Luther was the first to say German was as good as Hebrew, Greek, and Latin as a church language. His edition of the German Theology speaks of union to...

Ye, literally the First Reich. Christianity has a weird effect on the paganism that preceded there. Mysticism is a way to escape all that. Can a philo...

Interestingly, "German Theology" claims its source as coming from ancient Greece. Some saw Jesus as Greek others realized he was Jewish and so had the...

"The Germans have always been a comforting people" Sheldon, Big Bang Theory

Aquinas thought existence actualizes what some thing is (form) to makes its existence in reality (essence as accidents and substances). But doesn't a ...

Heidegger admittedly does leave you wondering what the truth is, so his style is a segway into something else. I'm not sure who you read after Heidegg...

My twin brother has a 138 IQ. I tried to join the Navy in my 20's but I couldn't pass the physical requirements. I scored very high on their intellige...

I am simply concerned that people are intimidated and afraid of German culture. Mysticism is usually seen as a great thing but if it's in Heidegger su...

Take the 5th way. It says there is design which by definition means "done by an intellect". So he assumes God's mind in trying to prove it. The 4th wa...

People no longer want to investigate matters of culture. They want to make broad cliche claims about history without asking serious questions

1) things exist 2) things have existence Aquinas thought he could argue that 2 is true and 1 is wrong but his arguments presupposes God's existence al...

Oh, well quoting German words as if they are Nazi implies that can't be used apart from the Holocaust

Why are you quoting German words as if they are wicked?

People give Nietzsche a free pass although he said cruelty was a good thing. Heidegger is thrown out for something that has nothing to do with his phi...

You seem very racists against Germans. I'm Italian and not offended, but your use of words is racist

I've read books Hitler, yes. I consider writings of such to be easily mistaken about facts of personality. I have known a lot of people who were crazy...

Hitler was crazy long before he came to power. Dr. Morell gave him meth, opiods, and cocaine on a regular basis. Hitler was given shots around every h...

I don't own a TV. I go by what I've studied about Hitler's doctors and above all on reading Hitler' condition from all his videos out of here. If a pe...

Are you really saying you can't tell Hitler was 1) crazy, and 2) on drugs from his videos? That's ridiculous

Hitler didn't write all of his rambling book. What I'm saying is that the man was psychotic most of his life and watching videos of him completely con...

A lot of people watch Hitler's speeches and think he's possessed. They really are witnessing the effects of methamphetamine

No but we have video of Hitler. Just look at him and you know he's crazy. You can't really judge a puppet mental patient like you do. We know who the ...

He was technically insane so there is no way to know

Let me connect my previous thoughts. There is something inherently unnatural about sexuality. It is an act of the body, not the body itself. It is lik...
