I bet neither Rousseau nor Kant had any real experience with a ”noble savage”. Noble savage I think existed only in the minds of these two philosophers

I am thinking that Rav Nachman of Breslov was talking about Kant when he criticized some famous philosopher in his time. It probably was not Hume like I had thought at first because Kant was rapidly gaining public attention at that that time in Germany. Georg Hamann was probably right that whole Critique of Pure Reason was misguided. some tried to fix in the gaps. But I am wondering how could these really smart German philosophers miss people like John Locke or the American Revolution. Had they never heard of Locke of the Constitution of the USA ? They were all plenty impressed with the Terrible French revolution with the streets of Paris literally turned red from the blood of the guillotine. Kant had only one picture in his house that of Rousseau! The great inspiration behind of French revolution. {I bet neither Rousseau nor Kant had any real experience with a ”noble savage”. Noble savage I think existed only in the minds of these two philosophers ,In real life you just leave out the “noble” part and leave in the “savage”. } Maybe Philosophy ought to turn to more sensible people like John Locke and Thomas Reid. In the enlightenment people rightly understood the danger of religious fanaticism, but not the equal and even more serios problem of political fanaticism believing in utopia that is only if everyone would agree with them
