Summary

Ever tried reading Kant and felt your brain melt into a puddle of transcendental confusion? You're not alone! "Kant You Not" is the hilarious antidote to philosophical pretension that explains Immanuel Kant's revolutionary ideas without inducing narcolepsy. 
In this irreverent guide to history's most unnecessarily complicated philosopher, author Sophia Blackwell translates Kantian gibberish into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his impenetrable prose, bizarre personal habits, and occasionally absurd conclusions. 
You'll discover: 
Why a man who never left his hometown somehow revolutionized Western philosophy 
How Kant needed 800 pages to say "we can't know things as they really are" 
Why he thought lying to axe murderers was morally wrong (seriously) 
How to fake Kantian knowledge at dinner parties without reading the originals 
Why we're still talking about this guy 200+ years later (Stockholm syndrome) 
Perfect for philosophy students suffering through assigned readings, professors who secretly hate teaching Kant, or anyone who enjoys watching brilliant ideas get roasted. "Kant You Not" proves that philosophy can be educational AND entertaining—a concept that would probably make Kant himself deeply uncomfortable. 
Buy now and transform your philosophical confusion into laughter! No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to question everything, especially sentences that run for more than half a page. 
Part of the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy accessible without being condescending and funny without sacrificing accuracy.
