because you are a layman who thinks abstractly
it is the philosophers job to think concretely

>>19141714
You are a retard

No one in the entire world except Hegel and his legion of fags have inverted the meaning of those terms, and using them in a Hegelian sense serves no purpose but ensure that people misunderstand you.

I don’t know what to tell you if you don’t see the importance of semantics, especially in philosophy.

lmao based

German philosophy is so overrated. You either eat the banana or do not eat the banana, life is really that simple. We figured it out in the stone age.

The writings of a true dimwit. If you can't see why the object in itself differs from the object for itself, you have provided a very strong empirical proof that you have no consciousness.

Blessed.... hegelbros it feels so good knowing we are literally bringing about the Kingdom of God on earth. I am so grateful I picked up the Science of Logic instead of becoming a golem or nihilist.

>semantics
???

Kant discusses philosophy of language the least. He has TONS to say about metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, science, mathematics, religion, ethics, politics, aesthetics, phenomenology and philosophy of mind. "Semantics" are nowhere in his work.

Don't you mean Plato and his legion of fags? And by that you mean all white philosophy?

>The English mentality, of course, has no aptitude for metaphysical conceptions, but it does not make any pretension in this respect either, while the German mentality, which is not really better endowed, has the greatest illusions. To realize this, we need only compare what the two peoples have produced in terms of philosophy.

>The English mind hardly left the practical order, represented by morality, sociology, and experimental science, represented by the science of psychology which it invented. When the English mind is concerned with logic, it is above all induction that he has in view and to which he gives preponderance over deduction. On the other hand, if we consider German philosophy, we only find in it hypotheses and systems with metaphysical pretensions, deductions from a fanciful starting point, ideas which might seem to be profound when they are simply nebulous; and this pseudo-metaphysics, which is everything that is farthest from true metaphysics, the Germans claim to find in others, whose conceptions they always interpret according to their own.

>Nowhere is this latter fault more invincible than with them, because no other people has such a narrowly systematic mindset. Moreover, the Germans, in this regard, just push defects which are common to the whole European race to the extreme. Their national pride leads them to behave in Europe as Europeans in general, infatuated with their imaginary superiority, behave throughout the world. The extravagance is the same in both cases, with a simple difference in degree. It is therefore natural that the Germans imagine that their philosophers have thought all that it is possible for men to conceive, and no doubt they believe they are doing a great honor to other peoples by assimilating the conceptions of these to this philosophy of which they are so proud.

>white philosophy
it never ceases to amaze me, what a grip the so-called white man has on the psyche of those who purport to oppose him

>>19142883
No, that's your own projection of your own paranoid internal world onto me. I think Hegel, Kant, and Plato were wise and spoke many truths.

>>19142926
I only quoted the other anon. I see no issue with it either way

>>19142931
fair enough, it appears my own paranoia got the better of me then

>>19142873
>Rene Guenon
ah yes, the goto for midwit poltards

>>19142944
on the other hand, it's true that germany has never produced meaningful philosophy. So the quote is correct in at least one regard.

>>19142926
