is longwindedness and obscurantism essential elements of a philosophical text?

>> No.11121254

No. Plato, Hume, for instance wrote very lucidly. Doesn't mean though that longwinded is worse, some people just aren't great prose stylists.

Is Schopenhauer the philosopher with the clearest writing?

I suspect he tried very hard to write clearly because he hated Hegel so much.

No, it's because he received his early education in England and his writing was influenced by Hume.

Descartes and Russell were very clear writiers too.

Nah, but there is a curve between conceptual depth and succinctness. A good write can increasingly bridge this gap with vivid prose
