If you classify western philosophers by what they led with, I think it is: Epistemology-first: Spinoza, Descartes, Hume, Kant Ontology-first: Hegel, Marx, Heidegger Phenomenology-first: Nietzche, Husserl, Arendt Treating these as stocks I think E is down, O is up, P is up a lot

In general, I like to stay vaguely aware of various traditions that claim turf around my interests, in case I get into fights, but tbh I mostly ignore them. The benefit of saved time and risk of repeating old mistakes are both lower than risk of getting bogged down in other heads

From Harman or QM? How about Latour? Can be an infuriating writer but there's a lot going on with actor-network theory.

I like Latour better, but again, as in most cases of relations to existing work, I find the effort of accessing it is almost never worth it, and reinventing wheels for myself is both more productive and more fun. Luxury of non-academic life is ignoring intellectual neighbors
