Clear exposition of difficult but relevant ideas in political philosophy, with special emphasis on alternatives to leftist postmodernism and liberal modernity. Plato. Aristotle. Nietzsche. Heidegger. Leo Strauss. Alexander Dugin. If you want more, visit millermanschool.com for courses that go deeper. Thank you for your support.
What Dugin is saying is that you can't handle the truth. However, his theories sound a bit obscure/confusing. I'm a bit skeptical. He inferred the existence of the past. Why? Because there would be no Russian history if that were true and granted he is the ideological dynamo behind Putin's Russia he can't infer that the past does not exist because his hands are tied; he's a political figure and as such not a genuine philosopher. His theories do not revolve around the truth because they can't contradict anything because that would bring into question the veracity of the current regime. Hence the past exists! But does it? Where is it? In historical artifacts which themselves do not exist until observed? That's the factual scientific approach. Unbiased. So how wordy or complicated one needs to be in order to grasp the truth. Even Einstein said if it's true it must be simple so a child could understand it. Personally, I have no qualms against the Russian regime as I know nothing about it. But Dugin does not strike me as a true philosopher because he's an ideologue.
So much Yes! This is really great, Dugin has already succeeded in creating within and out of the intelligently interwoven principles of our beautifully complex existence. I find myself still stuck in the mere thinking, perceiving, subtle being of these truly diverse fundaments, the logoi we shall bring to life in our world. Praying to connect to my role in the real life theater that we were born for. As Michael has already, this is a new gold standard interview, with exactly the right kind of questions, leaving space for the other to expand his contents and giving them their deserved appreciation. Thank you so much.
A student came to a Zen master, and said: Teach me about reality. Fine, said the master, take brushes and paints, go sit by the window, and paint the scenery outside. After an hour, the master came by and asked, What do you paint? Why, said the student, I paint that which I see. But what do you see? asked the master. Well, said the student, I see that which is. But, said the master. It is no great feat to paint that which is. The feat is to paint that which isn't. But, Master! cried the student, what is there that isn't? Ah, said the Master. Once you know that, we'll change places. you become the master, I the student.
Very interesting and I largely agree with his formulations.But Time is not created by consciousness, but coterminous with it. Time ends when we end, but there is a transcendental level of which Time is merely an image--Aion.
was mostly following till the end, which was the juicy bit explaining dugins actual description of what the future is. except we just get a bombshell dropped on us about trauma without any explanation
