Malcolm X on Schopenhauer, kant & Nietzche

~KES said Jun 19, 2:41 PM:

 

I thought you might find this interesting, I did and funny too. He came to this conclusion after reading their theories while in Malcolm X was in jail.


“Schopenhauer, Kant, Nietzsche, naturally, I read all of those. I don't respect them; I am just trying

the groundwork on which the Fascist and Nazi philosophy was built. I don't respect them because

it seems to me that most of their time was spent arguing about things that are not really

important.”

—Malcolm
