That's unkind.

He's a little dense and flowery. Also wrote in a language he wasn't completely fluent in.

Short History of Decay is interesting tho.

He is a lot easier to understand than any other French philosophical thinker of the time. As long as you understand what parts of his view he inherited from Lev Shestov he is a lot easier to understand. People are always want to place him under Nietzsche but they are both really different outside of their form.

You'll be dead within a few decades, on the outside. In view of this, reconsider whether originality is the most critically important attribute of a philosophy, or the relevance of simple, truthful observation.

His aphorisms are A+.

Don't know why he bothered with a lot of his essays, though. His poeticisms are a little abstruse.
