      The most academic famous book on Pound, still much taught, is The Pound Era, by Hugh Kenner, which goes out of its way to emphasize that Pound had an important social/political vision & wasn't just literature. That's the mainstream academic view of Pound.

      But the mainstream academic view of Pound is not an endorsement of Social Credit--it's an endorsement of his phenomenal ear and cultural immersion. Nobody is going to pipe up in defense of his usury fixation, hatred of FDR (and, uh, Jews), or agrarian fantasies about America.

      It's more than a little inconvenient for Jeet's argument that Kenner, the one example Jeet had in mind, is not only not teaching but has been dead for 18 years.

      Remarkably Plato, Kant, Heidegger etc. are also dead and still exert an influence in academia.

      The notion that Kant is fascist is utterly risible.

      The claim is that Kant was a biological racist. Which is true.

      You really haven't been near a college in a long time if you think you have a leg to stand on in this argument. You should just withdraw ur absurd claim. As I said, you;'re right about Schmitt and arguably Heidegger. That should be enough to dispute Hanania

      I hasten to add before u inflict more conceptual confusion here that the claim you should withdraw is the claim from earlier in the thread, about Kant being offered as political exemplar. Ofc he was a biological racist but that's peripheral to your argument abt university norms

      nice grab. it makes Jeet's claim even weaker, which didn't seem possible a moment ago

      The fact that Kant became slightly less racist over time is nice, I guess. Not relevant to question of whether he was racist (yes), whether he is taught in academia today (yes), whether he should be taught (yes). All of which responds to original contention.

          No. You are simply pretending this is an argument about whether Kant is taught. It is not that, as most ppl observing have noticed. It is an argument about whether Kant is taught for his (to use an anachronism) right-wing beliefs. The answer to that is ofc that he is not.

          similarly Pound's politics are an embarrassment to anyone teaching him for what they believe to be separable as his literary merit

          No, the question is whether his (fairly ordinary for that era) racism (... and sexism) was relevant to his ethics.

          Kant’s racism plays a small part in the Anthropology, a work that is almost never taught, and it is contradicted by his thought in major works.
