Die Philosophie Der Erlosung
Philipp MainlanderSözler ve Alıntılar
The world is not a place of peace, nor a place of torment, but only nothingness.
I must repeat it one more time: the goal of the whole world history, i.e. all battles, religious systems, inventions, discoveries, revolutions, sects, parties etc. is: bringing to the mass, what some have possessed since the beginning of culture. The goal is not to rear a race of angels, which will then exist forever, but salvation from existence. The realization of the boldest ideals of the socialists can merely bring for everyone a state of comfort, in which some have lived since the beginning.
And what did these people do, when they achieved this state? They turned themselves away from life. Something else is also not possible.
The old Greeks and Romans knew no higher virtue than justice. Therefore their efforts had only value in relation to the state. They clang upon life in this world. When they thought about the immortality of their souls and the kingdom of shadows, their eyes became cloudy. What was the best life in the underworld compared to striving under the light of the sun?
The Christ however taught love of neighbor and enemy and demanded the unconditional turning away from life: hate against the own life. He demanded the nullification of the inner being of humans, which is insatiable will to live, left nothing in human free; he tied the natural egoism entirely, or, with other words: he demanded slow suicide.
I have proven, that not consciousness, but motion alone, is essential to the individual will, the single principle in the world. This is its sole true predicate. The first blind unconscious motion, which the individual had, happened with the decomposition of an unfathomable, pre-worldly basic unity. In its motion urge to goal and goal lied connected inseparably. There can be no talk of a representation of the goal in the first individuals. Its first impulse was everything. This impulse lives forth today (albeit modified by everything, which has flown into individual since the beginning of the world until this
moment) in the unconscious demon of every human. ...
As we have seen, gods originated only because, some activities in the undeniable violence of nature were personified. The unity, God, emerged through the fusion of gods.
The last philosopher will certainly reach the truth and take it completely in his hand, but only because he stand on so many stacked giants as the last one.
Christ gave the individual his immortal right, and based it on the belief in the movement of the world from life into death (end of the world), founded the atheistic Religion of Salvation. That pure Christianity is, at bottom, genuine atheism (i.e. denial of a with the world co-existing personal God, but affirmation of a pre-worldly perished deity whose breath permeates the world) and is monotheism on the surface only, this I will prove in the text.
Exoteric Christianity became world religion, and after its triumph, the above-mentioned intellectual development has not taken place in any nation again.
