If you're studying any of the social sciences, you will have to read a lot of garbage. Kant is pretty bad. Any of the Enlightenment philophers upon which the foundation of modern Leftist thought are based are wordy and obscure. Possibly to conceal the fact that what they have to say is bull**** -- that's called a tautology. Hegel is also a trial.
I still think that Marx is probably the worst -- at least the English translations are anyway. He was supposedly a journalist too. In our journalism classes, people are taught to use an economy of words.
Man, you just discounted COMPLETELY Kant and MarxIf you're studying any of the social sciences, you will have to read a lot of garbage. Kant is pretty bad.

Take it easy...almost every thinker has its own valuable contributions.
Yeah, and I'm Bruce Lee
I'm planning to become a crank. Then when I get older I'll be a curmudgeon.
Yes, Marx contributed to the dialog by bringing up some very important subjects. His conclusions were completely wrong however. His Labor Theory of Value is good for a laugh -- if it weren't so goddamn boring.
You have to admit that the Enlightenment philosophers upon which freedom are based [Locke, Adam Smith, Bastiat, Mill] are a bit more comprehensible.
I've heard rave reviews about that, gonna buy it over the christmas holidays.
Can you give me a brief but un-revealing synopsis ? (sorry if there were any spelling mistakes)
I'm not studing social sciences, its just philosophy and psychology. Outside of Plato and Kant, we also have to study a third philosopher's work (its the teacher that chooses the work, not us). We still don't know who will be but some are saying that its Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy.
Marx theories are, nowadays, seen as romantic and, although important for XIX century, are next to useless nowadays.
Marx = textbook theories that only work on paper. Incompatible with human kind.

During my free time I’m trying to read “Diplomacy”, by Henry Kissinger and “War” by Von Clausewitz

Yosy, I also had to read Kant in the 12th grade, and I actually learned to like it...I'm not studing social sciences, its just philosophy and psychology.

I had Parménides, instead of Plato. Try to convince your teacher to let yoy read Bertrand Russel - it's much easier than Nietzsche...
Hmmm... I'd tell you to save your money. It is probably the worst of all the Tom Clancy books I've read (which is all of them...)I've heard rave reviews about that, gonna buy it over the christmas holidays.
