The things you encounter while surfing on the net are sometimes truly amazing. RHP people know I sometimes share my findings and post them in the forums.

Here's another one:

http://radicalacademy.com/adiphilwrgkant.htm

The last sentence of the article reads as follows:

"Kant's philosophy is fundamentally wrong and is one of the major contributors to the intellectual insanity which we see today."

Oops ! This author isn't afraid of making clear statements.

I'm not sure that the author of that essay has even read Kant. If so, s/he certainly didn't understand Kant. The section on the Critique of Practical Reason is especially funny. There are certainly problems with Kant's metaphysics, just as there are certainly problems with his epistemology and ethical theory. If one wants to understand these problems, one should read those who have an intimate understanding of Kant's work and the relevant secondary literature.

You will probably lose this one Joe,

kant stole another of my ideas. (that's a joke BTW) . He controverted the notion that "imperical" sensory input are infallible. We are what we experience. This is patently wrong from my poor chimp perch. Such basic statements are mere ‘reports’ of passively "minded" sensations. They (our five senses) are descriptions of what is observed as interpreted by the observer with reference to a determinate theoretical framework. Not absolute "truth".

I am afraid I don't follow. How is Kant wrong? Can you see into the noumenal realm. Do you know the essence of all things unseen. I think Kant's Categorical Imperitive was quite intuitive of him. That being said one of my preferred philosophers is Fredrich Nietzsche.

Well, in spite of using a metaphore "noumenon" as an adjective...

Ahem. He (Kant) was wrong once. He once said that he hoped he never had to die. We all know that was wrong. He had a death wish and just couldn't face it.

(can you spell 'Joke'?)

You don't have to go hide in yer' "intellectual shed". What do you want to debate? The rules are that we both get fifty words to make a point. Ok? snark.... svw grins and tries to envision a 'philosopher' able to actually use language to advantage! Wonderful sport, that.

Besides Ben,

I can and do take "Philosophy" in the same disdain as Popper took Marxism and Freudism in disdain. And for the exact same reasons.

Sorry Karl. But you dumb old turd. It was yer' idea!

So please lay it on us. Ben. Why are you not "just another quack"? Expound. Tell us why you are above all that. Really.
