If the Royal Navy hadn't stopped Napoleon from escaping to North America, what would he have done there?
He probably would've just stayed put in the United States until his death. Moving to Quebec isn't an option because it's still owned by the English.

How essential is Schopenhauer on my journey through philosophy? Can I just read Kant, then Hegel, then skip straight to Nietzsche?
You can read philosophy in any order you want really.
>Missing out on antinatalism
Fichte and Schelling are important if you really want to bridge Kant to Hegel, that is, if you want to read Hegel without having to re-read what you just read over and over because it reads like a word salad.
Schopenhauer is actually more relevant to Nietzsche than any of the aforementioned idealists or Kant, since he develops the idea of will and self-overcoming a lot more, though Nietzsche is doubtless influenced by Hegel's Philosophy of Right in his conception of power.

The Roman Inquisition was installed to battle heresy. The Spanish Inquisition was a whole new level. It adjudicated heresy, bigamy, sodomy, crypto-Jews, crypto-Muslims, and "Erasmists" (the word they gave to anything resembling Protestantism, even reformist Catholics). It maintained the caste system of the Spanish Empire: "Pure bloods" on top, the converted "impure" below. It socially engineered the fear of non-conformity into multi cultural people.
Torquemada ran the show. The civil authorities merely carried out the wishes of the church....

studying Frankish nobility they would basically gather small armies and go kill each other and burn down one another's estates over the most trivial states. The relations between nobles was like soap opera, and nobles were really the only people that mattered.
The states were really only centralized in that when the monarch was strong, nobles pretty much expressed deference to them and were loyal to them, but otherwise it was every noble for themselves. The internal state of affairs were nearly anarchic.
This thread will be to discuss a global government and how it would work and how it would come to be. We will also discuss how to achieve this and maybe to create new ideologies.

We already got the only ideology the world needs.

How does Japan's rise from the end of the war to right now stack up against other civilizations in history? Because it seems to me to be one of the most incredible civilization rebuilds in history.

Because another nation payed for that rebuilding, look at west germany

That can't be all. We certainly spent enough on Afghanistan and Iraq, and look how that turned out.

Hey /his/
I just made a sling from so rope laying around and was wondering
How did people use sling back in ancient times. We all know the David and Goliath story but who else used them? What were the different styles of using them if there were more than one? How long were they used until they were replaced? Ect

The Rhodesians and Baleric islands people (not sure what the proper demonym is) were both pretty famous as slingers in Roman times.

Who were the moors exactly? Why are they portrayed as dark skinned Africans? Were they Arabs? Were they Africans? Were they just a coalition of African Muslims?
Moor was the generic term for North African
They were sometimes depicted as black for the "exotic" factor
Same reason black africans stereotyped Arabs as being snow white and light eyed

The original Moors were a North African tribe the Romans encountered in present day Morocco. Since the initial settlers of the Arab conquest of Spain were mostly from North Africa with a small Arab leadership, the name got attributed to them even if some of these troops happened to be from Algiers, Tunisia, Syria, or Yemen. Over time as the conquerors began to assimilate into the Visigothic and Hispano-Roman population of Spain, the word Moor began to branch out to include any Muslim of whatever background found in...

Why does philosophy claim there is no way to be fulfilled and be a hedonist? Seems like bias with no empirical basis whatsoever.
Science says it too, the hedonic treadmill ensures that you'll never be satisfied with a particular set of pleasures.
Whether or not you'll be satisfied with any other philosophical pursuit is another matter entirely.
Personally I'd contend that hedonism is a pretty fundamental aspect of our neurology, due to the way the reward mechanisms of our mind work. It serves a purpose and pleasure should be generally preferred to pain. But temper this with an understanding that pleasure is neither good, nor pain evil. Some things that make you happy may destroy...

First of all why do you need the sanction of "philosophy" to be a hedonist?
You don't need philosophy to be a hedonist. In fact hedonism is the default way of life of every man and beast. The only reason they don't get everything they want is because nature is harsh and society is complex.
You mean hedonist philosophy? I don't think the ascetics think like that

Mine is shit. I use keyboards to type. Far faster, far easier and for more comfortable.
