Plan of Study: Foundations of Existentialism and Marxism

“Learn to love slow progress, and forgive yourself for the inevitable backsliding.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

(1749-1832)

Friedrich Schiller

(1759-1805)

Søren Kierkegaard

(1813-1855)

Arthur Schopenhauer

(1788-1860)

Georg Simmel

(1858-1918)

Max Weber

(1864 -1920)

Georg Lukács 

(1885-1971)

Antonio Gramsci

(1891-1937)

Noticeably missing from this list are members of the Frankfurt School (Adorno, Benjamin, etc.). After reading multiple of their works, I’m done trying to appreciate them. I find them unnecessarily obtuse. I’m also done with Kafka and Dostoevsky for now.
