>"I may now touch upon the likeness of the English to the Jews, a topic discussed at length by Wagner. It cannot be doubted that of the Germanic races the English are in closest relationship to the Jews. Their orthodoxy and their devotion to the Sabbath afford a direct indication. The religion of the English is always tinged with hypocrisy, and his asceticism is largely prudery. The English, like women, have been the most unproductive in religion and in music; there may be irreligious poets, although not great artists, but there is no irreligious musician. So, also, the English have produced no great architects or philosophers. Berkeley, like Swift and Sterne, were Irish; Carlyle, Hamilton and Burns were Scotch. Shakespeare and Shelley, the two greatest Englishmen, stand far from the pinnacle of humanity; they do not reach so far as Angelo and Beethoven. If we consider English philosophers we shall see that there has been a great degeneration since the Middle Ages. It began with William of Ockham and Duns Scotus; it proceeded through Roger Bacon and his namesake, the Chancellor; through Hobbes, who, mentally was so near akin to Spinoza; through the superficial Locke to Hartley, Priestley, Bentham, the two Mills, Lewes, Huxley and Spencer. These are the greatest names in the history of English philosophy, for Adam Smith and David Hume were Scotchmen. It must always be remembered against England that from her came the soulless psychology. The Englishman has impressed himself on the German as a rigorous empiricist and as a practical politician, but these two sides exhaust his importance in philosophy. There has never yet been a true philosopher who made empiricism his basis, and no Engishman has got beyond empiricism without external help."- Otto Weininger
>>24876740>kills himself because he got filtered
>>24876747Everything he said about the greatest philosophers from the UK being Scottish and not English, and of the empiricist and political nature of English philosophy is entirely true and has been noted by several other major philosophers.
Another shitholer expresses his insecurity.
>>24876747>>24876760Are you able to address a single point he raised?
>>24876755so there's a chance for me?
>>24876740>this is the face of the man that chuds take dating advice onLOL
>>24876778>>24876755Both statements can right at the same time
>>24876740Philosophy is intellectual masturbation. The Continentals are welcome to it.
Anything 'beyond' empiricism is an absolute waste of time, not something to be proud of.
>>24876789>Philosophy is intellectual masturbation.You are one pathetic, moronic and superficial individual.Yes, Philosophy, which forms the basis of all modern thought, and was crucial to Legislation, Logic, Science, Computer Theory, the discovery of atoms, herbal medicine, literary movements, art, aesthetic, music and every other matter in life is simply "masturbation".This statement is so pathetic that in its irony fails to realise that if philosophy is masturbation, so too is every other activity in this life, rendering the statement null.
>>24876784I'm not a Chud. Weininger was celibate and wouldn't give "dating" advice.
>>24876797>You are one pathetic, moronic and superficial individual.Said the reddit-spacer.Go back, you pretentious faggot.
>>24876797>Philosophy is intellectual masturbation.wrong>>24876797>Yes, Philosophy, which forms the basis of all modern thought, and was crucial to Legislation, Logic, Science, Computer Theory, the discovery of atoms, herbal medicine, literary movements, art, aesthetic, music and every other matter in life is simply "masturbation".this aint philosophyin conclusionfirst guy is cool cause most people misunderstand philosophy, while the second guy is a pathetic, moronic and superficial individual.
>>24876803>fails to address the following point I made about the irony of his post>says philosophy is masturbation and calls ME the Redditor Yes, moron, the guy posting a thread about Weininger and Anglo philosophy being bad is a Redditor...when Redditors wouldn't dare read one page of Weininger and all suck off Bertrand Russell and John Locke.Hmmmmmm...
>>24876740Okay ranjeet
I was about to dispute his claim about English music then I remember the best "English" musician ever (Morrissey) is actually Irish
>>24876836Yes, and English "Rock" music was always a cringe derivative of American Rock music.
>>24876740Well I have no animosity towards England but he's mostly right, although the eternal Anglo excels at poetry.
He was ugly which clouded his senses when dealing with women.He was literally repulsive, his whole philosophy was a cope, a metaphysical sophistry to shroud his inceldom in.

>>24876740England has the greatest philosophers
>>24876740>Shakespeare and Shelley, the two greatest Englishmen>ShelleyInsane Shelley worship. Like all Shelley fans, if Weininger had lived longer than his youth he would he retracted this veneration.
>>24876740What about the dutch?
>>24876740Stopped reading at brits can't into music. He's right about foids tho.
>>24878190>it’s the incel that knows most about sex
>Berkeley, like Swift and Sterne, were IrishCOPEThey were Anglo BVLLS>Carlyle, Hamilton and Burns were ScotchLowland scots are anglos who are indistinguishable from Englishmen
>>24878190No, it's the physician.
>>24879531Irish Protestants became, after enough time, ethnically indistinguishable from the rest of the Irish, and were primarily responsible for the Irish nationalist movement beginning in the late 18th century.
Germany = GreeceEngland = Rome
>It cannot be doubted that of the Germanic races the English are in closest relationship to the JewsWrong, that's the Dutch.England suffered a coup d'etat by a Dutch-Jew joint venture in 1688, was transformed into the artificial corporate entity "United Kingdom", and ever since then has served as their base of global operations.Before that, England was a real country and a real culture, and was sincere in its spirituality (eg, Thomas More), which is why he is able to acknowledge the cultural output of Middle Ages England.
>>24876755The Scots were no better. Adam Smith was writing propaganda for the East India company.

