As I was looking for some articles on Socrates' Apology I came across this site http://www.friesian.com
It's run by a retired Neo-Kantian philosophy professor. The views are derived from a tradition of Kant, Schopenhauer, Jakob Friedrich Fries (I've tried looking for his works but it's practically impossible to find any in English), Leonard Nelson, Jung, Popper, and Hayek. The guy typically hates Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Hegel, Marx and probably some more, basically all of /lit/'s beloved. He's also a libertarian.

What's your take on it? Any Neo-Kantians here with a similar or opposite view?

Here are a few interesting links:

Some of the articles are really good, I should add. The one on Socrates' Apology was a fresh perspective to read.

This kind of politicizing, filtered, "all-or-nothing" approach to reading individual philosophers is so painfully typical of libertarians, and one of the main reasons many of them stop being libertarians before they turn 20.

yeah his understanding of leftism and worship of the free market is infantile but he has some good stuff

Only delve into Geometric charts if you're ready to be frightened.

His page on Wittgenstein is very long and thorough, you should read it.
