Why is German Idealism so loved on this board?
>>23536322Why do you keep making German idealism threads?
because its ideally german, duh.
>>23536322Because of German Autism.
>>23536322That particular group of thinkers and the subsequent generation of thinkers did make advances that a significant number of subsequent thinkers are still trying to surpass.
>>23536322trannylover board
>>23536322Bcuz Kant & Hegel were fucking awesome
>>23536322it's not just this board, it's quite popular in the academy-pittsburgh school loves hegel, and so do many french conties from the 20th century-recent scholarship has moved away from purely analytic philosophy and the analytic rejection of hegel -kant's CPR is considered to be a pinnacle of phl achievement-german idealists are heavily marx adjacent, (and marxists they make up an innumerable amount of academic fags)
>>23536322idk why one would consider kant german. He's from konigsberg which was considered prussia then which was considered a baltic state. Now its a russian enclave called Kaliningrad and its in the fucking eastern top tip below lithuania. He's as much german as a fucking catelan.
>>23536985Marxist here. German idealism is the height of bourgeois ideology.
>>23536322Probably /pol/ spillover. It's not so much that they love it, but that they are manchildren trying to embody an archetypal conception of a modern Nazi.
>>23537039If it gets them reading Kant and Hegel instead of making bad videoclips.
>>23537026
>>23537016Do you know anything about the history of Königsberg? It was a thoroughly German city in the 13th century and remain so until the Second World War. Kant was a German, he spoke German, he wrote in German, he was born in a German city, etc.
>>23537089>venezuela has been speaking spanish since the 16th century, venezuelans are spanish
>>23536322Western philosophy was garbage until the process philosophers.
>>23537089except it's a Russian city
>>23536322Because it affirms the ideal, i.e. art, literature. It defends the pristine human individuality against the oppressive influences of modernity that everywhere apparent.
>>23537148The Germans there came from Hanseatic trading cities from Germany and Scandinavia, not mutts
>>23537089>>23537148>>23537148>>23537371Königsberg has never been a Russian citiy. This is just after the last world war.Königsberg has been founded by German cursaders during the middle ages and belonges to different political strucutes during it's history.The people of Königsberg was mostly from German heritage, ethnical speaking, it was a German citiy just like others.Kant wrote some of his works in Latin and others, like die Kritik der Reinen Vernunft, in German.
>>23536322because it's correct?
when it comes down to it the germans, french, greeks were the only ones good at philosophy
>>23537626>french
>>23537026This only applies to Schelling, but how could you know?
>>23537016>He's from konigsberg which was considered prussia Which was the leading state of the Second Reich dummkopf.
>>23537148technically linguistically this is ironically true. this is why they are hispanoamericans. you are especially retarded. im sorry.
Because it was when philosophy peaked.
>>23537026yeah yeah, i've heard this before. luckily this particular retardation has withered away>>23537735some marxists believe in a doctrine of action purity. There's a few components to this:1 - sitting around and thinking is not action, and the thing that enables you to do said thinking are the actions (labour) of others. it's bourgeois idealism in the sense that you're a leech playing with concepts2 - meaningful change in the world (IE, social transformation towards communism) will only come about through taking action, there's no amount of thinking that will ever get you there.if they're a little more subtle, they might even add that the heavy emphasis on the mental can only come from being a bourg in the first place
>>23536322Because of /pol/chuds pretending they know anything.
>>23537148The German inhabitants of Königsberg were mostly German immigrants from Hanseatic cities as another anon stated. The native Old Prussian were mostly wiped out by the Teutonic Knights
midwits like obfuscated shit
Kant was probably the last avatar of Zeus before Kali Yuga
>germanPOLPOLPOLPOL>specific technical terms usedPRETENTIOUS
>>23537626What are books on Prussian Idealism?
>>23539455Not really what you're asking for but Prussianism and Socialism by Spengler is really good
>>23537604>>23537534>>23537766>>23538663it is interesting how geographical distance is quickly forgotten in our age.
I don't read philosophy anymore. All the philosophy I need already exists within me or I can filter it from literary fiction.
>>23536322It's deeply metaphysical which is why it's more interesting to talk about
>>23538407an actual marxist (someone who believes in dialectical materialism) wouldn't stoop down to doing the job of an useful idiot. writing philosophy or poetry is unironically more useful.
>>23536322It's peak pseud posturing philosophy because it requires so much prerequisite knowledge to understand
>>23539597This. Philosophy is kind of garbage tier without metaphysics. Witness analytic philosophy.
>>23539597>>23539972"Metaphysicians are musicians without musical capability"-Rudolf Carnap
>>23540315Rudolf Carnap was a retarded midwit as shown by his misunderstanding of Heidegger
>>23539972So then wtf is analytic metaphysics. Non-metaphysical metaphysics?
>>23537026>alt-bourgeois here
>>23537016This has to be a troll
