Why is it so hard to understand philosophy?

So I’m not a philosophy reader but I recently gave it a chance by trying to read Jack Reynolds’ “existentialism” in which he explains Heidegger’s, Sartre’s, De Beauvoir and Marleau-Ponty’s ideas. It’s a heavy read and not easy to understand at all. Why can’t he just explain it in simple terms? It annoys me to some extent.

> Why is it so hard to understand philosophy?

Because the ideas discussed in philosophy are hard to understand. Viz., they are ideas people are not used to thinking or talking about at all, they are ideas whose consideration requires people to set aside the conventional attitudes which are the basis for most of their thinking, they are ideas pertaining to technical concepts where specificity of language and concise reference to rich debates and ideas are a necessity, etc.
