Writing styles @Tom Storm
Hume,schop and bishop Berkley I found as very clear writers. ( Ditto Orwell!)
I do get that some might not get much from Nietzsche because of his exaggeration and polemical style,which may be off putting. But he is concise and reasonably clear,especially his works from 1886 to 1888. I always found him very worthwhile because of his psychology of religion and politics.
I agree with Foucault about Derrida,but foucault also writes badly,Ditto Husserl. But all 3 have great insights.
The insight needed is ones Intuition. I persevered with some of the waffle show off types by reading their main ideas and ignoring their justifications and long winded explanations.
I think the phrase obscurantist terrorism is indeed true,like politicians or priests trying to appear profound. And because of this I exercise my discretion.One has to believe in oneself! It's often the writer not the reader who is at fault. We don't need to defer because of reputation.
