Is there even a point reading someone who came before him?
He covers the whole of philosophy, mentions everythings important other thinkers wrote, criticizes everythings he thinks others had wrong (with reasons) and adds his own unique insights.

Started reading WWR.
Foreword:
>hey guys, before you start I have to tell you somethings
>to really get this book you have to read it twice
>also i published "On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason" 5 years earlier and is required reading to really get this book...i really didn't want to write everything again in other words, so pls go read that
>ah also the first chapter of "On Vision and Colours"...pls read
>other than that...to really appreciate me, go read kant, he's like the best since 2000 years, so i just assume you read him
>altough he's so great i discovered some errors in his philosophy, i wrote it in the appendix. pls read that twice too
>and yeah also read plato ok?
>ok and it would be could if you also read the vedas
>if you do all this you will really understand me
