then how did hegel approximate his views to theirs?

same with schopenhauer, though schopenhauer was influenced by eastern religions which influenced gnosticism in antiquity, so that sort of explains itself

Because men have always been the dominant gender and thus, culture is reflected on that fact.

>>335429
Oops, I meant to say physically dominant.

Woman gets pregnant.
Woman gives birth.
Woman takes care of kid.

Man makes sure these things happen unimpeded.

Man gets a place of power.

This is simple.

Stirn is German for forehead, btw

Why are there only cartoons of him? I've never seen a real picture of him.

Because.

He was literally insane. Dude made a bunch of conjecture about the circumference of the earth and would have died in the middle of the ocean if it wasn't for the Americas.
Motherfucker thought he was gonna convert the entirety of China to Christianity, march on the Ottoman empire, and trigger the second coming of Christ by retaking Jerusalem.

>she doesn't lift

I started but I'm worried about what it actually does.

I have terrible anxiety, it really holds me back but I also am a bit hyper at times, which I like. I'd hate for meditation to make me become some dulled zombie though.

he was an idealist :^)

Literally worse than Hitler

A master of realpolitik.

>racism
The world your looking for is classism. Capitalism's aim is to detract from this and redirect toward nonissues that feed on insecurities. Racism is the poster child of this side stepping.

Replace capitalism with democracy

Mao did nothing wrong

You can do the Opium War and its effect on Asian society today.

>destabalize entire empire
>make SEA into a drug dependent/making region

Current day ramifications are very harsh penalties for drug offenders (death penalties)

Was actually kind of thinking this. The prof didn't dip into it too much, and I might like to explore the actual situation at the time.

Documents from PIDE tell thathe was indeed a virgun,but has we all know PIDE isn't a trustwothy source.

He dedicated a lot of time to management in fact he was known to not sleep some nights to see how the number ofgold bars were coming thought.

>>334400
Quite possible.

Best 20th century statesman by the way, above Lee.

>>334400
Newton was also so religious he was probably a virgin when he died. At least, he never fucked any women. Like most really devout Christians, he had one big flaw like being a hardcore homosexual that made him be so devout to atone for his sin.

>>334202
why? fuck whatever usenet user attributed that to nietzsche

In 1996, Alan Sokal, a physicist, grew tired of the "Science Wars". Postmodernists would throw out dribble about how scientific discovery was inherently racist, and mathematics was created by the bourgeoise to oppress women. Finally, "academics" called for the restraining of scientific discovery such that it fit with proper political doctrine. Similar to Lysenko in Soviet Russia, these "academics" could spew out dribble (Because that's all it was) faster than actual scientists and thinkers could put out factual analysis.

So Sokal published "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" in the Social Text, a publication put out by Duke University. Sokal sought to show that not only were the postmodernists academically bankrupt but also complete idiots. He claimed in the article that gravity itself was a social construct that was inherently sexist and created solely to oppress women. Initially, Social Text found his lack of "proper homage to established academics" to be a deal breaker. So he threw in some quotes by Marx and Lacan and Foucalt and Dworkin and it was promptly accepted.

Keep in mind that this is a completely garbage article.

Sokal then spread the word high and low about how not only did Social Text not use peer review but also didn't even bring in someone with an understanding of physics to look at the paper.

In honor of him, people eventually coded "Sokal Generators", programs which pick through a list of given sources and cobble together some bizarre form of post modern analysis. It's all complete gibberish. It's fun to post these to Left wing/liberal/progressive/post modernist websites and watch them argue for or against something that is 100% twaddle made by a computer.

When something becomes so clouded that "experts" cannot tell the difference between real analysis and computer generated mockery then you aren't gaining knowledge, you're roleplaying an academic.

>>334311
Yes we know about this. And you know what. I've actually read a book by the guy that published it and he specifically says the publicity stunt should not be used to discredit philosophy as a whole or even discredited post-modernism as a whole.

But you not only fail to understand the point of the stunt you got extra stupid and think this retroactively invalidates Hegel, a man who was 100 years before Post-modernism even existed as a word.

STEMfags are fucking retarded.

>>334088
I listen to varg does that count?

>>334206
Not really, no.

Why is Ebola associated with Christianity when he agreed with Nietzsche about the religion. He even borrows Nietzsche's vocabulary "aristocratic soul". Wasn't Evola's philosophy trying to take Nietzsche and put it into a pagan-spirtual form?

Russians are simply idiots.

BERLIN: A guilt-ridden account of an ordinary German soldier's experiences in World War two is countering a recent trend among historians to portray Germans as victims of the war.

Willy Peter Reese, an infantryman who fought on the Russian front and died in 1944 aged 23, kept a diary of how German soldiers killed scores of prisoners of war, committed rape, threw pregnant women and children out of their homes and stole food.

As the fighting wore on, indifference undermined the soldiers' discipline. ''Most numbed themselves with superficiality, with gambling, with cruelty or hatred, or they masturbated,'' wrote Reese.

Wounded several times, Reese volunteered to return to the front. He wrote that his soul had ''rotted'' and that he was ''lost''. The last words in his manuscript are ''I loved life.''

Reese's account shows how the Nazi war machine corrupted ordinary people. It gives an insight into how a cultured, educated nation obediently followed Hitler into a war of conquest and destruction.

Obviously that is a simplistic characterisation, but some of the more imagination capturing, egregious cruelties such as Dirlewanger's were performed under the SS badge.
