I remember a year ago some anon wanted to read Das Kapital. He started a thread asking what should read before the actual Das Kapital. I took note from all the tips. So I already read "The essence of christianity" by Ludwig Feuerbach and "Phenomenology of spirit" by Hegel. But problem is that Kant's "Critique of pure reason" can rarely be found in where I live. My question is can I start reading Das Kapital without Kant?
Kant's Pure Reason can be found for less than £5 online.

Wow, gee thanks for the insight.
>although my question was entirely different
>>7581183
i'd say thatyou kant

Now that you've been rude, nobody will answer you.
>>7581335
Sure, and providing answer to a question that has not been asked is not.
>>7581347
you implied that the reason you kant read kant is because you kant get it where you live
if he gives you a suggestion as to where you kan get your hands on it that's not unrelated
>>7581357
His advice is complete garbage and useless for a third world country.And if I'm asking wether it's a problem or not to read it without this implies that reaching Kant is impossible for me.

so pirate the ebook
you might not even have to pirate it, it's probably on gutenberg
unless you're a nork or in china i can't imagine it'd be impossible

Although you only need to have read the Phenomenology to understand Kapital, your understanding of the Phenomenology is likely incomplete if you didn't read Kant first. What you should really do is read Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, then the Critique of Pure Reason, then the Phenomenology, then the Essence of Christianity, then Grundrisse, then Das Kapital.

THANK YOU
This is exactly what i wanted I will take note from all your suggestions. Never knew /lit/ is the new /b/ though.
Lol... should have read Ricardo, Smith and a thorough macroeconomic textbook to be honest. Outside of the lordship and bondage section in phenomenology what you should have read was philosophy of right and lectures on the philosophy of history.
Furbach and the German Ideology would have been good. What the hell do you need Kant for?

Everything listed after CPR is rubbish
Just about to read vol. 1 and so I'm also interested in the prereq reading...
Why kant and the phenomenology?
Why Hume and such?
Does it directly lead or is this just another start with the greeks meme that /lit /b's itself with
>>7581459
you seem to know moreso what youre talking about. Any recommendations for a good macroeconomic book that isnt 200$ ?
>>7581475
The philosophy backtrail this shit generates as much as it requires.
It's like looking at a pretty painting. Without the brushstrokes and influences you can't spot shit.

Snowden Modern Macro, sorry about price.

Just read das capital already
why are you reading so much shit you dont even need
marx isn't hard what the fuck are you doing
>>7583317
Kek
This.
In fact you don't "need" other authors to understand one author. It is always preferable to know where shit comes from, etc. PREFERABLE.
tl;dr OP, much /lit/ is bad for your brain.
>>7584058
You guys are alright. I think I would just start reading Marx right away.
