That's interesting, I found Kant to be a lot easier to read than Nietzsche.
But maybe that's because Kant's philosophy is much more in line with mine (nice rhyme).
The Critique is extremely difficult, but a lot of that has to do with Kant's style, and invention of terms, on top of reading it in translation.
Nietzsche (even in translation) is one of my favourite writers. Which is a bit odd tbh.
Pretty much, although I'd only consider Dawkins a philosopher if the words "fucking awful" precede it.Oh, I happened to have a chat with a famous philosopher in my country and I asked him what his favourite philosophers would be. He named Dawkins and Sagan among others and I replied "But they're not philosophers". I got schooled after that statement
But I'm still left wondering who can be labeled a philosopher then. Is it, because I write a book that delves into philosophy I am a philosopher?
