Which is why Ayn Rand labelled Immanuel Kant, not Marx, the root of all this evil. Because he, in ‘Critique of Pure Reason’, managed to convince all the faggots of the world that reason and objective truth don’t exist.
Lol, they took control when the catholic church came to power. The bullshit mongers, aka international bankers behind the church was in power ever since.
I mean, let's be real here; the same people have been running the government for longer than most of us here have been alive, and they inherited their position from the same folks of the previous generation.
convince all the faggots of the world that reason and objective truth don't exist.
This is so true, anon.
One of the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity.
It is antithetical to everything taught by Jesus Christ, Socrates, Aristotle, and every other hero of classical Western Culture.
There is only ONE truth.
The idea that truth is relative is EVIL. ("Your truth is not my truth....")
This concept is used to justify evil behavior. (pedophilia, trafficking, genocide, etc.)
Trump's EO yesterday mandating classical architecture for all federal buildings cannot be understated. The influence Kant's philosophy had over the arts and architecture is what has directly led to the downfall of the West over the past 100 years.
Kant's idea must be defeated. It is the root of all of this evil.
Yeah I'm confused by this as well. Kant adhered to the notion that immorality is logically inconsistent. Kant was a relativist only in that he believed that there can be two disagreeing principles that aren't necessarily evil.
Moral relativism as a philosophical tradition became popular in the late 1800s and took off in the 1920s and 1950s-60s.
She had always been criticized for her flat and unbelievable characters.
I used to think this was true, and I still do to some extent for her protagonists.
What had blown me away this year is how spot on her villains were. This makes sense because she grew up in the USSR, which was decades ahead of where we are now in going down this road.
I just couldn't believe that the combination of evil and stupid she portrayed could exist. I had to see it myself.
Funny, being that the conceptual distinction of "objective" and "subjective" as used today is a Kantian invention and Kant even believed in an objective deontological moral truth.
Keep in mind, he was alive at a time when Enlightenment rationality was demolishing faith in God. Kant righteously opposed what was happening and understood that the world of fact and the world of value/symbol needed to be separated.
Yes, you can look at the disposition of phenomena and noumena as early postmodernism (but keep in mind that postmodernism is largely founded on true observation - it's where the post-structuralist faggots ally these true observations with Marxism that the filth starts spewing. But this isn't to say that the postmodern grandfathers and their axioms are to blame. Foucault, Derrida, etc took valid observation down a terrible, spiteful road).
Kant was able to formulate a philosophy that somewhat reconciled reason and faith & spawned an incredible branch of Christian philosophy that stood for a while as the only bastion against complete rational nihilism and/or commie slavery (see Kierkegaard vs. Hegel).
Wrong. It's based on the principle that the only truth is what the Party says it is, that objectivity is what the Party says it is.
The real truth is that it is impossible for humans to be 100% objective, and that's OK. We have to accept some uncertainty because that is the nature of Nature. But the Party wouldn't have that. To the Party there is 100% certainty: that of the politburo and the secretary general.
Their ideology is rooted on the principle that there is no such thing as objective truth.
Consequences:

And I thought the West had defeated this sort of sophistic bullshit way back in Ancient Greece.
Hemlock. And he took it. His friends offered to spring him and he refused.
If you never have: Read Apology of Socrates.
👆 This pede histories
We never allowed the sophistic, solipsistic bullshit mongers to take control of society until relatively recently.

You forgot to add "openly".
I mean, let's be real here; the same people have been running the government for longer than most of us here have been alive, and they inherited their position from the same folks of the previous generation.
sounds like the female voting bloc...now who and what got them voting rights again?
Now do "The Assemblywoman" by Aristophanes.

What idea of Kant's? Kant wasn't a relativist.

I don't feel this is fair to Kant.
Keep in mind, he was alive at a time when Enlightenment rationality was demolishing faith in God. Kant righteously opposed what was happening and understood that the world of fact and the world of value/symbol needed to be separated.

So you... Kant believe what he's saying?
No, the liquor store is for robbing. You want a fast getaway car for that one.
