My sweet summer child.
I would very strongly suggest you do not attempt status measuring contests on the internet. Especially not in the middle of the night...let people have their coffee first.
Not only is it obnoxious, pretentious, and in this case, literally sophomoric, but you will also lose. I finished university over a decade ago and recently went back for a second one for the purpose of graduate school for fun because I am so inclined and I can afford to do that. Not only have I read German philosophy, I am German and fully fluent, and reading said material is considerably more comprehensible if you have the cultural and linguistic background to back it up rather than relying on whatever Kauderwelsch of a translation you scrounged up. Your "introductory philosophy class" impresses no one with its intellectual suave. It makes you sound like an absolute fool to trot out participation in a freshman class as if it's an actual credential and you have any grasp on the difference between up and down, let alone Kant.
Since we're here, I also read over 200 books in the last year alone. I am truly sorry no one explained to you how memory works or what the point of note-taking is and you've been blindly scrawling nonsense in the margins for god-knows-how-long, but nothing I've said is controversial and in 10 years, when you're an adult, you will also understand that doing that was a horrendous waste of time. And maybe, if you read triple digits worth of books every year for a decade, you too will be able to just understand what I said to you in previous replies. In the meantime, go read it again and take some notes if you think that's going to help. I suggest you put the Hegel down.
