The SW&D Intellectual Masturbation Station

If you think the Big H is long-winded, you should try Sloterdijk...

I dont think Heidegger is the worst offender at all. It seems that most who have followed in the Cartesian tradition (including many who supposedly refute it) have to mangle the English language (or French or German) to complete their version of the puzzle which is a "full" account of the nature of the universe or of knowledge (their own "tower"). I find Neitzsche refreshing because, he makes no claim to offering a complete system and he uses language that, while less rigorous, seems to make points with more impact, spontanaiety, and humor.

i think question concerning technology is probably heidegger's most digestible work. age of the world picture is also a really good read. i mean, obviously he has his magnum opus but in all honestly, unless you're a grad student of some sort (and even if then), it's not really worth it (and same goes for hegel)
