...the form of the positive judgement is accepted as something perfectly correct in itself, the question whether such a judgement is true depending solely on the content. Whether this form is in its own self a form of truth, whether the proposition it enunciates, the individual is a universal, is not inherently dialectical, is a question that no one thinks of investigating. It is straightway assumed that this judgement is, on its own account, capable of containing truth and that the proposition enunciated by any positive judgement is true, although it is directly evident that it lacks what is required by the definition of truth, namely, the agreement of the Notion and its object...

>.the form of the positive judgement is accepted as something perfectly correct in itself
the form of the positive judgment, the affirmation, is always true, or does it depends on the content? if you take the affirmation in itself, which takes the form of 'the thing is always this', you get something that can be true and can 'be something' ('the thing is always this' as its own content has qualities), but doesn't get something that exists as something you experience through something given to what gets affirmed as content

IDK, his concerns over freedom, self-determination, and self-governance would make me think that he would really enjoy reading the Patristics. However, I am not sure from his work or blog that he is at all familiar with ancient and medieval philosophy. Some programs really skimp on this, seeing it as not "hard philosophy," because it isn't trying to be close to the sciences (as still defined by the "anti-metaphysical" stance) or focusing on logic. His embrace of eliminitivism is particularly puzzling because this is a position with gaping flaws, which is why it has never become remotely popular.

The Dunyain are sort of a twisted version of the Christian Platonists/monks. But because they are framed from a modern, eliminitivist standpoint, it becomes just a shallow husk, self-control in the pursuit of freedom, but with no conception of the Transcedentals.

You can literally buy Mein Kampf from any bookstore. Turner Diaries has been out of print for years so try thrift stores. Anyway, if you want to buy radical books to masturbate your wounded ego and flash that chip on your shoulder your about three decades late to jump on the Turner Diaries hype train. Its all Sayyid Qutb and Dugin now. Good look finding anyone who'll sell you a copy of Milestones that isn't a fed.

I wholeheartedly agree with your perspective. Efficiency is a good word when the outcome of the work done is objectively measurable. In the chaotic realm of human cultural evolution it's very hard to say of we're progressing or regressing.

Children were pushed harder without distractions.

> At the age of three he was taught Greek. By the age of eight, he had read Aesop's Fables, Xenophon's Anabasis, and the whole of Herodotus, and was acquainted with Lucian, Diogenes Laërtius, Isocrates and six dialogues of Plato. He had also read a great deal of history in English and had been taught arithmetic, physics and astronomy.

>At the age of eight, Mill began studying Latin, the works of Euclid, and algebra, and was appointed schoolmaster to the younger children of the family. His main reading was still history, but he went through all the commonly taught Latin and Greek authors and by the age of ten could read Plato and Demosthenes with ease.

Robet Filmer's Patriarcha is a defense of Feudal Monarchy, as is Konstantin Pobedostonostosnsotsotnsotssosostonostkivioskov's Reflects Of A Russian Statesman.

The problem that you're going to run into is that Feudalism was always a three-way tug of war between the King, the Vatican, and the nobility. The King and Vatican have plenty of literature supporting their rule ("The USSR but the Pope is Dear Leader" is called Caesaropapism by its detractors and Distributism by its supporters btw) but the nobility as a whole don't really because they were always in an awkward spot where their oligarchic thuggery could never be justified as it was never able to present a stable vision for society. So, you're never going to get anything to the tune of "what if we let La Cosa Nostra run society" because no one actually wants that (every nobleman actually wanted to be the king or Pope).

Yes that's true.

>Although, if you look at the state of the online left today they are about as anti-intellectual and mentally deficient as /pol/.
I agree with that too. I think part of it is they mine a lot from past thinkers but it's often a hodge-podge of ideas, often revived in an out-of-context way, or they'll use a guy from the 1960s in to justify something today but it's hard to make it "work" because the world has changed a lot, so you necessarily have to mystify things a bit.

I was thinking of the campus protests over Palestine and the anti-colonial discourse involved. The PLO was formed in 1964 and modeled itself on the FLN which had won in Algeria in 1962. Fanon had been a member of the FLN. But the PLO more or less failed totally. If you squint at it, the conflicts look kind of similar within an ideologically constructed narrative, but there are some holes in theory as demonstrated by the decades of actual history since then.

>>23371847
>By today's standards, many left-wing philosophers of the past would be seen as hardline reactionaries.
There have been people who say more recent left-wing philosophers have more in common with hardline reactionaries, like Foucault in the late 70s saying the Khomeinists in Iran have a "different regime of truth than ours" which makes them inscrutable in an interesting way (despite the fact that they'd have killed Foucault because he was gay). People say that Foucault was an anti-Enlightenment thinker and that is bound up in a lot of irrationalism (which is common in "right-wing" political thought).

But the history of ideas is also weird like that. Ideas are constantly flowing around like streams of water that are mixing together in weird swirls. Ideas move from the fringes to the center, and from the center to the fringe. They move from right to left, and left to right.
