He's great, but aside from his philosophy itself the important thing that makes me one of my favourite is the fact that he's very engaging. Even if you don't agree with him on everything he will help you develop your thought both in a philosophical and in a practical way. His philosophy isn't a machine in the void. There is something for everyone here, I had a phil prof that was the typical pomo feminist and she still thought the guy was a genius like we rarely see.

ebin meme fren, why don't you try genuinely reading him? It'll change you of the "top 10 philosophers who were chads" videos you probably watch.
>>17350733
Very nice taste! There's not enough love for Apollinaire on this board. That being said putting Bradbury in the top short stories writers is surprising. The guy isn't bad, but isn't really special either imo

I learned Norwegian specifically to read him. Brand (Geoffrey Hill translation) is an excellent start. I believe Penguin has an edition that also includes his Peer Gynt. The so-called “realist cycle” or whatever doesn’t really give a good impression (on first read) of how strange he really is. Emperor and Galilean would give you a good idea of what his ambitions truly were
