The German philosopher Immanuel Kant was and remains one of the central figures of philosophy. However, he had to pay a high price for this: he spent all his time working, and died a virgin at the age of 70. There were rumors that Kant hated women and did not tolerate them in his house: he did not even have maids, only a faithful servant – and Kant threw him out when he learned that the man had married. But judging by Immanuel’s works, this opinion is an attempt to portray him as a misogynist. In fact, Kant often spoke very flatteringly about women. He rejected only sex itself, saying that he was “proud that he was able to resist carnal passions, avoiding mechanical movements devoid of any metaphysical meaning.”
