"W": He sued New York University and rec'd a settlement from them. I read two of his books this past year:
Springtime for Snowflakes: Social Justice and Its Postmodern Parentage (2018), and Beyond Woke (2020).
He cites Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, for his refutation of egalitarianism.
Rectenwald had a novel published the end of 2020, Thought Criminal. I haven't read it yet. Here is a description:

N.S.: The problerms with Nietzsche are at least two-fold: 1. He was a value (and, I believe, epistemological) relativist. A relativist can't give you a good reason for supporting any given principle, virtue, or value; of related significance: 2. Nietzsche wasn't a philosopher. Philosophers trade in arguments. Nietzsche, instead, traded in mockery and ridicule of positions with which he disagreed.
To be totally cynical about the subject,when you have elitists pushing egalitarianism,you have to take their sincerity with a grain of salt.
ReplyDeleteTHEIR goal of equality excludes themselves--and only includes their lessers--US--the ones who don't live in gated communities(lol).
True egalitarianism can only be a government led communist state--which kills the spirit of humans to attempt to improve their lives.But even in that situation,there are elitists running the show--and benefitting--someone has to be the leader,no matter which philosophy is chosen to keep the masses in check.
That will never change--the methods do on occasion,depending on the gullibility of the people.
The Anti-PC professor is an elitist,at least he's attempting to be by writing books and changing minds,something "regular" people do not do publicly.

I think Nietzche too was admired by the Nazi? Philosophy is hard too. You need to first study philosophy to be able to understand how to study philosophy?
