Philosophers

I read Aristotle and Kant in the original languages with enjoyment and profit. But I am finding Hegel extremely difficult to follow. Is there any easy way in?

Comments

No.

Indeed, there's no easy way in. But you would do a great deal better beginning with the Philosophy of Right (or the Phenomenology) than with, say, the Logic. Hegel's Philosophy of Right is hard, but no harder, in my view, than Kant's Metaphysics of Morals or Aristotle's Metaphysics. And the effort to understand this work by Hegel is well worth the effort.
