@mickalos,
Well, we can't all live up to the high intellectual standards of
glorious Oxford and appeal to the petty personal bickering of a handful of names without ever having actually read the work of world-historical figures.
You correctly noted that not once did I attempt to defend the two names that I mentioned (or the slew of others that you implicitly and ignorantly slander). The reason for this is that I don't need to. Their works speaks for themselves. Their importance in the history of philosophy is already established, and ignorant polemics by nobodies like you will do nothing to change that. Even your alma mater,
Oxford, the greatest university of all time, seems to agree with me. How do I know that? I have in front of me, as I write this, a copy of Hegel's
Phenemenology, published by...Oxford University Press! And since
high and mighty Oxford can do no wrong, it seems that Hegel really is someone worth considering.
So the choice is in your hands. Drop your pointless and thoroughly unwarranted arrogance and accept that maybe some French and German writers are worth your time, or keep up your outdated and dogmatic boycott and stew in your own spite and resentment.
