The philosophy section at my nearest bookshop consists of whatever ends up on two otherwise spare shelves between Popular Science and a syncretic clusterfuck of New Age self-help and Satanic Bibles titled 'Mind, Body and Spirit'.

I found Hegel in the latter section, but Russell, Wittgenstein and Hume all appeared under Philosophy. Ideology at its purest.

Sounds like my kind of bookshop.

I was looking for Susan Sonntags essays in my library - they had been shelved between erotic fiction books for women.

Oh no, introductory philosophy material in a library

The horror

>>7453461
In all fairness, 'Phenomenology of Spirit' do has an esoteric tint to it, if at least for the common mind.

I mean the title, not the book per se.
