If you mean formal clarity, Leibniz.
If you mean 'can be read as first philosophical book', Epictetus.

>>15256326
Schopenhauer is extremely straightforward. He is by far the simplest German to read. Still his writings are 60% schizo and 40% based.

Plato is deceptively easy to read, but is actually the master of complex puzzles. Almost every field in philosophy begins with Plato (unless you want to make an argument for Heraclitus or the Eleatics).

>>15256326
You need Kant and Plato to understand Schoppy, and you need every major modern to understand Kant. Worth the effort, though.

Linguistically speaking, Plato is easy to read, but it still requires your 100% focus and brainpower to get it. Otherwise you’re just reading words. You have to be able to read a paragraph and be able to assess the entire passage simultaneously. If it were a task for a computer, you still would need a GPU to run it. A CPU wouldn’t cut it
