If existence is not a predicate, then how do we talk about things that exist in fiction or imagination?

Be honest, did you finish it, and if so, was it worth it?

Hi, /lit/, newfag here. Should I start with epistemology?

Was it autism?

How am I supposed to know what I think about this if I have not read it?

Just finished the first part of this and all I can say is:

FUCKING EMBARRASSING.

Oh jeez, there's like butter all over the floor man

I know the Guyer/Wood translation is the go-to, but it costs about 5x as much as the others so I'm wondering if I'll miss much by just picking up the Max Muller penguin book. I don't want to spend $40 on a paperback if there's any way to avoid it.

Is his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding enough?

Also will Kant be more difficult than Spinoza's Ethics was?

I'm not studying philosophy. Is there anything I should read before I tackle this book? Do I stand a chance of understanding at least the gist of it without a few years of study under my belt? I've always seen it as one of the behemoths of philosophical works so I'm a bit intimidated, but I want to try anyway. Should I also read Critique Of Practical Reason or is that one not as essential? Any advise?

I've read Aristotle's Metaphysics, if it helps.
