@mergy@philosophy “Books by Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Kant, Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman as well as Wollstonecraft, Austen, Woolf, Baldwin, Hurston and Orwell are worthy of introductory collegiate courses for students of all majors.”
Agreed they’re worth studying, but not all worth adopting. The author’s complaints are the result of millennia of Platonism and centuries of its fatal apotheosis in Kant and his successors.
