    "The issue with Kant is a utilitarian one. Not "was he right", which is clearly subjective, but it it useful to view the world through Kant colored glasses? What can you derive from it? And vice-versa regarding Russel."

    Surely the issue in question is concerned with truth rather than utility. The idea of subjectivity you appear to be using here is not one I would expect Kant to recognise. That said, I'm not sure utility is particularly helpful here, since the form of truths that Kant is speaking of is not one that can be easily shared or verified.
