Nice selection, Mark! I think the consensus is that Kant, which brilliant, was indeed a terrible writer, which is why it's nice to have guys like this make it a bit more interesting! You know, it's been a while since I've read Kant, but I read some of his writings in a class I took on aesthetic philosophy, and this explanation sounded right on.
Love, Michael
...OK, didn't proofread the last comment very well. I meant "while brilliant."
Minus 5 for grammar.
