Except he's not saying what Kant says. At least from the page you posted he seems to argue in favor of innate notions which we must have in order to properly experience things.
Kant argues in favor of a formal structure of mind according to which experience is build. This structure has no content in itself - it is not composed of notions, and therefore it cannot be known if not in the way it builds experience, that is, inseparably from the brute content of intuition that it organizes. It is the same as saying that you can know the law of gravity in a universe without masses: you need for the law to be active in the organization of its contents to be knowable, which means that it is not a notion in the common sense of the term, i.e. we have no "innate" knowledge for Kant.

Traditionally, frog philosophers are outsiders. This makes them like the Anglos, as opposed to Germany or Ancient Greece where every decent philosopher had tons of followers (partly) because they had students.
Or at least, that's what I heard. But I think it kinda makes sense. Who could teach their own philosophy among dozens of students? Not Rousseau, not Sartre, not Pascal; not Hume, not Hobbes; but Plato and Aristotle did, and Kant and Hegel and their friends, and also the whole gang of American shit-talking philosophers along the 20th century (sadly).
