He's right it is pretentious. I actually studied philosophy and modern philosophy is meant to be written clearly and simply. The dude in the pic could have said the same thing in half the amount of words.
>>76687950

I don't know about that. If you mean modern as in written today, yeah. If you mean modern as in written in the 20th century and onward, nah.

>>76689006
And how many books by him have you read?
>>76688543
desu analytic philosophy is a Jewish circle-jerk full of dead-end discourses and tenured professors looking to keep their jobs.
Continental philosophy isn't better.
Only the new digital philosophy is promising.

>In Christians pride and humility, in Jews haughtiness and cringing, are ever at strife; in the former self-consciousness and contrition, in the latter arrogance and bigotry, In the total lack of humility of the Jew lies his failure to grasp the idea of grace. From his slavish disposition springs his heteronomous code of ethics, the “Decalogue,” the most immoral book of laws in the universe, which enjoins on obedient followers, submission to the powerful will of an exterior influence, with the reward of earthly well-being and the conquest of the world. His relations with Jehovah, the abstract Deity, whom he slavishly fears, whose name he never dares to pronounce, characterise the Jew; he, like the woman, requires the rule of an exterior authority. According to the definition of Schopenhauer, the word “God” indicates a man who made the world. This certainly is a true likeness of the God of the Jew. Of the divine in man, the true Jew knows nothing; for what Christ and Plato, Eckhard and Paul, Goethe and Kant, the priests of the Vedas, and Fechner, and every Aryan have meant by the divine, for what the saying, “I am with you always even to the end of the world” – for the meaning of all these the Jew remains without understanding. For the God in man is the human soul, and the absolute Jew is devoid of a soul.

>>76689881
Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists, the Eternal Anglo spat out into time.
>>76689836
Well I would recommend everyone start with Plato but if you're really low IQ philosophy might not be for you.

He wasn't implying that God is dead was a good thing ,in fact the quite the opposite.

"Moderation is not an ideology. It is not an opinion. It is not a thought. It is an absence of thought. If you believe the status quo of 2007 is basically righteous, then you should believe the same thing if a time machine transported you to Vienna in 1907. But if you went around Vienna in 1907 saying that there should be a European Union, that Africans and Arabs should rule their own countries and even colonize Europe, that any form of government except parliamentary democracy is evil, that paper money is good for business, that all doctors should work for the state, etc., etc.—well, you could probably find people who agreed with you. They wouldn't call themselves "moderates", and nor would anyone else."

Chu. On returning he found that he had
allowed his wife and children to be hungry and cold. What should he do?”
The king said, “Renounce him.”
“Suppose the chief criminal judge could not control the officers. What should he do?”
The king said, “Get rid of
him.”
“Suppose that within the four borders of the state there is no proper government?”
The king looked left and right and spoke of other things.

“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers – and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce – and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution – and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”

This isn't a law of the universe.
There are plenty of strong people in our era, because they were raised by people who realized that strength of character is necessary. Not all of us here learned what we know through trial and error, some of us were raised to accept reality as it is in a logical manner.
What is necessary is to regulate the raising of strong people. In order to do this and prevent future degradation of our society once all relevant opponents have been vanquished, it is necessary to instill martial beliefs and ideals into our society, to maintain strength.

It had been replaced by the catastrophe. We were living in permanent unrest, and no one could trust anyone else.

I like this one, anon. The sort of relativist bullshit he's criticizing is a big pet peeve of mine.
>>76692850
He's fun but his philosophy breaks down when carried out to its logical extreme.
>>76697416
Logical extreme? His way of life was a performance ridiculing contemporary life. He lived to be offensive.
Philsophy began with Socrates and ended with Diogenes. Everything since then has been a pointless circlejerk of definitions and masturbation.
What does it matter how we define esoteric mid emotions? How does pursuing these definitions enhance your life, or the lives of others? Philosophy devolved into political sophistry soon after it became a real discipline because they solved all problems necessary to solve and ran out of shit to discuss that mattered.

