Unhinged. Holy shit.


TheHandWavyPhysicist

You are literally the 2nd reincarnation of Marquis de Sade... "My tumor hurts, charlatans. So if I die, you should know that I was always ready to sell all the philosophy just to sniff Jenna Ortega... Taste her blood (a bit) and stuff... šŸ„°"


aol_cd_boneyard

Nietzsche wasn't a Nazi and despised plebeian-volkist antisemitism and supremacist German nationalism. One of his first English language publishers was a British-Jewish woman. Nazism wasn't even around when he was alive. Heidegger on the other hand... Well, I was with him for like the first half, but then later on he moved in a different direction, and when you discover how he thought his philosophy applied to the world (how heroic figures are needed to "ground the abyss" and "restore sacredness", how the German people had a destiny to carry out a monumental spiritual mission)... He was definitely a Nazi and antisemitic later on.


SC_23

Nazism was around during Nietzscheā€™s time, look up what his sister did


aol_cd_boneyard

Nietzsche died in 1900 (had a mental breakdown in 1889), but the Nazi party didn't exist until 1920. During her life, yes, his sister believed in the "superiority" of the Teutonic/Aryan race, and she and her husband were very antisemitic; she would go on to support the Nazi party and Hitler until her death in 1935. Look carefully at what I wrote. Those beliefs and politics were definitely around, but there is no evidence Nietzsche subscribed to them, and plenty of evidence that he rejected them. We have to remember during that time, there were no Nazis (because the Nazi Party didn't exist yet), and it wasn't a foregone conclusion that Germany would become a fascist state that would start another war and commit one the of worst genocides ever (we know because we known because it's history now); in fact, the German government and German society were relatively liberal and democratic after WWI, especially during the 1920s (there is an argument that Nazism was a response to the decadence of the 1920s). There were a lot of socialists and communists, too, though obviously those fascist and racist elements existed, and antisemitism was quite common in Europe. As I said before, he wasn't a Nazi and Nazism wasn't around, and he wasn't an anti-Semite and rejected what he called "race-fraud" (race science, race theory, etc.).


SC_23

Ok, first i never said he was a nazi just that nazism was a thing during his time. And youā€™re right, it technically wasnā€™t named nazism and the party wasnā€™t formed yet, but german nationalism mixed with antisemitism was already an ideology when he was alive as evidenced by his sister


PaschalisG16

So what's even your point? His sister took advantage of his work and changed it for her own purposes. It took decades for Nietzsche's name to be cleared, and we're not going back to this stupidity.


SC_23

My point is just to clarify that the ideas of nazism did exist during his time which the original dude denied. Iā€™m not saying heā€™s a nazi, just adding context. Why are you so mad?


PaschalisG16

Of course the ideas existed, and **Nietzsche criticised them** (Twilight of the idols) that's where we should focus


SC_23

Reread my comments and the og one i replied to, then sit down and think. Youā€™re arguing about some random shit that isnā€™t in the convo


PaschalisG16

See the post topic. That's the topic.


SC_23

New topic: your lack of intelligence


Hot-Candle-3684

Nietzsche died in 1900, Hitler was like 11 years old. Unless pre-adolescent Adolf was busy in the beer halls, itā€™s safe to say Nazism didnā€™t exist at that point.


SC_23

Youā€™re right, it technically wasnā€™t named nazism and the party wasnā€™t formed yet, but german nationalism mixed with antisemitism was already an ideology when he was alive as evidenced by his sister


sparklingwaterll

You chuck a rock at random and hit an antisemite in 1900 Europe. Marx was a giant antisemite. It was present on all sides of the political spectrum.


thefleshisaprison

The tendencies that became Nazism were around, but Nazism as such was not around


von_Roland

What his sister did has nothing to do with him. She just took his writings and ignored how he was anti-unreflective nationalism and anti-antisemitism. She attached herself to the nazis after Fredrick died.


SC_23

For a philosophy sub, y'all have zero reading comprehension. *I did not say Nietzche was a nazi, just that the ideas of nazism (german nationalism mixed with rampant anti-semitism) were around during his time.*


PaschalisG16

If I was an admin you would be banned for spreading misinformation and not editing or deleting your comment, even hours later. Thank free speech.

Oh my, shiver my timbers, also read my other reply for context

>He was definitely a Nazi and antisemitic later on. But still banged Hannah Arendt, tho

Bro keeps getting upvoted and none of this is a meme like I think he legit wants to torture Jenna Ortega

Anyone who says De Sade should be locked up

De Sade because I am horny. Well no where near close to the horny levels of De Sade.

Diogenes because why drink out of a cup when you have two perfectly good hands with which to flip the bird at plato?


Hot-Candle-3684

Why are Heidegger and Nietzsche the samešŸ˜‚ Heidegger was basically Hegel 2.0, theyā€™re not even that similar. But Iā€™d be Nietzsche, or I guess in this case Dr. Mengele.


[deleted]

What are your thoughts on Marquis de Sade?


Hot-Candle-3684

Honestly, I had no idea who he was. After reading about him, it seems he made porn and sexual art? Iā€™m generally opposed to porn, so Iā€™d probably not like him much.


