Why aren't you reading the best XXth century French philosopher ?
>Catholic and monarchist >agregated in philosophy at 23 >liked Aquinas a lot >translated and commented Plato, Dante, Blake, Poe, Chesterton >BTFO the fuck out of Sartre in one of his book >BRFOed Deleuze & Guattari in an other one >liked to do arm wrestling while quoting Plato, Dante, Pound >banned from the education system in France until he was 51 because he insulted de Gaulle >Lacan, Deleuze and all the clique were butthurt as fuck because he got the Metaphysics chair in la Sorbonne >destroyed Hegel with Vico >said that Wilde is a disgusting fag >fucked a lot of hoes >liked Proudhon, Pareto, Sorel and Sowell >father of the guy who made the documentary "Deleuze from A to Z"
Les Abeilles de Delphes / La Source Sacrée is great for literary critic and as an introduction to his oeuvre since it also contains texts on theology and political thinkers ;
Sartre est-il un possédé ? is a small yet very good pamphlet against the sartrian thought ;
If you understang French, I'd suggest you to also watch this presentation of a memoirs book by one of his students youtube.com/watch?v=uTshvNiADGQ
Cheers, I get the feeling 90% of Catholic/Right wing french philosophers are obscured to the English speaking world. If there's anyone else you could recommend I would be grateful

Really underrated, indeed. Hopefully, he'll be rediscovered once the academia forgets about hacks like Deleuze, Foucault and Derrida.

>Catholic and monarchist Interesting. What about monarchy that he values over other political systems, especially in the 20th century?
>agregated in philosophy at 23 Yeah. So what?
>liked Aquinas a lot I expect theologicians to like Aquinas a lot. It would be strange if it was the contrary.
>translated and commented Plato, Dante, Blake, Poe, Chesterton Cool. Probably not the authorative translations of those texts though.
>BTFO the fuck out of Sartre in one of his book >BRFOed Deleuze & Guattari in an other one >destroyed Hegel with Vico Hmm... can you summarize his arguments for us? Because without that there's no point asserting that.
>liked to do arm wrestling while quoting Plato, Dante, Pound >banned from the education system in France until he was 51 because he insulted de Gaulle Sounds like a character of a comedy I was reading earlier. There was a girl that liked to quote Pound while her ass was being eaten too.
It's boring me...

Y so picky?

its only fitting when op is portraying him as a quasi-mythical figure.
