It would very much so...

I find my mind not very receptive to his theories on spirit, reason, consciousness, etc. - most probably because I've already found my truth about them in other ways - not necessarily through systematic, elaborate reasoning or thinking, but through something personal, intangible yet lived, say... faith. But I greatly admire his logical approach when applied to other matters. I mean, we see how Marx utilised him. I'm only reading him because I'm trying to understand Marx better... Or so I hoped :-)

Good approach. Please don't neglect to read Engels as well as Marx; I find his ideas more appealing, for example, because they are more realistic and honest.

Oh. Thanks for bringing him up. I never would have thought to read his individual works beyond what he co-authored with Marx. Is he not particularly well-known among Germans as well? :-)
