Another philosopher, another professor. Great!!!!! Mind boggling. ❤️lol The more the merrier. Suggestion: Choose a red head. It adds more spice. Firey 🔥
It may be grating to hear the absurd overreach of Maistre and Hamann, but if understood as hyperbole, it does give us insight into the mysterious workings of the suprarational. Tabling periodic bigotries of which these thinkers were captive, discerning the surge of improper vitality is key in making a people whole. Once understood, it can be harness and utilized for the common good. To extinguish the darker and inexplicable expressions of humanity is to disown it's very establishment . We do society no kindness by imagining ourselves into a fictitious painting of goodwill and self-restraint absent the turbulence of actual lived experience. When governments, academies, and militias vaunt themselves against the protest of historical evidence, you know a nation is ripe for take over.
However, I do want to illustrate a much rosier picture of things not belonging to reason. Who among us sneer at dance, music, intuition, dreams, improbable hopes, faith, ritual, charm, sexuality, joy, luck, play, and spontaneity? The suprarational is always depicted as hateful, violent, stupid, and in need of rescue. While not disputing the underbelly of irrationality, I simply wish to supply the reader with it's more noble attributes. Chief among them is iron clad authority; the unquestioned. It is odious to people only in theory, however the pinnacle of truth has no more appeals. Ask a mathematician why addition is true. He will simply explain it's function again. He does not know why other than a feeling of self-evident verity. It feels right. Say that about any other thing and you will be outed as a dummy. Yet what do we make of the axiomatic? At the end of any line of inquiry we must confess, "It feels true." Feeling is a cap to the bottle of all this cognition. The highest truth must then be shrouded in darkness having no other thing to shine a light upon it being a light to all other things.
um chud logic?

I know where the mistake is, in this masterpiece of persuasion.
Playback speed .75 makes it comprehensible. Same with Michael Segrue. Most of the others you have to turn UP to 1.25.
When this is translated into 'English' I will be more than happy to listen to it!
had to turn this down to 1.5x speed but its understandable enough. thanks for the upload!

1 Kings 8:12
Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Psalms 18:11
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
What a great Bank Holiday treat! Isaiah Berlin giving his insights into Harmann and de Maistre. Thank you!
