Well philosophy and psychology are indistinguishable. It's a modern error to separate them

We know we share some type of "human nature" with the past and we know murder is wrong. I believe we can know some philosophical truth and it is wrong...

So you know for a fact that in what policy was right in Fitche's age? That's not hate on your part but it is arrogant. I don't judge past ages because...

In interpreting past ages I interpret hate as violence

That's how to read it. Try thinking

People become Christian to regain a sense of parenthood over themselves again

The number one thing people feel guilt over is sex. According to Freud and Jung (and I think they are right) active sexuality is a choosing of one par...

The Jewish people have been a nomadic people for for a very long time. Wanting to be accepted by all nations, they have usually had a very cosmopolita...

I want to read a lot more of Fitche's philosophy. I've only read sporadic quotes from him of Jews but that doesn't interest me. To my mind philosophy ...

So your argument is that Heidegger must have smelled the bodies that were burned and knew it was extermination and not soldiers bodies?

“A State within a State: "…the Jewish nation excluded itself…from the German nation by the most binding element of mankind—religion…It (the Jewish nat...

Of course it makes a difference if he supported geonocide. My number one problem with the three major religions on the West are their endorsement of m...

Considering the circles Heidegger worked within, it's unlikely he knew anything about the exterminations
April 01, 2021 at 01:10
He has a lot of quotes on Jews throughout his writings. He wanted a German nation run by Germans alone

I see that Necessity= order Order= non-random Contingency= randomness Randomness= disorder So unless order is in the eye of the beholder, we should be...

Sounds like Hobbes. In our age nobody would say this openly. Back in the day this was not unusual. I have a book by an old English judge written in re...

It constitutes not being strong enough to condemn the war, but Heidegger didn't know about the concentration camps until they revealed by the Allies
March 30, 2021 at 21:43
That's our era. You can't judge things that happened 100 years ago except for violence and murderous acts. Other things are too easily misunderstood. ...
March 30, 2021 at 20:47
Can you cite the passages that call for murder of Jews? That work was clearly a hysterical attempt to unite a nation and many people didn't take every...
March 30, 2021 at 20:25
He did not openly support Nazism after they started murdering people. That party has been around for almost 20 years before genocide started. As with ...
March 30, 2021 at 19:31
Heidegger was not for murder as far as we know. Jesus was. Jesus was a Nazi. Christians are Nazi. Jews are Nazi. Islam is Nazi. Like I said, there is ...
March 30, 2021 at 18:18
Since you would have forced Heidegger to apologize, I guess you need to start forcing Christians and Jews to give up the Nazi OT. Oh boy
March 30, 2021 at 17:49
As German modern Nazis have pointed out, the old Testament Jews were the original Nazis. "Our race is special" "we have the mandate to kill other race...

Jesus supported the genocide of the old testament btw

You didn't live back then.

I know there has been books written about this, but can anyone now present a passage from Heidegger's *philosophy* that has anything to do with "Arian...

I'm not fascinated by Nazis. I just recognize it was easy for Heidegger to fall for the Nazi ploy.

My mistake. Two people born in Nigeria are more likely to be similar than a Nigerian and a Russian

Anthropologists will try to throw you off track on this by saying "there is more diversity within species than between". But this only says that there...

During the period from Darwin until WWII there was a lot of pseudo science about race going around. I don't think we should be judging Heidegger or Ju...

If Heidegger wasn't for killing anyone I could care less what he said and thought

In theory all men are equal. In practice that principle can never be perfectly established. The Nazis saw the Jews as promoters of communism and moder...
