And if so, to what extent?

Im new to philosophy and this books really intrigues me. I have heard it’s hard but its only 60 pages which I think I can tough out. The reason I’m asking is, i wanna get as much as I can out of this read and in my search for philosophy works that interest me, i have come to notice you generally need to know quite a bit before reading many philosophers.

And what should I read to learn more about it?

What should I use when JQ is not working or I’m not in the mood to play her?

I’m not familiar with philosophy but my studies of Marxism has led me to wanting to read Hegel. I have heard he is difficult to read so I’m guessing starting with secondary sources is better, any recommendations?

I would also love if anyone would tell me those actually worth reading!

I have a 101 level of understanding of both Hegelian dialectics and dialectical materialism.

Im new to reading about communalism but it seems like a valid way of organizing society and maybe even the safer bet between anarchism and libertarian municipalism.

But those anarchists that are knowledgeable about communalism, what is wrong about organizing that way? Or rather, why is your way better?

My favorite author is probably Cormac McCarthy

Im primarily interested in reading Nietzsche but Hegel and Kierkegaard interests me to.

Edit: I have realized ”intro” was poorly worded. What I meant is can I read ”essays and aphorisms” as a first non fiction philosophy read?
