Is there a proposed "curriculum" or can someone recommend something like that? Basically I'm looking to see if there's a recommended list of theory books ordered in a way that would be intended to go from one to the next? I downloaded the Mega file of theory and I'm familiar with some archive sites of books/essays. But I find I'm at kind of a loss on where to start. Sometimes the author is responding to a previously written work, and sometimes I start something where it feels like I missed a prerequisite book.
It doesn't help that I don't have great reading comprehension and definitely struggle with 1800s English language terms. I'm aware that there's a lot of variety in theory and thought within "the left" but I'm having a really tough time navigating it.
Sorry for the lib framework of this question, any help is greatly appreciated!
if you’re starting with hegel then you might as well start with hume -> kant -> hegel so you understand the whole frame of the issue discussed
Fuck it just start with Socrates
well i suppose but hume sort of is an organic beginning, the only thing really before him in this line is like descartes and locke and berkeley
new train of thought completely
fuck socrates anyway and his “noble lie”
he did lowkey practice a form of dialectics though
thats fair.
