    I'm under the impression that German enthusiasm for Nietzsche was rather short-lived, lasting roughly as long as it took them to actually read him outside of his sister's carefully marketed version of his thought.

    Great video 😊. I think Nietzsche’s Aristocracy is very similar to Hellenistic Aristocracy. I would call this a “proto-Meritocracy,” since Aristocracy in Ancient Greek meant ‘rule by the best or excellent’.

    My brain is melting after watching everyone from Plato to Nietzsche in one sitting with 2x speed as a desperate attempt to revise for my Theory of Politics exam tomorrow (or actually today, since it is already 1am) Quite thankful for you to have come across my feed! Thanks to you I have for example been able to make some sense of Hegel's train of thought for the first time since starting my studies😂

    In the Latin word malus [bad] (which I place alongside melas [black]) the common man could be designated as the dark-coloured, above all as the dark-haired ("hic niger est" [this man is black]), as the pre-Aryan inhabitant of Italian soil, who stood out from those who became dominant, the blonds, that is, the conquering race of Aryans, most clearly through this colour. At any rate, the Gaelic race offers me an exactly corresponding example. The word fin (for example, in the name Fin-Gal), the term designating nobility and finally the good, noble, and pure, originally referred to the blond-headed man in contrast to the dusky, dark-haired original inhabitants.

    The political aspect is the last few minutes to this video. This speaker in the video didn't mention Hugo Drochon's book Nietzsche's Great Politics, from which he directly lifts some statements verbatim. The speaker in this video should give Hugo more credit. Overall, poor presentation by the speaker in this video.

    Best regards, apreciated fellow. I have barely discovered this channel, but I recognize myself in wonder, for the so eloquent reason in wich you bring to the profane the summarized thesis of such admirable men.
    I comment you, that, having allowed my daring to be overcome, I would like to ask you, some questions, vainly greedy:
    1- What is the - academic - difference between Politology or Political Science and Political Philosophy?
    2- And what are their practical and theoretical differences?
    3- Do you think such separation is useful; meaning productive?
    4- Should such condensation exist, as in the case of Astrophysics and Cosmology?
    5- Why, if so?

    Nietzsche here represented is way too positive towards the stoics.

    • @JS-dt1tn
      @JS-dt1tn 3 роки тому +1

      He was as against the stoics as he was against any of the great metaphysicians; both require some logical interlocutor to fetishize the world as it appears to them. Nietzsche is what Marx's materialism could have been.

    I would like to inquire if the "History of Political Thought" playlist is based on the book "A History Of Political Theory " By George Holland Sabine.
    Because the chronology of the content of the playlist shows a resemblance to the content of the book
    1)The city-state
    2)Political thought before Plato
    1st Video Athenian Democracy | Political Philosophy
    3)Plato, The Republic
    4)Plato, The statements and the laws
    2nd Video Plato - The Republic | Political Philosophy
    5) Aristotle's Political Ideals
    6) Aristotle's political Actualities
    3rd video Aristotle - Politics | Political Philosophy
    And much more.
    I am really thankful and if you have a playlist that covers this book then feel free to suggest it to me

    what did Nietzsche think about Plato?

    • @Firmus777
      @Firmus777 4 роки тому +4

      His view was negative. Plato was a student of Socrates and Socrates was the one who disturbed the balance of the Apollonian and Dionysian in favour of the Apollonian, thus setting philosophy on the wrong track and serving as a predecessor for Christ.
      Interestingly enough his early work Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks was originally supposed to cover philosophy up to and including Socrates and at this time it seems that his view of Socrates was more positive. But this only means that the decline of philosophy started with Plato according to Nietzsche. Socrates is more up in the air simply because we don't know enough about the historic Socrates.
      tl;dr: Nietzsche definitely didn't like Plato.
      You could draw some general agreements such as philosophy serving to better our lives, but the relation is definitely an antagonistic one.

    This anachronism is absurd. Germany in the 19th century was a white ethnostate, along with every other European nation. The concept that the European peoples would later be marginalized and then replaced by their own governments, via diversification policies, was inconceivable to a person in Nietzsche's time.

    • @philipp7935

      that's anachronistic. 19th century Germans would likely scoff at your implication that Spain or Italy was a white ethnostate

      This rewriting of the past to claim that some Europeans were considered to be non-Europeans is also fraudulent and has to go.
      Do you honestly believe that in the days of Spanish supremacy, when the Spanish King Charles V ruled half of Europe, including half of Germany, he was considered to be a non-European? Do you believe that Henry VIII's wife, the Spaniard Catherine of Aragon, Queen of England, was a non-European?
      Do you believe the following Italians were non-Europeans?
      -Leonardo da Vinci
      -Christopher Columbus
      -Galileo Galilei
      -Amerigo Vespucci, from which America itself takes its name.
      -virtually all popes of the Catholic Church.

      @@seandilallo8718 you're rewriting the past in your own head, instead of immersing your knowledge in the proper understanding of the culture and values of the period. Charles V wuld certainly have been seen as an "other" by early contemporary Lutherans, in quasiracial terms due to medieval preoccupation with religious sects. they certainly wouldn't have claimed he's not European because that is geographical not racial, but he would have been seen as Catholic and of half Latin stock as opposed to Northern/Germanic. Charles V would likely have seen Protestants as "racial" degenerates due to their conversion to heresy corrupting their bodies
