Would Kant have supported Hitler?
>>24729875Kant was a pacifist and democrat.Hegel was influenced by Kant and I suppose Hegel sort of informed the world that Hitler grew up in but Hitler was an uneducated hobo so it’s not like he understood Hegel.
>>24729875Yes >>24729908>word salad
>>24729948Yes, Hegel does seem like word salad but there is some deep thinking in it. No doubt it was beyond Hitler’s ability.
>>24729875No, and Hitler was mostly the product of the horrors of the First World War
>>24729875Immanuel Kant was a real pisant who was very rarely stable
http://www.fpp.co.uk/Hitler/Hewel/Tgb_1941.html>11 July 1941 Friday>Führer-chat about Kant, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.>1.) Kant. purpose-bound, practical reason. First step into freedom from religious thoughts. But practical philosophy for state governments etc.>2.) Schopenhauer. The biggest, clearest spirit that every German should have read. Masterful in the argumentation. Writes the best German style. Political intelligence but there only rational tendency for defeatism. Also hyperbolic.>3.) Nietzsche. More intuitive than analytical. Affirmation of the laws of nature and of the struggle. Positive instructions. Therefore, the actual philosopher of National Socialism. Also Mussolini is greatest worshiper of Nietzsche
