Two quotes must suffice: Strauss writes to Kojéve about the predicted "end state" that "in the strict sense of the term, there is no more work at all, since nature will have been definitively conquered" (p. 238). And Kojéve later writes to Strauss:

>"The universal and homogeneous state is `good' only because it is the last (because neither war nor revolution are conceivable in it: - mere `dissatisfaction' is not enough, it also takes weapons!)

>In the final state there naturally are no more `human beings' in our sense of an historical human being. The `healthy' automata are 'satisfied' (sports. art, eroticism, etc.), and the `sick' ones get locked up. As for those who are not satisfied with their `purposeless activity' (art, etc.), they are the philosophers (who can attain wisdom if they `contemplate' enough). By doing so they become `gods' (p. 255, emphasis in original).

Are there any good Ken Burns-style interview-driven documentaries from the perspective of Axis soldiers and civilians from World War 2? Heck, even just one from Russians and other non-Anglos. I want a non-Anglo American perspective on WW2 so it's not just 10 hours of "WE DID ARE DUTY AND IT WAS HARD BUT BAH GAWD IT HAD TU BE DUN"

One of the most interesting part of the Ken Burns Civil War documentary is when Shelby Foote talks about hoe the South has a feeling of defeat that the rest of America doesn't have. I want to see that sense of defeat.

I posted this in /lit/ just in case and I don't know if I should post this on /his/ but can someone explain to me simply and thoroughly what is rakugo exactly. If I understand it even minimally, it is a type is story telling of often humourous events and situations in Japan historically? Like a type of oral tradition meets (purposely)non original standup comedy?

Why does western-philosophy (built on Kantianism) try to secularize Kant theories if he built his ethical argument that humans are beings, not things, created by God?

I'm not saying they outright dismiss his philosophy (you can't) but they tip-toe around the deeply religious foundation of it.

What is even wrong with having slave morality. Doesn't someone without power need a sense of empowerment anyway?

sup /his/? I've been watching history lectures on The Great Courses Plus and wanted to talk about some of the stuff I learned.

Specifically I wanna talk about the status of women in history compared to now. I've watched several series including one dealing specifically with daily life for different ancient peoples. The more I learn the more it becomes apparent that, up until about the 20th century, women were basically property to be bought and sold. In fact, it was her father that would pay to marry her off. Going back to the beginning of written history, marriage contracts were little more than sales agreements. A girl's father would agree to pay a man "so-much" to take his daughter with a penalty if she can't produce a male heir. The practice of dowry stayed with us in western culture right up until the 20th century. Many eastern cultures still practice it.

Than modern medicine comes along and shifts the entire dynamic. No longer are women considered a liability. As soon as childbirth stopped becoming the primary cause of death for women everything changed. You see the suffrage movement, women gaining rights in the workplace and most recently the feminist movement. In just a century women have gone from being baby machines that you have to pay to get rid of, to the equal of men.

Funny how we got here.
