While a bit unrelated to the topic I think it is relevant. Building a philosophical opinion that is based primarily off of second hand information (parts of the internet) is a slipshodish way to go about understanding concepts and forming your own thoughts. This means that articles you find that deal with particular works should not be a substitute to the actual work. Surely there is no problem in using other authors commentary in parallel to the actual work.
I would suggest picking up a copy of some of Kant's work. Read it through once or twice and "translate" the meaning it for yourself. Then see what other people have to say about it.
