Kant looks like he’s wearing a wig. Maybe he is also Foucault.

Hicks saw the title "A Critique of Pure Reason" and thought he meant Kant was critiquing reason itself, then wrote the chapter 🤣🤣 amazing!

I would argue that badism is the superior -ism because of it's inherent nature of having the radical essence of badness. And to quote Kant, the anti-enlightenment, anti-reason, king of pop - "Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know"

The sentence "The counter-Enlightenment, starting with Kant..." legitemately gave me an aneurism.

This was literally a revelation. I just happened upon Hick's audio version of this book - and have been listening to it on my longer bike-rides. Not having a background in philosophy, I took him at his word - given his reputation in some circles. I found myself buying into what he was saying - and many times getting angry about these 'stupid-Post-Modernists'. This video came up in my feed - and I was interested in hearing 'the other side'. I'm glad that I did. Though I must admit, it is painful to realize that I have to go back to square one. Lol !! I'm very interested in learning about the 'evolution of Philosophy' and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to do this video.

It's a tough choice, but I have to say if I had to pick my favorite book on philosophy, it would definitely be Complete Guide for Horse Business Success.

The fundamental thing people have to understand before reading this book is that Stephen Hicks is a card-carrying member of the Ayn Rand cult. The egregious misrepresentations of almost every philosopher are Ayn Rand's, not Hicks'. And what he wrote about more recent philosophy/philosophers aren't really what he thinks either: they're what he thinks Ayn Rand would have thought. That's 'Objectivists' for you. Ostensibly champions of the individual; in reality some of the biggest tools you could possibly meet.
