Having students in an elective introductory philosophy class reading Hegel and Kant like it's still 1870 is a surefire way to kill intro philosophy at the College level. Those 19th century Germans are notoriously dense to read in translation.
I heard a professor of East Asian studies say his class on Confucious always fills up, and even the Stoics, Marcus Aurelius, and Plato are better reads than the iconic German philosophers.
I think you could even have a class on the philosophy of Einstein, the classic Russian novelists, or the Zen masters and every chair would be filled.
Einstein was not a philosophy you dimwit.
