I highly doubt many world leaders have time to read. Or am I just unaware of what goes on in their lives? The 20th century had more literary-focused world leaders, but I can see Xi reading Shakespeare because China loves the Bard.

Somehow I get the idea that you don't actually understand Hegel, if you're just calling him "empty concept-peddling". Same for Heidegger. Calling Hegel that is understandable, but Heidegger? Absolutely you don't know much about him. I agree that Hegel led to a lot of empty concept building, especially those after him who tried to completely join Hegelianism and Christianity.

Schopenhauer seems to me to ultimately fall into a blindness as to the historical nature of that which he talks. The concepts he used to talk about art are thoroughly situated in his current period, but he projects them over all of history.
