holy fuck this shit is so boring. can i skip and go straight to aurelius, spinoza or schiller? if not then i'll just go back to reading french surrealist literature of the late 19c early 20c. far more interesting

Found the problem. Just read what you want to read. Don't listen to these idiot philistines who screech "MUH GREEKS, MUH GREEKS." If you are capable of understanding Kant, you can do so without appreciating his "subtle" (not actually) references to Aristotle, because these contribute nothing to the strictly logical framework of e.g. Critique of Pure Reason. Most of these "start with the Greeks" chowderheads couldn't ingest Kant if he were literally throat-fucking them.
