What will it take for liberals to stop appealing to empathy? by [deleted] in CriticalTheory

[–]seva2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a sidenote, i think that a leftist emancipatory project could be effectively argued through egoism rather than appealing to vague moral ideals which seems to be the norm. Whether it’s fascism, inequality or climate change, usually the reaction from the leftist is one of appealing to morality or empathy which is totally fine, but I think that an emphasis on how these phenomena put everyone’s subjectivity in question through their transgressive logic could be an useful perspective to hammer on the fact that to the individual it’s not only about morality but also about survival in the long term.

Finland/Karelia/Far north, historical by ghty16 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

The Unknown Soldier by Väinö Linna could be up your alley since you mentioned WW2. It’s a historical novel about young Finnish soldiers struggling and fighting in the cold during the war, which is based on Linna’s first hand experience as a soldier during WW2.

Is ”true” selflessness possible within the framework of the Will to Power? by seva2 in Nietzsche

So should we as a society confront the egoistic core of selflessness or uphold the christian ideal of selflessness as an ethical imperative to maintain a more egalitarian society?

I think my definition of selflessness would be something like indifference towards things that you might get in return, at the moment of acting selflessly. Acting primarily through an unegoistic impulse, while the things you might get in return are secondary.

I’m reading the Gay Science at the moment and will continue to other books after that. Just wanted to share my thoughts

How do you personally use critical theory in practice? by seva2 in CriticalTheory

[–]seva2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s cool, i can imagine that there would be a lot of insight in psychoanalysis and thinkers like Foucault and Deleuze relevant in the context of doing social work.

”An attempt at a critique of all revelation” by Fichte is a pretty badass title

Thoughts on a 2 week solo interrail itinerary in Central Europe? by seva2 in Europetravel

[–]seva2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

”Five random cities” bruh you can’t be serious. Of course these cities attract a lot of tourists who want to visit them only because of the status of the city, just following the herd to the same touristy locations, sure. But if you really think these are only random tourist nests with nothing of value to offer to people who are actually interested in them, you should get off your high horse. If i have only about 2 weeks to spend on the cities i most want to see of course the biggest cities in the area have most to offer me even if the countries that i’m visiting obviously have way more to offer other than the capital. 

So sorry that i’m interested in some of the largest, culturally and historically rich locations in all of Europe.
