Has anyone here read Dietrich von hildebrand?I’ve only read his small essay on the dethronement of truth, which I’ve found to be quite insightful. Now I’m interested in more.
>>24891601His monograph on Wagner is good.
>>24891601I have five of his books, Aesthetics I and II, Ethics, Morality & Situation Ethics, and Jaws Of Death Gate Of Heaven. Where to start?
His book on purity and virginity is good
>When Hitler came to power in 1933 Hildebrand fled Germany, going first to Italy, and then to Vienna. There, with the support of the Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, he founded and edited an anti-Nazi weekly paper, Der Christliche Ständestaat ("The Christian Corporative State").No and I won‘t now.
>>24891933Yeah, He was a catholic with strong principles and didn’t crouch before the nazi scum. I have huge respect for him.
