I had no trouble with Nietzsche. I don't say that as a brag on my abilities, as I had the devil's own time wrapping my brain around Hegel for instance. I just seemed to slide naturally into Nietzsche's style and concepts. As non-PC and possibly scary as it is to say, I found "Beyond Good and Evil" to be one of the single most incisively true reads I've had in my life.
Aristotle continues to amaze me. It's mind-boggling that someone could be so demonstrably wrong and yet have had such a pervasive influence over so great a period. I guess it is the most famous case of arriving at the wrong decision through the right methodology.
Kant, I wish I'd read more Kant. I spent so much more time on the Relgious Studies side of the curriculum in earnign a degree in philosophy that I do not have astrong enough grounding in Kant and a few others. *shrug* I'll read him some day.
