Is Hegel Difficult?

Hagel's philosophy attempts to encompass, literally everything. And he writes in a very intense and hard to parse out way. We can try to think through this a little bit sothin entering into the phenomenology of spirit. Hegel is so venerated among so many different strands of philosophy that it can give you the impression that he's just free styling a and just coming up with it off the top of his head. But no, he put in a whole lot of work to even get all this stuff out.
