Deus vult

yes

If coca cola, sushi and kebab is western culture, sure.

>I am pretty sure there was, at one point, such a thing as western civilization. I think it involved things like dancing around maypoles and copying Latin manuscripts. At some point Thor might have been involved. That civilization is dead. It summoned an alien entity from beyond the void which devoured its summoner and is proceeding to eat the rest of the world.

It is an amalgamation of different cultures, Western culture is dominant. Shushi for example is something from the Asian culture, so is anime, hentai and futa, all things we love. Still, the western culture dominates the globe.

Bigot

He did a lot of things wrong
If he did things right he would have a natural death

to give birth to that one joke that you want to be over but turks still believe in it

pan-turanism

>>1931212
pan-turanism was invented by a Finn after he developed inferiority complex because Swedes called Finns mongols

>>1931252
Yes, but it was soviets that pushed the meme too far so now "north" Azerbaijan and Turkey believes in this retarded reunification bullshit thanks to their propaganda to try split Iran up.

I like pic related for the USSR and general post-Soviet space. It's from 1998, but it's still an excellent primer

The story of civilization by Durant is an interesting read. I learned a bit on how states were created. It has some eugenics in there though .

Maybe Hegel's dialectics, though now that I say that it sounds like bullshit

I think Mussolini can be explained differently: when he realized his style of socialism got nowhere he tried something else.
The book "The anatomy of fascism" talked about Mussolini. Can't remember it all however.

>>1931539

Lenin talked about how Fascism was capitalism in decline, basically the bourgeois values of the West adapting some socialist and collectivist principles to their own benefit instead of the proles. Just another step along the road to communism :^)
So in a way, fascism can be viewed as an expression of dialectic.
I'm not saying I'm a communist or that I necessarily agree with Lenin, but I think the viewpoint of a communist can be useful here.

On topic though, I've heard some people refer to it as pendulum theory, but googling that I can't find anything academic.

Deutsch was used for everyone speaking a German dialect, there was not a national identity, but a cultural one.

>>1931037
So the area would be referred to as "Deutchland" then?

>>1931042
The term "In Teutschen Landen" was used, but as a moniker for a cultural area, not a political one.

Poor Lucius Verus, he didn't deserve to die so young, maybe Commodus wouldn't have been so shit if he had shared the empire with him for a few years

>the marcus aurelius thread gets no attention
You faggots, I bet the Elagabalus thread will rrach bump limit

stop wasting your time with this kind of thread.

The only emperor who deserves your time is Aurelian.

Science makes philosophy obsolete on an epistemological level. So it follows that philosophers are active in areas that scientists have less to say about, like consciousness. Whereas in areas like math philosophy becomes useless.

>It seems to me...
It seems to me like you're trying to hard to sound smart, which just makes you sound obnoxious, it has little to do with cynicism.

>>1930917
>>1930959
Also while philosophy might not have anything to say about how cars work, it has a lot to say about the ethical implications of self-driving cars, for example.

Science isn't everything.

>>1930917
the scientific method is pretty rudimentary, it can be boiled down to "establish a claim, then do your best to make sure the claim is true".

there's a reason there's no alternative.

from the stylistic difference between the fine carving of the ruins in contrast with the harsh style of latter paints, it could be concluded that the monuments has been vandalised by barbarians / people of different culture during its destruction or during its slow decline

Paint doesn't last, it will only be detected in trace amounts via utraviolet and other means.

>>1930894
>this sculpture may look plain now, but careful analysis has revealed traces of a wide variety of paints. Who knows what it may have looked like in its prime?

What calendar did*

Probably the Hebrew lunar calendar.

I don't think the standard story, from Christian antagonists at the time, is that the Romans removed the corpse. The Jews were saying *Christians* removed the corpse. Why would the Romans move it surreptitiously?

>>1930854
When Constantine's representatives arrived in Jerusalem around A.D. 325 to locate the tomb, they were allegedly pointed to a temple built by the Roman emperor Hadrian some 200 years earlier.

The germanic tribes were especially problematic + constant internal conflicts. I'm neither an expert on this so someone correct me if i was wrong.
