I Kant with this

Kant was also about 5ft tall and had an unusually large head. He had an odd posture suggesting he may have had scoliosis or some form of physical malady. Reports are in spite of his pious upbringing he was popular at parties.

In school we spelt his name with an E, anyone know why the discrepancy existed?

The most hilarious part of Kant's work to me is in his anthropology.

In a footnote he said that there's two ways of studying it: in the first degree, by traveling and meeting people, and I'm the second degree by reading books by traveled people.

But Kant never traveled so he can study antropology in the first degree. So he adds a clause saying that if one lives in a busy port city (like Kant) one can study antropology in the first degree as all the people of the world travel to your city.

I find that level of pityness from one of the greatest philosophers very endearing

Koenigsberg, especially during that time, was considered the progressive hub of the western world, the pinnacle of human achievements and innovation. During that time, you really had the best of everything right in the city. So, why leave? His ideas and thoughts formed the way we think today, he singlehandedly changed the structure of thoughts europeans had.

His second rule was, to have a due balance of young men, frequently of very young men, selected fromthe students of the university, in order to impress a movement of gaiety and juvenile playfulness on the conversation; an additional motive for which, as I have reason to believe, was, that in this way he withdrew his mind from the sadness which sometimes overshadowed it, for the early deaths of some young friends whom he loved.

Thomas de Quincey - The Last Days of Immanuel Kant (1827)

I think ladies want to hit that, but Immanuel told them, "Kant touch this."

Kant wasn't like that. He was a socialite

just like me fr fr

"Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable..."

Yea, I can see how the guy who published the Categorical Imperative never had to accomodate for anyone around him in his daily life.
