i did it for the same reasons and am going through it very slowly. its difficult but if youre careful its actually not impossible. the commentary in the back helps a lot too

>>16476689
I remember getting PoS and having no idea what Hegel was talking about. But then I got the CPR and read some of the German Idealists, and now I get most of what he's saying. Feels pretty good.

>>16476689
Don't.

>>16476689
good don't read it, your iq is too low

Take notes on each section

No one judges you on your bookshelf...that only happens in "shelf threads" because a lot of anons are losers and need to compensate.
I've gone to friends's houses. They know I like to read. They don't give me frantic looks when we pass by their bookshelf. I don't care if they have a bunch of YA fantasy or Stephen KANG on their shelf. They don't care either. Stop acting like a pseud. If you think others look at your shelf and judge you by the titles there, then you're the pseud and you buy books based on how they will look on your shelf.

iq isn't real. read taleb.

Like buying a single bed. Oh god what are they going to think about me...

>>16476741
Taleb is a fucking nazi and you're an incompetent faggot who has literally never been over to someone's house as an adult

I'm slightly autistic.

>I want to buy Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit so I can read it

You lost me there

>he has friends
>in the plural
>he visits them

it's okay, being autistic preserves the liberal propaganda that being smart means being stupid. The issue is is when you break out of the disgusting majority mold and everyone has to face that their liberal propaganda doesn't work and everyone can't be a genius subjectively in 500 dimension 3000 x quotient measurements. You're a nazi you just promoted naziism

Go to gen.lib.rus.ec, download the book, try reading a chapter or two. If you don't understand it, just ask back here for prerequisites and if you do, just get the physical edition.

>>16476689
just get a used copy, then it'll look like you've read it whether you've actually read it or not.
That said if people see the phenomenology on your bookshelf they'll think that you're a poser either way, because no normal person would read anything by hegel

>>16476842
Normalfags have no idea who Hegel even is.

>>16476689
easy solution:
Buy the book, and hide it. Then keep reading it at your own pace until you finally get it and then put it on your shelf.

>>16477562
What if someone finds the hidden book?

>>16476689
Stop letting what you think other people might think about what you think stop you from living your fucking life the way you want!!!!!

>>16476689
Nobody understand it once. You have to read it 6 times to understand it.

>>16476689
Just read the free out of copywrite google books version online you fool.

>I want to buy

Read Schopenhauer instead, not that charlatan Hegel
