This is almost word for word my journal entry in response to reading “What is Enlightenment” I feel that it conveys what I think pretty well.

It is very aggravating reading Kant, rather its really difficult just like any philosophical writing. I took philosophy and the readings for that class were probably the worst I’ve come across. Rarely is the language all that hard, but the thickness and density of the words is similar to that of a contract, or a bill passing through congress. If I do take my time to read through slowly, carefully, and analytically I do enjoy it. However reading philosophy is like the cream of the crap to me. In other words the best of the worst.
