PHIL 315 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Peace And Conflict Studies, The Foundations, Bourgeoisie
Document Summary
The foundations of modern science: today, science and scientists in european schools and universities are in a state of systematic and premeditated falsification. One might think that these schools were established concretely to poison intellectually and morally the bourgeois youth. Because the schools and universities have become markets of privilege where falsehood is sold wholesale and retail. We will not refer to theology, the science of divine falsehood; to jurisprudence, the science of human falsehood; to metaphysics, or to idealistic philosophy, which are sciences of all kinds of half-truths. We will refer here to sciences such as history, philosophy, politics, and economics, which are falsified because they lack their true basis, natural science, and which are based in equal measure on theology, metaphysics, and jurisprudence. The professors -these modern priests of political and social charlatanry with degrees- , poison so effectively the university youth that a miracle would be necessary to cure them.
