@SRCHicks: Serious question and one I struggle with: what’s the reason for interest in Kant and Hegel? Is it purely historical? Should we learn something useful from it today? Can we understand persistent success of germanic civilization over the past 1800 years or more through that study?

I have come to see, partly because of your influence, the entire German experiment with philosophy as a counter-revolution against the impersonality of anglo legal, economic, and empirical thought. And perhaps a bridge between it and the same French counter-revolution by Rousseau’s attempt at a secular narrative while retaining the middle eastern mythicism of the Church. (Which seems to still hold the French Academy in rapture.)

Now, I work in cognitive science, epistemology, the logics, language, economics and law, which means I share the english frame of references, so I assume I’m missing something?

Thanks so much for all you have done and all you do.
