Hello Mister Hicks
Concerning Friedrich Nietzsche, we must not forget his great anti-anti-Semitic turn, salutary in my opinion, with a virulent anti-anti-Semitism, which led him to hate his sister’s husband who wanted to found a community of pure Aryan race in South America. Sister who “nordified” (nordir, “nordifier” in French) his thought to stick it to Nazism. This is clearly a falsification of Nietzsche’s thought. She did not hesitate to modify certain texts in a very questionable way, to make them correspond to her own views. The most problematic falsification was that of one of Nietzsche’s major projects, but which remained unfinished and in the state of scattered notes, which she brought together according to her idea and published under the title The Will to Power. (Concerning Thus Spoke Zarathustra, it’s a parody of the Bible in my opinion, very funny by the way. Woody Allen could have made a movie about it. Or Mel Brooks…) 🙂
A question I ask: I began to imagine that a “post-modernism” could already be found in the origin of Western human thought… That this destructive thought has always existed. And concerning modernism, is not God’s world modern in essence? Is not the sun modern? The stars, a butterfly? The atom, matter itself? And would not God be an insurmountable modern?
Best!
Oops, last one, I wanted to tell you about it but I forgot.
I am reading your: Foundationalism and the Genesis of Justification.
I knew absolutely nothing about all this. It is a discovery and it seems very interesting. I have not understood anything for the moment, but I will make an effort. I am only at the summary, summary on which one can already spend hours… 🙂
