    Recently I’ve read a short story where the main character relies on an unconventional approach to reach a specific objective, even if it costs him more time and requires more experimentation. The reason behind his choice is that, for him, the tested approach feels like a chore, but nevertheless he is determined to accomplish that goal. He basically channels his efforts in an alternative way to purse an objective that many have already achieved with a more traditional method. Has any philosopher ever written something related to this?

    I originally was going to post: Has any philosopher ever written something related to WHAT?

    I couldn't make sense of the predicate to your question.

    But if you meant..."leaving someone wondering what the writer is talking about"...the actual answer is: Several.


    Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Kant, and Hegel all come to mind. One can read a paragraph by any of them...and re-read it a half-dozen times...and wonder, "What the hell does that mean."
