>>26206it's hard to get hegel if you don't get Kant, not the phenomena noumena Kant, the real shit, the critiques, and some Fichte too. This is the bare minimum I think, but after that, you can always check why Kant was so revolutionary, by checking Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hume, Wolff, etc. And after that, you could go back to Plato and Aristotle, Plotinus and Proclus, or wherever you want.
