I thought you people were memeing when you said Hume was a fantastic writer. I'm blown away with how well this is written. What other philosophers, bar Plato, have prose of this caliber?

Nietzsche desu. Hate the philosophy if you want (though that would make you a pleb), but his writing is top-tier.

This.

Schopenhauer was very much influenced by Hume's prose and wanted to write German how Hume wrote English.

Nietzsche
