i do find myself rather prone to such things... i need to work on that.

@SEPTA OFF DUTY Great majority of people are not prone. But some familiarity with the philosophical apparatus of the times must be made before Hegel. Some people say to study Science of Logic first. But many fail to do that. Maybe you can try and if you fail study more.

@Deleted User

which book

Oooh I was wondering when someone would post this http://i.4cdn.org/pol/1500863543723.png
Threads by NEETs and do-for-frees always get the most acute destructions :^)

@Deleted User Critique of Pure Reason. I was a Catholic Thomist. It destroys Aristotelian logic.

@Firefly#9983 apparently his writing is very confusing. should look into Kant perhaps. or maybe start at greek philosophy. i shouldn't put so much pressure on myself to try to know all of these things as fast as i can learn all of these things

>Catholic

i wonder why it's not letting me @ people

>C A T H O L I C

@SEPTA OFF DUTY Most of time Hegel goes in sequential order of how philosophy developed from the very beginning so you can read on the Greeks and the rest in the time you start Science of Logic. You may go to them as reference and then come back for next step in Hegel.

Dante what would you consider yourself *now*?

I'm glad you can spell. Catholicism came most natural to me because I was raised in the culture and it puts heavy emphasis on scholasticism. Sadly, such reliance is also their undoing.

@Firefly so i can go from greek philosophy to hegel? there's nothing in-between?

oh, now it works

Now, I wander in Hell. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Full materialism.

@SEPTA OFF DUTY You can't. How Hegel did it? He took history of the philosophy and placed it in the system. He believed many things developed in the right order and that is how we study them.

>materialism

Fuck me. But why subject yourself to materialism?

@Firefly ah, i'm sorry

To me, it must be done. It is all that is left in the end.

Very edgy. I hope you get well soon.

@Deleted User material and ideal both matters.

@Deleted User We need strong ideas as well as strong science behind them.

>materials
>science

Gibs me dat is the least scientific philosophy out there

@Deleted User You think material does not matter at all?

It matters in practice. Materials are for use and preservation. My issue comes from hoards and the reverance of excess.

>My issue comes from hoards and the reverance of excess.

whats that

The majority of scientists are also left leaning.

"I have what I need. But I don't have enough, I want more."

@Deleted User I don't want more.

@Deleted User Scientists are also very pious.

@Firefly Are you compensated enough for your labor by the bourgeois?

@Deleted User I was from childhood kinda rich.

Oy vey!

Not supermega rich

Because I am intolerant of fairy tales - I am edgy. Because scientists are left leaning - they are pious. Well, do you have any more hand waves today?

But my relatives are all in good position in socialism and capitalism.
