Is there a good book that gives a quick rundown on Hegel? I don't wanna read some rambling obscure 600 page ancient tome.

hegels ladder is just as hard as hegel
but h.s. harris is definitely a great author for this kind of stuff
a little known book thats tiny but VERY GOOD is by H.S. Harris Phenomenology and System

https://www.amazon.com/Hegel-Phenomenology-H-S-Harris/dp/087220281X

you can read it in a single session and its not a "lol intro book"

The point of the Phenomenology is that you have to go through the movement itself. You can't just put yourself on the point at the end and grasp the truth. In the dialectical process, the truth of a 'moment' = in the form, in the path.

exactly, and not even fichte is this facile.
it will never end, the idea that hegel's system was thesis/antithesis/synthesis. its hegels own fault, he could have tried to write at least something more clearly while he was young. he actually started to do so later in life but got suprise killed by a cholera epidemic. he could have left a much stronger legacy i think had he not died relatively young.

but yes, /lit/ please PLEASE do not perpetuate the myth that hegel mechanically tried to insert any and all phenomena into the schema thesis/antithesis/synthesis - it's just plain fake fucking news created by some third rate 19th century commentator named Chalybäus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Moritz_Chalyb%C3%A4us

hegel is hard, in my opinion the most difficult philosopher to read in history. so it makes sense we would want easy schematic shortcuts - there just aren't, you have to dedicate 2-3 years at least to even start getting him. And its questionable whether the payoff is even worth the work required. I know thats not practical, and thats not what we want to hear, but its the truth.

Did the debate actually killed his persona? I hardly find a thread about he now,

>> No.13456072

My understanding of his philosophy of history is that history is sort of like this coming into awareness of a world-spanning consciousness of itself. History is a directional process rather than a series of haphazard events. At times, the spirit of history coalesces around a single figure, movement, or idea, which pushes the whole process forward.

Napoleon for instance, was seen by Hegel as embodying this world-historical consciousness in a single vessel.
