It also doesn't help that because he was writing in German, there are these kind of compound phrase-words that are extremely hard to translate into English (because he is essentially making up new words in German). The closest English equivalent is kind of how I do it which is to just put dashs between things (such as phrase-word) but even that isn't an exact representation, at least according to my friend who is fluent in German and has read Hegel.

He also deliberately engages in using these phrase-words for a long time in a purely metaphorical sense, before going 'actually I meant all of this literally, now go back and read the last 100 pages with that in mind, despite me giving you no indication that that was the case prior in the text.' And then in the next section he will use something extremely literally before going, 'lol jk it was a metaphor the whole time.'

And it is extremely easy to miss that change if your eyes have glazed over from reading Hegel too long. Which is why you can kind of argue about it forever.

Truely infuriating writing style
