ONLY Roger Scruton could get away with making the following remark in a work published by Oxford University Press:
“Kant enjoyed the company of women (provided they did not pretend to understand the Critique of Pure Reason) and twice contemplated marriage.”
I think that one must have slipped beneath the censorial radar. Mind you, Kant did have some odd thoughts on marriage and regarded the institution as the “reciprocal use of each other’s sexual organs”. The fact that he so actively made every effort to avoid it probably speaks for itself.”
