Philosophy, Literature, Narcissism and Nonsense

This is a fascinating little book that I own: A philosophical dictionary which was released in Germany in 1943. Since it was of course designed to be in line with party ideology, all concepts that are in conflict with National Socialism are simply noted to be ‘jewish’. For example, the entry about Marx begins with the claim that his real name is ‘Mordechai’ , which was the birth name of his father and is meant to jew-shame him. He is then described as the “Father of modern (jewish) Historical Materialism”, and as having “adopted the schematism of Hegelian Philosophy, despite remaining a stranger to its metaphysical inwardness”. The last sentence states that Marxism has been completely refuted by National Socialism, but of course there is no further elaboration regarding how National Socialism did that.
