McDowell When I have read, I thought that he writes pretty bad. I read Peacocke (A study of concept) only to discover that even classes Peacocke writes worse than McDowell.
why I've been thinking who the worst (ie, at least understood) are writing authors, I have read so far in philosophy Sun Here are my top 5: 1st
Peacocke (writes extremely cumbersome and complicated, moreover, boring)
second McDowell (flowery and vague - arguments to find)
third Davidson (very vague, even to complicated)
4th Kant (the longest sentences I have ever read, except perhaps in 'Michael Kohlhaas' von Kleist)
5th Tarski (way too long and mathematically!)
Anyone else suggestions?
