in this order,

All three of Kant's critiques,
Schulze' Aenesidemus (ISBN 0872205045)
Ficthe's reply to the Aenesidemus (ibid)
Fichte's 1794 Wissenschaftslehre (THIS version, not other years)
Hegel's Difference essay

Hegel will still be difficult after this but you won't get filtered

You need to read Hume before all that.

plato was not important for hegel? seriously?

>>16375271
Unfortunately you have to read everything that came before him. I'm going to make it easy for you and post the minimal requirements
>Kant and everyone you need to read in order to comprehend Kant - Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Leibniz, Wolff, Baumgarten, Hume
>Descartes
>Spinoza
>some introduction to Gnosticism and Hermeticism, add to that a book Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition
>Jacob Böhme
>Fichte
>Solomon Maimon

not really. Hume is just Berkely + induction. Just read Hume's account of causality somewhere (this is literally the only part of Hume that matters for Kant.) He is not like German philosophers where you need to understand background to understand where he's coming from. Just read a wikipedia article on him.

I was just assuming OP has already read some basic philosophy. If he hasn't then he should start with "What do I need to read to understand Kant?" instead of asking about Hegel

>>16375328
plato is not basic philosophy, he was as much an influence in kant as in hegel if not more

>>16375333
I mean basic as in foundational

>>16375336
oh yes, indeed. i'm enthusiastic in this issue because there is a striking passage in the republic in which plato describes exactly the question of being and nonbeing hegel addresses and there is that famous drawing of hegel holding a copy of plato's complete works
