only 700 pages for that conclusion may seem a little few... I can understand that... but his arguments are strong

Very retarded interpretation of the text. It's like saying that Aristotle's Physics boils down to "things move". Truly a worthless banalization

He is talking about Kant's moral philosophy, not his theoretical one – (and even then, the critique is not apt considering how unintuitive many of Kant's precepts, e.g. the one on lying, are to the common man – oddly enough Kant would have agreed with Nietzsche here, since he thought that his moral law was already present in every rational entity, but I think this was mostly due to his autism). Transcendental philosophy is 100% contrary to common sense, especially the common sense of his time. The dude is a late 18th century german academic, most of his colleagues actually believed in the possibility of rational psychology, cosmology and theology

Non the less the guy was legend. I feel like home while reading him. He saved us from 200 years of mental gymnastics.

I can confirm, currently using Hegel and Schelling as meds.

Kant’s practical philosophy is barely separable from his epistemology, the former follows from the latter naturally, he even says thay in the Prefaces and Introductions of his First Critique. Yes, Transcendental philosophy is not at the reach of the average person, that’s why Nietzsche says he wrote for scholars, that he wanted to prove in a way that would dumbfound the world. Kant literally wants to cofine ourselves back to experience, giving metaphysical concepts like God, soul the same place as they are given by common people, that is, not in metaphysical theoretical speculations.

You can't know the position of every atom on earth so you can't know for sure what happens next. you can't even know why the laws of nature exist.

Prof I had once told us how he thought Kant was overrated while glowing about the "sunny optimism" of classical Greek philosophy, and then shilled his book in the middle of a lecture on St. Augustin iirc.
