I have just had lunch at "The Sunny Doll" (Japanese) with old friends Henningham and Croucher. For nearly two hours the very lively conversation ranged widely over the Western intellectual tradition -- from Aristotle, though Aquinas to Wittgenstein. All three of us take an interest in such arcana.
The depth of our knowledge on each varies but we all knew enough about them to find them interesting and discussable I did a major in philosophy in my student days so I was at something of an advantage.
There were even discursions into theology, with one of my favorite doctrines -- the Trinity -- coming under critical scrutiny. I guess it would all be impossibly obscure to many but we enjoyed it
