Tangential, but can anyone eli5 this field of philosophy (the non generated form)? I recognize names like Lacan and Zizek but can't get far enough through the verbal cruft to interpret anything.
Part of the reason why these people originally wrote in such a strange way was because they wanted to try and write without applying the traditional categories and modes of thought we've all been raised with.
Disclaimer: I'm not qualified to tell you this and you shouldn't listen to me. I'd welcome correction from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
Of course, actually reading Nietzsche or something would be better but that's not really an ELI5.
