Hitler: Philosopher King
Hitler and
the NSDAP are a social and historical phenomenon, and this forthcoming book proposes that
Aspergic personality and postmodern philosophy combined to enable both his
personal political success and then the nature of the regime that he
constructed.
Hitler
himself was clearly not a normal human being; genius and exceptional in some
areas, he could single-mindedly pursue personal and
political power. Nietzsche’s crystallization of the previous century and a half
of German idealism in a rigorous moral and cultural nihilism, was reified and
rolled out with Weberian bureaucratic
and Prussian militaristic efficiency. The
post modern state created did not rest on history, religious or cultural
traditions. Ideology was shaped
instrumentally in order to yield the maximal amount of the only currency that
survives the caustic deconstructionism of postmodernism, namely power itself.