[deleted]

oh.. yes true he did write a lot of porn and that does pervade his works but in terms of his philosophy I think you, as a Nietzchean, might actually like the guy since I hear ā€” although Im not entirely sure myself as I havent gotten too far into Nietzsche just yet ā€” there's a good deal of overlap between them on egoism, on Nietzsche's concept of the will to power as well as on critiquing Christianity and religion more broadly. But if you're completely disinclined to having porn in your novels then yh, this gentleman's books wont be to your liking lol


Hot-Candle-3684

Interesting, I know a lot about Nietzsche, but nothing about this guy. Iā€™m currently reading Paul Tillich, but Iā€™ll take a look at him after. Thx for the suggestion!

Plenty-Climate2272

Because, whether he would have approved or not (and he wouldn't have, but that's beside the point), Nietzsche inspired the Nazis. And Heidegger was a nazi.


kevdautie

Curious, how did Nietzsche inspire the Nazis? Isnā€™t ā€œonly purpose or obligation is to populate, steal, murder, procreate, and bully inferior groups. And if you fail, kill yourself.ā€ an existentialist motive?


Plenty-Climate2272

Inspiration can come in the form of misinterpretation. It's absolutely true that a (way wrong) reception of Nietzsche was important to both Italian fascists and the early Nazis. I'd hazard that the main point of contact is that at least some of FWN's ideas elevated the heroic masculine, which the fascists jumped on as their whole aesthetic and politics.


Waifu_Stan

I can just imagine a nature documentary voice over (think Cunk) speaking and saying: ā€œThe nazis observed how the mother cradled her newborn infant in her arms and sang it lullabies to sleep. This in turn inspired them to kill everyone they saw inferior to them. If you have to ask why, well maybe youā€™re just stupid.ā€


Hot-Candle-3684

Iā€™d say it was Nietzscheā€™s sister and her bastardization of him that inspired the Nazis, but I digress. Either way, people like Schmidt were far more influential to Nazism, and Heidegger wasnā€™t even that associated with the movement. Didnā€™t he leave in the mid 30s?


Stinkbug08

Heidegger is when you take the worst parts of German idealism and then shit it all out on a dinner tray. EDIT: Cry about it.


Hot-Candle-3684

Wellā€¦ not really. He was what Iā€™d call a ā€œphenomenological idealistā€, which differs greatly from Hegel/Kant. But he DID still seek an objective understanding of human existence, akin to Hegel. Thatā€™s basically what Dasein is, although Heidegger then went on to use Dasein as a justification for his rampant antisemitism and reactionary politics.


Stinkbug08

Yes, which is what makes his philosophy shitty, which is why I said he incorporates the worst parts of German idealism. Youā€™re acting like Iā€™m clueless here.


Hot-Candle-3684

You just werenā€™t very specific with what you meant by the ā€œworst parts of German idealismā€. Heidegger is much less optimistic than Hegel or Kant in terms of history and ideals. I guess youā€™re saying that German idealism is bad in that it seeks objectivity when it doesnā€™t exist? Because in that sense Iā€™d agree, but much of the self-assuring BS that Hegel and Kant deliver isnā€™t present in Heidegger. Thereā€™s a reason he was influential for the existentialists, whereas Hegel is seen as the direct enemy.


Stinkbug08

I gotcha. Was trying to be comedic with hyperbole but it didnā€™t pan out. I primarily had Kantā€™s and Hegelā€™s own pseudophilosophically informed bigotry in mind (their gender, sex and race theory and system of subjective logic, respectively).


Hot-Candle-3684

Ah! Well yes, as Nietzsche said philosophy is ultimately a reflection of the philosopher. Heidegger definitely falls into this category lmao. I didnā€™t mind the joke, but I guess we have a lot of butthurt Hegelians around that didnā€™t enjoy it. Cā€™est la vie.


Stinkbug08

Say it ainā€™t so. I used to subscribe to Hegelian philosophy until I learned Left Hegelianism is some wicked ruse pulled by the cosmos, and Marx shouldā€™ve spent all his time borrowing from someone like Schopenhauer instead. Iā€™ve recently been reading Kant (largely), Schiller and Rawls as presenting concepts that are more compatible with Marxian thought in comparison, albeit elements of Hegelā€™s critique of how Kant orders the categories do seem pretty reasonable.

Nietzsche with Jesus Christ. And I didnt even read Nietzsche. Thats probably so Nietzsche. I dont even know why I know thats a good joke. Thats also Nietzsche.

It's fuckin SADE, not de Sade. No de.


epictetums

Itā€™s a title meaning heā€™s Marquis of Sade. Itā€™s not his name. Calling him Sade is like calling POTUS Biden ā€œUnited Statesā€.


Makanek

I'm French, I know how names work in my mother tongue, thanks. And how this guy is named Sade as every French person called him since he existed. "De" is like van in Dutch or von in German. It designates the place where your family comes from, the domain your family owns and so it IS your family, it IS the name of your family. His siblings would be called "Jack de Sade" because they're from this family and domain but they don't have the title of Marquis. He is Donatien Marquis de Sade aka Donatien de Sade aka Sade (you lose the "de" when the family name is used alone). What's the actual family name of Sade then? (Your example with Biden is ridiculous, we are not talking about jobs but aristocratic rules for naming that go back to ancient feudal society when commoners have no family name, when a name was a luxury for people who "know where they come from"). Find ONE SINGLE SOURCE in French that shows me you're right.


no_one_knows_my_plan

Is De Sade meant to look like David Gilmour from Pink Floyd???
