Secondary Literature is Trash
When it comes to Hegel, I’m just wondering if anyone else finds it much simpler to read Hegel himself. I have read some secondary literature but find it immensely boring. Hegel’s lectures, for instance on the Philosophy of Spirit, or the History of Philosophy, have been much more helpful to me. After reading these, the Phenomenology and Logic became much more comprehensible. To be fair, I also have my BA in philosophy so the secondary literature (introductory books) seemed like a waste of time. Does anyone agree?
