I think I'll bookmark this whole answer as to why I think academic philosophy is now useless to people who are interested in uncovering interesting new philosophical ideas instead of pursuing a vacuous style of hermeticism. I think I disagree with every of the statements you make. But as all I have to provide are arguments devoid of any stylistic essence, so much more embued with the properties to distinguish greats thought about philosophy, I think I'll just abstain.

Philosophy is literature. It is absolutely beyond me why you think literature must be (1) dry and without style, (2) written in the logical system you favour. I'm not saying philosophy is invalid if devoid of style, I'm just saying that philosophy with style is just as good, if not better - because it communicates its ideas via another dimension too.
