I strongly agree but none of it is easy reading and I doubt the average person has the time to understand the nuances.
- RNCTX 5y agoAgreed, that's the catch. It is difficult reading. I would argue that without a grasp of Hegel's basic theories you can't even start, and without a grasp of Marx's basic theories you can't get from Hegel to the modern age. For anyone reading the comments, one of the best sources I've found, that remind me very much of my own days in formal humanities education so much that I find myself listening to the lectures more than once, is a youtube channel from a professor in the Pacific Northwest named Wes Cecil. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ff15w4ufviWfv9UfIuByA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ff15w4ufviWfv9UfIuByA He has a whole series of one-hour public lectures (as in... targeted to the general public who may or may not have a humanities background themselves, not humanities university students who do) which cover the basic concepts of the most prominent figures in modern PHIL. ps: he didn't get to Hegel until 2019 so it's not in the PHIL playlist on his channel [1] 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNhCCXlaR2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNhCCXlaR2s
