Classic Greer.

Conceited – How dare he criticise my wonderful prose!
Bitchy – He only has an Open University degree!
Wrong – Kant as a model of lucid prose.

Kant is an outstandingly bad writer (as anybody who knows anything about German philosophy knows). It is hardly surprising that Greer refuses to accept that her prose is anything other than golden, but do not praise her for it!

The fact that Greer makes a gratuitous reference to a philosopher that she (and evidently you) know nothing about is a neat demonstration of precisely what you seek to refute i.e. obscurity of language disguising banality of thought.

'Kant is an outstandingly bad writer (as anybody who knows anything about German philosophy knows)'

- indeed, and you can include Germans who have read him in the original.

And the bit that's not from Kant - 'creates a discontinuity' - is even worse, a lazy 'look, I'm an Intellectual' cliche. She may not quite have deserved the gong but she certainly protests too much.

Classic Greer! That is an oxymoron. The woman is the pits and I insult the name woman by applying it to her. She's never written anything of substance which can't be picked to pieces. She's an offence to creation.
