>And finally, to call to mind the enormous influence which "German philosophy"—I hope you understand its right to inverted commas (goosefeet)?—has exercised throughout the whole of Europe, there is no doubt that a certain VIRTUS DORMITIVA had a share in it; thanks to German philosophy, it was a delight to the noble idlers, the virtuous, the mystics, the artiste, the three-fourths Christians, and the political obscurantists of all nations, to find an antidote to the still overwhelming sensualism which overflowed from the last century into this, in short—"sensus assoupire."...
What the actual fuck is he talking about? Also, I thought the purpose of punctuation was to make shit easier to understand. This has the opposite effect. Maybe they should have made Nietzsche pass 4th grade English before they decided to let him become a famous philosopher.

>Kantian question
>Kant
Damn, you must really know your shit. To understand that completely out of context. Dr. Peterson, is that you?
>Maybe they should have made Nietzsche
I can't even tell if this is bait, but Nietzsche wrote in German

Notwithstanding OP's troll or sheer stupidity, this is one of the better aphorisms of BGE. His analysis of the history of German idealism and its roots is spot-on, with a perfect fucking delivery. His comparison between Kant and Molière's fake doctor spouting fake Latin is one of the best you'll find anywhere.

German philosophy numb the senses or put the senses to sleep

>first line says "German philosophy"

>OH MY GOD YOU'RE A FUCKING GENIUS WTF
