Philosophy - Top 10 most obscure Philosophers ever

my bad, the sartre slide has lacan in the pic, but it was intended for lacan, stupid moviemaker! I know that most of you will disagree with me on some of my remarks, but I might be mistaken.

[Samanmotlagh]

lacan should be number 1, hegel number 2.

[mrfatd]

thats damn true! the nonsense that old fool lacan scribbled is so obscure it makes hegel look like bertrand russell!!

[lilithirsch]

If you consider some of the most intelligable philosophers as "obscure" or "non-sense", perhaps philosophy is not for you ;-)

[DaveElectric]

I agree with Hegel and Derridia being obscure. The rest aren't THAT bad.

[sqmuth]

sentense? really?

[justfrancisko]

Life is obscure.Clear is death.

I find Heidegger a real mind f...

[Roastbeeflion]

@analyticaa mmh you can make a list indeed...

[SteauaBucuresti]

If you guys are simple-minded with a self-consciousness that won´t and can´t barricade any invincibile walls that sorrounds us all. Then obviously you´ll find great thinkers very obscure. Cause your existience in life is obscure.

The photos dont quite match the text... strange.

I didn't know Roger Scruton made spiteful youtube videos.

[eravulgachris]

@analyticaa In that case, don't blame the philosophers themselves but rather the translators. Almost everyone in your list wrote in your own language - a philosopher should have been able to deduce a pattern from that. Even Hegel, Kant and Husserl, read in German, are far more limpid than we are lead to believe. Not that Kant is in any way obscure.

@eravulgachris THANK YOU!!!

Hey guys! Sartre is not Lacan lol ! Et ce n'est pas parce que tu ne comprends pas ce qu'un auteur écrit qu'il est obscure. "Un livre est un miroir. Si un singe vient à s'y mirer, ce n'est évidemment pas l'image d'un apôtre qui va apparaître." Lichtenberg
