Marxism, reading theory brought me to Historical and Dialectical Materialism, which also brought me to researching the foundations that led up to Marxism that Marx built off of.

Would you say Hegel is worth reading. How do you think it affected your understanding of Marxism?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Haven't read Hegel proper, if your goal is to understand Marxism then Elementary Principles of Philosophy is my recommendation. It goes over Idealism, Dialectics, Materialism, and then how they came to form Dialectical and Historical Materialism.
