You take the book home, and there you tell your family members—relatives, housemates, cats, dogs, cockatiels, whatever—that this afternoon you are going to be reading philosophy, so they will need to look after themselves. Not knowing where else to start, you begin with page one. First, you read the editor's introduction, which seems to go on forever and doesn't make a lot of sense, mainly because it seems to assume that you've already read the book, which you haven't.
After the introduction, there is a quote in Latin from somebody called Baco de Verulam. You skip the Latin and continue. Next up, there are a couple of dedications to his Excellency Baron von Zedlitz, whoever he is. They are sweet and slightly fawning. By now, if you are being honest with yourself, you are feeling that time is beginning to drag. You have ploughed through almost one hundred pages, and you haven't really even started on the meat of the book. So now you turn the page to Kant's first preface there are two, you note, both longer than you would like , and the first sentence is four lines long.
It goes like this:. You read through the over-long sentence several times. You think you might know what Kant is talking about, but you are not sure. You shrug and press on. Maybe it will become clear. You look at your watch. Time is moving slowly, and you have a headache.
You suspect you are succumbing to melancholy you've heard it is something philosophers suffer from. But you are also stubborn. You are not going to give up too easily. You are outraged. What kind of person writes a book, you ask yourself, and then crows about how boring it is? Then, as if to soften the blow, Kant makes what you think is probably a joke—about books that would be shorter if they were not so short, and books that would be clearer if they had not been made so clear.
But if this is a joke, you don't get it. And this only makes you more depressed. By now, you are starting to think you actually hate Kant. And the moment you have this thought, you are ashamed… You suspect your hatred is a sign of your pettiness. It is a sign your intellect is small and cramped, your soul inferior.
