who cares how he looks. He was genius, this coming from someone who is certainly not a Kantian, Kant's thought was revolutionary and shouldn't be written off because of his face. If you really like philosophy, you should read the first critique.

I love him so much. He's like an old cartoon character. A little genius with extremely bizarre habits and a comedy manservant to act as the straight man (although I imagine him to be no taller than Kant, and that they both walk together at a fast speed like in an old buster keaton film)

This always seemed like a very odd and iconic abgle. do we know why the painter pained in this "looking slightly down and to the side" angle?

From what I remember, conventions were rather strong on how you were portrayed oin art, and this seems pretty out of left field. looks cool though.

Kant was not fugly (see pic related), that's just a bad painting done when he was very old (at that point, I think, he had lost most of his teeth, which was a normal thing for old people in the 18th century).

Also in his youth and maturity he had multiple occasions to marry beautiful women, but he always delayed the affair because he had never been sure wether he could financially support a family. Kuehn in his biography says that in that period it was a fairly common concern for intellectuals who were born into non-noble families. Also remember that in Kant's time there was no tenure track, so his earning (up to his 70s, when he got a more stable position in the uni's senate, which was usually reserved for senior scholars) depended on how many people would decide to show up to his lectures, which is to say, it was unstable to say the least (Fichte and Hegel will too suffer tremendous financial strains for this very reason for their whole lives - institutions didnt give a shit about great scholars who were not indipendently wealthy).

This is the way it should be. Look what became of the humanities in modern academia. Tenure corrupts.

No ones judging his genius and greatness based on his looks you nerd. It's just interesting to see what he looked like, because the human face and body is meaningful, and does indeed say something about a person.

Just for personal pleasure, it's nice to be able to imagine him you bugman.
