Mick on Kant

… My interest in philosophy is superficial. I find it a really hard subject. I need a teacher. I can’t just do it from reading. When I was in college, I did some philosophy courses. That’s hundreds of years ago. In “Jealous Lover,” there’s a Plato reference.

Shadows on the wall? Yes, you got it! Well done. But I find it a hard subject to educate myself into. I’ve recently read a couple of books, and I’m really finding it hard. They’re always having so many arguments, these philosophers, and always disagreeing with their masters. I was reading this book on Kant. They’re quite rude to each other and then they have to make up later, and I can’t understand what they’re really talking about. Was Kant a Christian? Was he an atheist?

I think it’s cool that you’re reading Kant. Well, it’s all vaguely fashionable…