>>24879384dude wasn't alive during the British Invasion, give him a break.
>>24876797Ive spent my life studying philosophy but that's a true statement about maybe 80% of it.
>>24879858>saar!
>>24876740The English have been very adept at mechanical thinking. And strangely, produced some very good literary creatives. But materialism ruled their heart for a long time and this is their enduring problem.
>>24876740Guenon says as much also, him and Weininger were some of the greatest European minds of their times
>>24876740>no Engishman has got beyond empiricism without external help
>>24879955>But materialism ruled their heart for a long time and this is their enduring
>>24879685>Irish Protestants became, after enough time, ethnically indistinguishable from the rest of the IrishWrong. They always remained a seperate class from the irish viewing themselves as superior protestants ruling over papist savages. None of that changed until the irish revolution where protestants were ethnically cleansed by the irish and had to adopt being irish to avoid being killed.>and were primarily responsible for the Irish nationalist movement beginning in the late 18th century.Wrong. Only Ulster Scots presbyterians were responsible for the united irishmen, not anglicans, and most presbyterians were against them anyway.Retarded taig>>24879847how was the glorious revolution a coup if 90% of the british public supported it and rose up against jame's papist autocratic regime?
>>24879831What about France?
>>24876740>>24879831Germans have no actual culture that wasn't stolen from britsGoethe and Schiller were inspired by Ossian, Edward Young and Thomas Percy, among othersBrits invented Romanticism and Goethe and Schiller copied them.>In 1759, at the age of 76, he published a piece of critical prose under the title of Conjectures on Original Composition which put forward the vital doctrine of the superiority of "genius," of innate originality being more valuable than classic indoctrination or imitation, and suggested that modern writers might dare to rival or even surpass the "ancients" of Greece and Rome.>The Conjectures was a declaration of independence against the tyranny of classicism and was at once acclaimed as such becoming a milestone in the history of English, and European, literary criticism. It was immediately translated into German at Leipzig and at Hamburg and was widely and favourably reviewed. The cult of genius exactly suited the ideas of the Sturm und Drang movement and gave a new impetus to the cult of Young’>The young Goethe told his sister in 1766 that he was learning English from Young and Milton, and in his autobiography he confessed that Young's influence had created the atmosphere in which there was such a universal response to his seminal work The Sorrows of Young Werther. Young's name soon became a battle-cry for the young men of the Sturm und Drang movement. Young himself reinforced his reputation as a pioneer of romanticism by precept as well as by example.
>>24880142>Thomas Percy’s influential Reliques of Ancient English Poetry (1765) was also much admired, and the philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder, who had been sent a copy by Rudolf Erich Raspe (of Munchausen fame) in August 1771, the same month Herder wrote the first draft of his essay Über Ossian und die Lieder alter Völker, responded to calls for a German Percy. In 1773, he began translating sections of the Reliques and collecting other North European folksongs for a volume of ‘Alte Volkslieder, englisch und deutsch zusammen’ which, though sent to the press, on account of numerous errors by the printer was never published. In 1777, Herder returned to the project, and the first volume, now titled simply Volkslieder, appeared the following year>A glance at the contents pages reveals the extraordinary range of the originals—Lithuanian, Spanish, Swiss, Danish, Skaldic, Morlach, Greek, Estonian, Lapp, Latvian, Greenlandic—but as Percy’s Reliques was the impetus, most come from English or Scots. Other sources include Ramsay’s Tea-table Miscellany, D’Urfey’s Wit and Mirth, or Pills to purge Melancholy, Camden’s Remaines, Ossian, and, perhaps surprisingly, Shakespeare (Measure for Measure, Cymbeline (two extracts), The Tempest, As You Like It (two extracts), Othello, Twelfth Night, Hamlet), who also provides the quotation on the title-page of the first volume (Laertes’ ‘A violet in the youth of primy nature …’, in German). Goethe is another: the first appearance in print of ‘Klaggesang von der edlen Frauen des Agan-Aga’ (‘Die Uebersetzung dieses edlen Gesanges ist nicht von mir’, notes Herder), plus songs collected in Alsace.It's funny seeing germans pretend they invented all of european culture when in reality Sturm and Drang came about because germans saw anglo works and wanted to recreate them
>>24880142>Germans have no actual culture that wasn't stolen from britswhat? they literally colonised england and english people today name their ancestors after them - angles and saxons
>>24880160Why do retarded americans confuse the term german and germanic?Scandinavians are Germanic but are not german. Germany isn't even an ethnically coherent nation; Irish people are closer genetically to swedes than north germans are to south germans.

>>24880068Guenon was an orientalist freemason. There's no reason to take him seriously. For everything he accuses the English of doing he's much worse.

Dude, metaphysics is gay -- that's why Germans are so good at sucking cock.Everyone knows this.

>>24880972>. There's no reason to take him seriouslyaside from his mathematically-precise arguments you dumb hylic
>>24876740Anglos are not meant to do philosophy. Anglos rule the seas, trade and do high tech. It's a continental thing to do philosophy and heavy industry.
>>24876778What points? Calling empiricist psychology "soulless" is not a refutation of empiricism. Saying that Shakespeare doesn't reach as far as Beethoven is meaningless unless we know what axis we're comparing them on. There's literally nothing to respond to.
