Polylogism: the characteristic men­tality of an age of chaos

Filed under: Cultura,Política,Religião,Teoria — André Azevedo Alves @ 19:12

Ludwig von MisesUma sempre actual reflexão de Ludwig von Mises: What the Nazis Borrowed from Marx.

Neither Marxian nor Nazi polylogism ever went further than to declare that the logical structure of mind is different with various classes or races. They never ventured to demonstrate precisely in what the logic of the proletarians differs from the logic of the bour­geois, or in what the logic of the Aryans differs from the logic of the Jews or the British. It is not enough to reject wholesale the Ri­cardian theory of comparative cost or the Einstein theory of rela­tivity by unmasking the alleged racial background of their authors. What is wanted is first to develop a system of Aryan logic different from non-Aryan logic. Then it would be necessary to examine point by point these two contested theories and to show where in their reasoning inferences are made which—although correct from the viewpoint of non-Aryan logic—are invalid from the viewpoint of Aryan logic. And, finally, it should be explained what kind of conclusions the replacement of the non-Aryan inferences by the correct Aryan inferences must lead to. But all this never has been and never can be ventured by anybody. The garrulous champion of racism and Aryan polylogism, Professor Tirala, does not say a word about the difference between Aryan and non-Aryan logic. Polylogism, whether Marxian or Aryan, or whatever, has never entered into details.

(…)

On the other hand, what the Nazis call Western economics and therefore artfremd is to a great extent an achievement of men to whom even the Nazis cannot deny the term German. Nazi econ­omists wasted much time in searching the genealogical tree of Carl Menger for Jewish ancestors; they did not succeed. It is nonsensical to explain the conflict between economic theory, on the one hand, and Institutionalism and historical empiricism, on the other hand, as a racial or national conflict.

Polylogism is not a philosophy or an epistemological theory. It is an attitude of narrow-minded fanatics, who cannot imagine that anybody could be more reasonable or more clever than they themselves. Nor is polylogism scientific. It is rather the replacement of reasoning and science by superstitions. It is the characteristic men­tality of an age of chaos.

  2. Amanha publico dois livros sobre o pseudonimo de o Idiota Chapado, que sao:

    “o que os capitalistas foram buscar a Hitler”.

    Um livro extremamente interessante e opurtuno que demonstra como o regime capitalista vota a camera de gas, de uma maneira mto mais limpa, suave, e sem dar nas vistas todos os que nao se submtem as suas leis. S

    o outro é: “Quem é mais idiota e preverso: Hitler, Estaline,ou Andre Azevedo Alves”.

  4. “[Hitler] partilha com os bolchevicks o ódio e o desprezo pela democracia liberal, bem como a convicção revolucionária de que a época da burguesia chega ao fim”
    François Furet ; “Le passé d’une illusion, Essai sur l’idée communiste au XXéme siècle” ; Paris 1995

    “[] Há mais laços que nos unem ao bolchevismo do que aspectos que nos separam. Há acima de tudo um verdadeiro sentimento revolucionário … Sempre distingui o essencial e sempre defendi que os antigos comunistas fossem imediatamente admitidos no partido. O pequeno burguês socialista e o chefe sindical nunca serão verdadeiramente nacional-socialistas, mas o militante comunista sim.”
    Adolf Hitler, 1934
