How many Immanuel Kant's are there on this forum? One thing he was notorious for was his long dense passages and unuually obscure passages. calledoutPTL

Interesting question?

CO, i took a quiz on the internet about philosophy, and Kant's name came up as my answer, lol.

"One thing he was notorious for was his long dense passages and unuually obscure passages"

Hmm,,,, Was his name Doug?

Probably my name. calledoutPTL

Peter, I understand even Kant's colleagues who studied the text in the original German complained about its perplexing vagueness and ambiguity. LOL calledoutPTL

Vagueness and ambiguity are hallmarks of someone attempting to sound educated. Unless it is a politician caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar. Then it is to be expected.

Wisdom, or reason, needs minimal words to convey understandable facts.

The best writers discard filler words so each word left creates maximum impact.

Doug, nothing personal, but I could take one of your essays and distill it into two paragraphs.
