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.

>>7453539
The content has an esoteric tint nonetheless.
>>7453545
I didn't mean it as an offense.
>>7453517
