How some philosophers could be fooling you

In this video we summarize some academic papers that spell out stratagems that some continental philosophers could be guilty of utilizing to create a fake aura of profundity. These techniques range from the use of obscurantist language to the incorporation of epistemic defense mechanisms in their conceptual frameworks, equivocating definitions, and employing the motte and bailey fallacy. The papers referenced explicitly call out philosophers of the caliber of Foucault, Heidegger, Derrida and Sartre.
