What I'm trying to say is that the one original logic premise that should have logically originated all others cannot be logically proven to be valid, because there are no other premises to prove it, and therefore, everything that comes after it is very likely to be untrue.

Read Wittgenstein.

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Logic has been studied since Greco-Roman times.

> Logic is highly illogical
Doesn't means that is wrong.
You can be illogical but right in the end.

I think that it is impossible to live a 100% logical life at the first place.

> happiness is just escapism
What does it even means? For example, it can be said logical life is also just an escapism. How you know what is escapism and what is not.

>>1126623
'logic' is interchangeable within cultures. For instance Chinese kill people as a way to save money on hospital bill (you have probably seen videos of many Chinese people doing heinous things which are simply accepted).

Happiness is a simple illusion, it's not static it's always changing so why bother even pursue it in the first place?

>Americas
Too far away. If you noticed, all the nations who colonized the new world were at the edge of the Atlantic, perfect for setting sail without issues.

>Africa
Well they sort of had Africa and even went down to the Horn as your map shows.

>Asia
By the 17th century they started stagnating that went to full on decline in the 18th and 19th century. They couldn't possibly have hoped to defeat Qajar Persia or India.

By the time colonialism really started to catch on, the Ottomans were already weak as fuck.

The height of their power was in the 15th and 16th century.

Axis war crimes are basically non existent and mainly propaganda.

There's a lot more to study about Allied war crimes.

they sprayed ethiopians with mustard gas
(to be fair, ethiopians were using hollow point bullets)

Because even if you can't prove or disprove unfalsifiable concepts, you can still discard them.

There are good arguments against all of them. Solipsism is funny in that it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Alien here. I can.

i think he tried to cover his idealessness with convoluted language intentionally out of vanity -
many philosophers ánd sociologists fake originality like this

Sorry OP. Most people who even try to understand him are usually leftist materialists who only read him to see what their leftist idols saw in him. You need to have randomly experienced Lichtung to truly understand.

He argued reality is not composed of "things" so much as subject-dependent-contextual-possibilities. He tried to avoid the blind faith in the modern scientific world view, and he failed, unfortunately.

>Nice things about germany history

it'll end soon.

Even if it failed, the HRE at least tried to be Holy, Roman and an Empire

>what's the deal with the septuagint?
It's the oldest translation of the Bible.

>why do they translate passages so differently in some cases?
Because different translators were working on it with different processes and mastery over the languages. Sometimes they're more literal, sometimes they go for an interpretive translation.

Please refer to the New English Translation of the Septuagint - I'm referring to both the To The Reader of The NETS and the introductions of each book - for further, specific questions:

http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/edition/

>is the septuagint a translation of a different hebrew bible than the one we have today?
They didn't have the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia back in the day.

If Qumran is of any indication, you would find versions agreeing with the MT ("proto-Masoretic Text", the majority), or the Septuagint, or something else ("Qumran Bible").

The Masoretes weren't there to standardize the texts.

>do jews hold it in high regard at all?
Hebrew Bible or nothing.

>how did it originate?
Go to the paragraph on the Septuagint here:
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/3269-bible-translations

A Greek translation of the Torah would allow a foreign king to understand what this Judaism thing is about.

>>1125740
>The Masoretes weren't there to standardize the texts
Are you saying that before the Masoretes there were more versions of the Hebrew Bible commonly found? Not sure if I'm understanding you.

>>1126046
Yes, and Qumran shows that.

>>1125627
>It seems to me that everything we do, feel and say is of a rather superficial nature.
Put some more effort in it.

Foucault, Derrida, and Althusser went into how ideology is created and sustained, so that might be what you're after

>>1125638
Fair enough. It seems to me that we only harbour and express our feelings in an attempt to create a narrative of some sort in our lives. It seems to me that all of it is just so we have something to occupy ourselves with, because otherwise life would be too plain. It may also serve to justify the actions dictated by some of our most basic instincts such as self-preservation and reproduction. So, despite all of our grand and noble concepts such as love, justice, etc., I only see a mechanical behaviour fighting desperately to stay alive.

Well there's no qts getting beheaded

Henry VIII recognized that there were two Empires: Europa and Britannia. The establishment of a national faith in England was well overdue by his time. Today there is Britain, Europe, and Russia, each with their own destiny. The establishment of a national destiny is well overdue in Britain.

Anybody know anything about the Ottoman trade deal we had under Elizabethan rule that Catholic nations couldn't get because Islam was considered evil by the Church?

Titus-Livus, Sallustus and Taine

They were writing about living things, not dead ones. I hates these fucking old historians with their old books.

For about thirty seconds I thought about explaining why this is wrong. But then I realised that your mental development must have halted at six, so I'd be wasting my time.

Georges Duby
Runciman
Le Goff

All top-tier for the medieval period, some people will detest Duby though
