Further Reading question
I was wondering where to go next with philosophical readings. I am a student and I sort of did philosophy backwards in the sense of starting with Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, etc mostly because as a 21 year old a lot of their work spoke to the place in life I was in at the time. This lead into reading Nietzsche, who even at that moment in my life I was not the biggest fan of to say the least. However after a little while I found myself growing frustrated or disenfranchised with the post modernists of the 20th century because after a while it felt like critique with no solution, in the case of Deleuze for example let’s say he’s right about Freud and capital, he doesn’t offer that tangible of solutions at least in my opinion, and granted it has been sometime since I directly engaged with his work. This all made me want to backtrack and I read Marx and Engels and really fell in love with their work and after reading Dialectics of Nature by Engels I decided to try Hegel out. I read Phenomenology of Spirit early this year and intend on reading it again in the near future but other than that following completing it I took a break from philosophy and have been reading fiction mostly, on one hand it was to take a break but on the other it was not knowing where to go next. I had to read part of Being and Nothingness for a class and some Wittgenstein for another and remember liking both fine and one of my professors gave me a copy of Being and Time and it’s kinda just stared at me from my shelf, but I was also thinking about reading Kant sometime soon. Ultimately I was wondering where to go from here, and thought I’d ask. Thank you.
