Daniel Dennett is still the only modern philosopher I know of that is capable of explaining his ideas to non-philosophers without it devolving into meaningless(to me) babble, or even worse, an endless cataloguing of all the possible views one could hold on something, along with their names.

Who are some examples of the type of modern philosopher you mean?

  Not OP, and it depends on how 'modern' (or alive) fits the bill, but Heidegger is pretty impenetrable as a novice.

    Agreed. I assume OP meant 'contemporary' but I'm genuinely curious who they had in mind.
