So Schopi was told to focus on plato and kant, but that can't have been all he read to produce his works, are you telling me he understood kant with just plato beforehand? Wut?

What does the word focus mean to you. He gave special attention to P and K, but if you read his texts you find out he was extremely versed in philosophy

That's what happens when you connect your mind to the pure contemplation of truth, in fact you don't even need to read Kant to understand him better than he understood himself (see Eastern philosophy).

He read the Marahbarata and the Bible obviously.

He studied lots of German philosophy (startkng from Leibniz, Wolff and Baumgarten and ending with his contemporaries) for his PhD. It is very likely that later in life he caught up with the rest of the literature (it is unlikely that this happened before his 30s, since most of his early adulthood was spent studying the natural sciences of his time)
