| Buddha, Chuang Tzu or Jesus are not philosophers like Hegel, Kant. If you read Hegel the meaning has to be discovered. It is very arduous, as if Hegel is making every effort to make it as difficult for you as possible, weaving words around words, making everything riddle-like. So when you first encounter Hegel he will look superb, a very high peak, but the more you penetrate and the more you understand, the less he becomes. The day you understand him, he is just useless... --Osho The Empty Boat, ch. 11 |
