Baeumler

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani refers to Alfred Baeumler as a philosopher of the Third Reich, whom he places among the regime's "henchmen" or "minor philosophers"12. He presents him as a civil servant appointed by Hitler in the university to purge it of Hegelianism34. What he mainly retains is the content of his attacks. Baeumler targets idealism, the Hegelian State, Weimar classicism and Descartes5. He also takes aim at Christianity, Platonism and Cartesianism3. He criticizes Goethe and Hegel for their humanism6 and defends the Romantics against French reason7. He denies universal history and the Christianization of all races, and he attacks rationalism, technology and "Judeo-Bolshevism"8. For Dominique Pagani, he thus embodies a position that is both anti-Cartesian and anti-Hegelian9. He also mentions him as one of the Nazi theorists studied by Lukács10.
