The governor of western Russia’s Kaliningrad region blamed the 18th-century German enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant for the outbreak of war in Ukraine. “He is directly related to the military conflict in Ukraine,” Anton Alikhanov, who governs the western exclave of Kaliningrad, said Friday at a local political science forum.

In its correct pronunciation, it sounds like an English expletive that can be used on Putin. So all is not as bad as it seems.

I wish the article went into more detail about the argument. Not because it probably makes sense but because I have a philosophy degree

Don’t mess with Plato, apart from being a philosopher, he was a competitive wrestler who would occasionally threaten to beat up people who disagreed with him.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

It must be, otherwise there would be no good reason why “Kant” is pronounced like “cunt”.
