Probably some ideas pertaining to a pure phenomenology and to a phenomenological philosophy

Why do philosophers have such terrible fucking prose
Or why do translators of philosophy into English have terrible prose
Either one.
What is thet greatest prose in English for Philosophy totally regardless of the specific philosophy and beliefs of its writer

Probably Hobbes, I absolutely love the way he writes, and his correspondences are just laden with insults which are pretty funny. Some of his lines are so quotable. From memory:

'A person like you isn't even fit to listen to a conversation on the subject of philosophy, never mind partake in one.'

[quotes an obscure scholastic passage] 'Who can tell me what these words mean? Is there anyone on earth who can comprehend their meaning?'

Hobbes is fucking hilarious, he's almost like a 16th century real life Ignatius Reilly

Does anyone have the post where the anon talks about how he dedicated his entire college career to being a Husserl scholar and now he has to work at a Wendy's?

The best prose is by Carlyle and it isn’t remotely close. The reason they’re often so terrible is that they’re only judged on their ability to think and not to get across their teaching. There should be higher aesthetic standards for philosophy.
>>25333966
So much of Hobbes can be extremely tedious though because he repeats himself so much.

Husserlanon eventually became a teacher

>WHAT is this nigga even trying to say
even he clearly didn't know seeing as he felt the need to write like 5 different introductions to phenomenology because he kept changing his mind on things. just do neoplatonism and be done with philosophy.

There does seem to be something immediately ridiculous about his project, but it’s his fidelity to that fundamental act of tolerating a certain quantum of ridicule that seems to give all the analyses the power and strength of conviction. He’s absolutely dedicated to the perfect philosophy. Does he think it’s possible?
