Blaming modernity for the Holocaust
http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/hart-fails-to-connect-the-dots/
It simply cannot be denied that the horrors of the last century were both conceptually and historically inseparable from some of the deepest principles of modernity’s founding ideologies. The ‘final solution’ was a kind of consummation of all the evils of European history, perhaps, but it was possible as a conscious project only in an age in which humanity itself had first been reduced to a technology (the technology of race).
This type of confused slander against ‘modernity’ is ridiculous, and dangerous. Let me note that modernity freed the Jews form the ghetto and gave them the greatest opportunity they ever had. It was a gang of reactionary anti-modernists who fomented the Holocaust, which springs from the Christian tradition of anti-semitism, and the concealed version in renegade Buddhism. We can see the perps forming in the time of Blavatsky and then Gurdjieff.
Like many murders the patsy, here ‘modernity’, gets blamed with the guilty ones are invisible.
Let me note that nihilism is already a postmodern antimodern philosophy in Nietzsche.
