Immanuel Kant was a real pissantWho was very rarely stable.Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggarWho could think you under the table.David Hume could out-consumeSchopenhauer and Hegel,And Wittgenstein was a beery swineWho was just as sloshed as Schlegel. If you're into stuff like this, you can ...
The question is whether I will read this based on the author's dubious reputation.I see that a recent review from Kalliope made the terms-of-use-busting claim that "Manny is [...] Manny!"

WHY?I loved this witty, varied and challenging collection, as I knew I would, having read many of Manny's reviews and comments before.
