Memo to Marxist Historicist Post-Modern Academic Hipsters Everywhere














"The height of audacity in serving up pure nonsense, in stringing together senseless and extravagant mazes of words, such as had been only previously known in madhouses, was finally reached in Hegel, and became the instrument of the most barefaced, general mystification that has ever taken place, with a result which will appear fabulous to posterity, as a monument to German stupidity."*

-Arthur Schopenhauer

By the way, speaking of Hegel. Did you know that Mendelssohn studied aesthetics with him as a young man? I, for one, did not.

screw hegel and his stupid dialectic too. He was a pain in the ass to read. Kant at least tried to make sense.
