According to the great alchemist Heidegger "becoming intelligible is suicide for philosophy" (When the purpose of philosophy is precisely the opposite. It is to make reality more intelligible. As I once said here, philosophy, as Plato understood it, can be summed up in the act of looking at reality and say what it is. Usually when a philosopher becomes unintelligible it's because he's hiding something.)
