If PG's writing is "pseudo intellectual philosophy" I wonder what true intellectual philosophy looks like.
Looking at other comments in this thread, I get the impression that people have this ideal of an essay that looks like an academic paper, that starts with a literature review.
But that is not how writing and thought naturally flows.
People write like this to suck up to the right people who might help them get a job as an assistant professor somewhere, or tenure or maybe just cite their own papers in return.

I find it repulsive.
