Wittgenstein intrigues me (as a character) but I'm not quite interested in analytic phil. Is there any point diving into the Tractatus anyway?

Can I read pic related instead of B+T and still get Heidegger? iirc it's a series of lectures he gave on it some years after that are more accessible and well written.

Is Whitehead as impenetrable as he's made out to be?

Is post-postmodernism a meme? If not then is postmodernism still worth studying? How well does the study of either of these intersect with film theory?

Does the problem of qualia add anything meaningful that the ancients hadn't already discussed?

What part of 20th century philosophy is useful to me if I'm strictly not a materialist or Marxist?

Is there any branch of modern philosophy (not strictly philology or anthropology mind you, but philosophy,) that concerns itself with Platonism or empirical mysticism of any sort? Algis Uzdavinys being an example.

Apologies if any of these questions don't make sense, I'm fairly unfamiliar with this part of philosophy. Coming from the grand metaphysical projects of the early moderns, Kant, and Schopenhauer this stuff seems very different honestly. I feel that modern philosophy is far more self-referential and obscurantist, and over-emphasises sociological phenomena. All things I have an inherent distaste for.
