectures on Divine Humanity by Solovyov. He was Russian Orthodox, possibly a heretical gnostic sophiologist, and converted to Catholicism toward the end of his life. The book is extremely Hegelian and beautiful.
