Join the Spengler course here: halkyonacademy.teachable.com/... Live seminars begin October 7th. You can also just purchase the course contents without seminars.
One of the main channels commenting on "Le déclin de l'occident" on CZcams in French is a duo of African nationalists of some sort, and it's been popular with the leader of the Chechen I believe.
I have been considering Heidegger’s critiques of Spengler (both in the Black Notebooks as well as during sections of “What Is Called Thinking?”), in light of my recent studies. Spengler is indispensable for understanding the early 20th century thought. Please start a reading group for the Decline of The West, soon.
@@JohannesNiederhauser I would undoubtedly join the online academy, then. The original content and lecture material you offer now, is invaluable, I just don’t have the extra time at the moment.
Those remarks made me pull out my old copy of Spengler to read him at last. If Heidegger loathes him that much it must be because Spengler saw something significant
@@JohannesNiederhauser Although Heidegger is a great philosopher - undoubtedly - Spengler is something greater. Like Copernicus. Like Nietzsche. Like Ibn Khaldun. A cornerstone of Western History.
>Says critical theory isn't philosophy >Meanwhile recommends Spengler's cyclical history voodoo I think this recommendation is telling for other reasons...
I don't know what Johannes is talking about here. Spengler thinks we are a rational animal, but we are Dasein. Spengler is still entrenched in Nietzschean metaphysics.
@@EcstaticTemporality Heidegger is a direct confrontation with Hegel AND Nietzsche, that being said, you should be an expert in both. However, you will not know who you are if you read Spengler, he only repeats what Aristotle said 2300 years ago.
@@DawsonSWilliams Not really, both Spengler and Jünger are both forms of Nietzschean metaphysics. You only need to read Nietzsche to understand how he inverts Plato and Hegel. I'm not saying reading Spengler is not beneficial, just saying it's not necessary. Heidegger actually says "The Decline of the West" is a horrible book based on historiology(Historie/Geschichtswissenshaften).
He’s not western, but Malcolm X supposedly liked Spengler’s work, if you can believe it.

I might offer a course on Spengler through my Academy at some point.
@@JohannesNiederhauser Would be great!

Which book? Thanks.
The Decline of the West.
Ty
Heidegger wasn't very fond of him. Some harsh criticisms of him in Heidegger's Parmenides.

@@JohannesNiederhauser interesting take from you! I wonder if it's also the German spirit to criticize harshly 😂

ach du bist der größte :D
Nothing will help you. Eros helps or doesn't.

I don’t mention cyclical history at all. What are you afraid of?
Despite the spenglerian metanarrative, Spengler is indispensable for understand the basis of Critical Theory itself: the faustian will of power.
And also Imperium by F. P. Yockey!
Oh no
Why won't Heidegger help us?
I don't know what Johannes is talking about here. Spengler thinks we are a rational animal, but we are Dasein. Spengler is still entrenched in Nietzschean metaphysics.
But I love to read Heidegger!

@@Jebusite100 Wouldn’t people still need to actually have read Spengler to even know how he positions man in Western Metaphysics?