>My conception of freedom. — The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us. I give an example. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions. One knows, indeed, what their ways bring: they undermine the will to power; they level mountain and valley, and call that morality; they make men small, cowardly, and hedonistic [genüsslich] — every time it is the herd animal that triumphs with them.

I'm an American, so I don't think we have an honors year. I did do an honors thesis. I'm going to law school though. Job prospects for Philosophy Ph.D in America are shit, so it's not worth it. If the prospects were better I would pursue it.

Not dead.
Just decaying. Nothing will truly die.
An unforeseen thought will come into the light of the mind soon enough. Keep reading. Keep pondering. Keep discussing. Do not forget to write it down.
Whether it is you, or I, or another man or woman on this planet who comes across this or those thoughts is not important, what is important is that it is articulated and discussed.
Something will always eat at the corpse of the dead. And is philosophy is truly dead, then one must still be gaining something by feeding upon it.
Regardless. Eat, shit, sleep, fuck, and be happy.

I agree with him on everything however although he correctly pointed out that islam is violent and seeks to convert the world with violence he actually said that this was a good thing! Violence is good to Evola. Practically, I don't see how this would work. Do you then fight and kill all muslims? Makes no sense in the long run.

>>76718976
But he was biased because he was an extremely shitty and temperamental person.
He spent his last years knocking door to door on his former students homes to go on his knees crying and asking for forgiveness.
He was a terrible teacher that abused his students.
Fun fact:
Not a single one of them accepted his apologies.
>>76718976
Also, that's not a concept that he came up with at all.
That's been said since forever, that "demons live in the mind"
Maybe even further back than Thales and Parmenides, which are some of the oldest guys we know about.
It's also shared by many other cultures around the world.
>>76719194
Several of his former students were at his deathbed, so i'm not entirely sure that he was quite so awful as you describe.
Irregardless, one doesn't have to be a good person to open up the world, or philosophise.
>>76719540
But his views are deeply affected by how he is and his life.
I think that's a shitty quote because he was biased, as I said before.
>>76719442
Sadly, i haven't read nearly enough philosophy to be knowledgeable about he said what first. You know what they say, and it certainly applies to me at this point, Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
>>76719654
Which is another quote that amounts to nothing.
If you havent read then read, but never listen to quotes as if they held any truth at all.
Speak about whatever you want, it's always up to you to be informed or not.
In the end it's all about the discussion, so you dont need to read at all to argue.
Also reading philosophy is not an "upgrade" to your knowledge (if you understand the metaphor). It is a sidegrade.
The most iliterate cunt can argue and btfo any so-called "intellectual", given that he's capable of arguing of course.

I suppose that is true. It probably wasn't the best quote of his i could have used.

I've never read a single sentence from Evola that proposed that islam was "good" or "positive" or should be picked up by whites. Maybe you are thinking of René Guénon.

>Philsophy began with Socrates and ended with Diogenes. Everything since then has been a pointless circlejerk of definitions
What the fuck are you talking about? Socrate's own philosophy is basically arguing over definitions, he's on a quest to arrive at the "true definition" of everything including basic stuff like math.

We are living in the Kali Yuga, the end times, a time of irreversible spiritual decay. We have, as a people, lost the spiritual hierarchy that all great societies are structured around. However, one can still cultivate excellence and higher principles on a personal level. By looking to tradition, and especially esoteric/mythological aspects of tradition, the road map to greatness is there.

Most of the world still isn't ready to accept Nietzsche. The "edgy syphilitic ranting" ad-hominem is a garbage argument and does absolutely nothing to challenge his ideas. Furthermore his work was made before the illness took his mind. If anyone got around to actually reading Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, and the Antichrist.
If tumblr tier meme criticism is all a guy gets and he freaks out lefties his ideas are probably worth reading.

Based de Maistre, too bad a lot of his works still aren't translated to english.

