Maybe a change of speed would help ?
I sometimes read a book (De Anima by Aristotle, or something by Nietzsche) in slow motion and with the tone of the voice of a ghost speaking from the beyond. Thus words and their meanings have time to sink into my consciousness. The brain can process the meanings and every now and then you understand something.

If there is anything worthwhile in the text, then it is not possible to understanding it through speed reading.
But so much of what is contained in philosophy books is clever regurgitation. Good writers can repeat themselves by not saying exactly the same thing again and again.
