I discovered singer through effective altruism. Nice to begin this work on hegel, a man with who’s person I am much familiar but with whose works I am greatly unfamiliar. I don’t ever plan on reading the phenomenology, and I understand that Hegel makes for frightfully horrid reading; unclear and uninviting. I hope Singer soundly rectifies this, and synopsises in brief these grand concepts and forms.

Thank you. I don’t plan reading into Hegel afterward. His contributions are valuable, but his systematising I do not relish - particularly when much of his terminology hinges on subjective vocabulary. So many people claim interpretations on him because he did or could not communicate his ideas clearly. His thought splintered out like shrapnel from a bullet, and all thereafter claimed to understand the his original point of shooting; his real ideas. Imo Hegel worsened the state of philosophical debate by he entirely reshaping the discipline. I am with Schopenhauer in my view of him.