Marcus is the true embodiment of human excellence. One of the few true philosopher kings.
His "teacher", Epictetus is also one of my favourites. His teachings are harsh but at the same time always a reliable source of wisdom:
“No man is free who is not master of himself.”
― Epictetus
“The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. ”
― Epictetus
“You are a little soul carrying around a corpse”
― Epictetus
“Circumstances don't make the man, they only reveal him to himself.”
― Epictetus
“He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.”
― Epictetus
“Any person capable of angering you becomes your master;
he can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him.”
― Epictetus
“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.”
― Epictetus
“Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.”
― Epictetus

Confirmed for not knowing a goddamn thing. I don't particularly care for Nietzsche on a personal level, but you are dead wrong about him. In his time, he was considered to be something of a prodigy when it came to philosophy. Almost every one of his undergraduate papers was published in journals. He was offered a teaching position at a record young age. He was widely respected for his mastery of the classics, especially Greek history/philosophy. Even people who didn't like his philosophical assertions never once questioned his quality of scholarship.
Let me guess, you skimmed Zarathustra, didn't get it, and decided it was a rant?

This may be too late but it's based on the fact that liberalism is a state religion trying to pretend that it's not, the Cathedral is the deep state that promotes and legitimizes it.

>If tumblr tier meme criticism is all a guy gets and he freaks out lefties his ideas are probably worth reading.
so we should therefore pay attention to a tumblr-tier meme "philosopher"?
lol

could you point out some places where he makes cogent, rational, logically formulated arguments of the classically understood type?
serious question. perhaps he did, and i just never saw them

>classically understood type
You're missing the point anon, the big thing about Nietzsche is that he realised that reason is almost entirely impotent. When you accept a "cogent, rational, logically formulated argument", you are in most cases (not all but most) simply taking a liking to the first principles it's founded upon. The actual argument is irrelevant. You're just won over by the point of view it's expounding.
As a result, Nietzsche's writing is incredibly rhetorical. He knows there's no way to legitimately prove any value, so instead he writes so ferociously and vividly he makes you feel what he feels too.

What an enlightened fellow
>>76733098
Still missing the point

Spot fucking on
Nietzsche is considered a continental philosopher, not an analytic. You're looking for rational argumentation where there isn't any.
>>76687662
>>76687950
Fucking idiots, you're not supposed to use "complicated" or "simple" words, you use the words best fit to express what you have in mind, it's about precision of meaning.
>>76734880
Not to mention Nietzsche trashed analytics before it was even invented. The whole movement actually emerged as a big reaction to his claim that rational arguements are all rest on axioms of personal feelings. They spent decades toying around with language and logic until Wittgenstein had to come and BTFO them out.
>We're working with language, language is subjective, that means anything said with language us is subjective!
What about my super autestic language that sucks all the passion and soul out of life, that's pretty objective right?
>Lol nope, it's just autestic
Well than everything is fucked and nothing can be said!
>LOL n00b l2 beetle box!

His philosophical system is just a form of Western Buddhism stripped of it's mysticism. Waste of time desu senpai although he'd not a bad, difficult or obtuse writer so you could do much worse.
His essays and aphorisms on other topics are great though, worth reading. He an intelligent man who wrote well. The system he arrived at is not worthwhile (unless you are attracted to Eastern religions and want a philosophical underpinning to them), but on other topics he's an intersting and worthwhile person to read.
Get one of these misc. compilations of his minor works.

That's because worship of God / gods has switched to worship of knowledge
This is a fatal mistake I think. Not a single great scientist of history worshiped knowledge above God, and the scientific method explicitly goes against the worship of knowledge as well.

Hitler got along great with Islam.
Muslims tend to fascism so they were his greatest allies.
Also hitler was a power hungry dictator, regardless of what this board says, so it's only natural that he admired Muhhamad

Thing is though, he got along with Islam so far as they stayed contained to Islamic countries. He never would have accepted or endorsed the Islamization of Europe. He was pro-nationalist first, which extended to respecting other strong nationalist tendencies.

>i'm aware I don't have all the facts
>I don't have the time to spend getting all the facts
>some of the necessary facts are beyond our current means of observation and we cannot know with certainty until our tools improve

He's like a sjw deliberately misinterpreting things and railing against them like some champion of common sense.
