Re: O Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable

On the minus side for Kant: unreadable.

"I saw that courageous and bright minds have gained mastery of my Critique despite its thorny paths... These worthy men have that happy combination of thorough insight with a talent for lucid exposition (the very talent that I am not aware of in myself)..." (2nd edition Preface, Critique of Pure Reason).

I always admire Kant for admitting up front what others transform into a philosophical issue, with greater or lesser justificaction.
