LOL. Glad to see you in PS&P again BD. I'd love to say I've the time or motivation to read up on these heavyweight motherfuckers, but frankly, I don't. lol, it's probably not helped by the fact you keep suggesting 'fuck ______' or '______ was a prick' (I kid).

TBH, I admire anyone who take take their works to heart. I've been reading 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius recently and have read into Jung a little but I find their work pretty heavy going and hard to digest.

To me, Jung doesn't read unnaturally or anything and some of his works are really good. He just seems to flip between really practical, concrete psychology and (for me) unpalatable nonsense about the I Ching and synchronicity and so on. It's interesting stuff, but I do wonder whether it's really worth a psychiatrist's time to spend half a lifetime reading old alchemical texts.

I find most really great thinkers are actually relatively clear in their writing style and I tend to be suspicious of really impenetrable stuff, but there are definitely cases when someone's theories are fantastic and they're just bad writers. Especially Kant.
