>From December 1943 on, he served as an officer on the northern part of the Eastern Front, was decorated with an Iron cross, and attained the rank of lieutenant. When the German army started its retreat from the advancing Red Army, Feyerabend was hit by three bullets while directing traffic. One bullet hit him in the spine. As a consequence he needed to walk with a stick for the rest of his life and frequently experienced severe pain. He spent the rest of the war recovering from his wounds.

Wew.

I don't have much respect for the German military at the time, particularly on the eastern front. You got shot on the front? So what? Other looting, raping savages get shot all the time, we call them "gangbangers" and we don't give them an Iron Cross.

I'm not even against veterans or the military per se, but all militaries are not equal, and neither are all fronts. I somewhat respect the German soldiers in North Africa, for example. Some of them were even outright heroes.

I just find it interesting that some thinkers were active combat soldiers, rather than pampered academics all their lives . See John Rawls

>During World War II, Rawls served as an infantryman in the Pacific, where he toured New Guinea and was awarded a Bronze Star and the Philippines, where he endured intensive trench warfare and witnessed horrific scenes such as seeing a soldier remove his helmet and take a bullet to the head, rather than continue with the war.

Also, Socrates fought in wars. Anyone who risks getting killed in an organised fight to the death, German or otherwise, gets a little bit of respect from me.

They get points for actually having gone out at some point in their life. Which makes it all the more more surprising, in Rawls' case, that his philosophy was so detached from reality.

What are you talking about? The Eastern Front was one of the most grueling and largest scale fronts in human history.

Anonymous 09/12/17 (Tue) 22:08:06 No.67641

Yes, and the soldiers on it were either savages who deserved these conditions, or conformist frat boys. Feyerabend was the latter, in his defense. That still isn't anything to be proud of. He even held lectures on nazi philosophy and played with the thought of joining the SS because he liked the uniforms. And to top it all off, he wasn't even a German citizen, but an Austrian one, thus making him a dirty collaborator.
