Duty ,Order and Purpose
One of the most interesting topics we get when talking about the Großdeutsches Reich is the Philosophical foundations behind
the NSDAP .But many people are still stuck in a enlightenment mentality and limited scope of perception, where everything is defined and rationalized under modern “individualism” of liberal/libertarian/anarchist conception
Lets start with briefly explication of the Social contract:
is a theory or model, originating during the Age of Enlightenment, that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual. Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights. The question of the relation between natural and legal rights, therefore, is often an aspect of social contract theory
Locke ,Hobbes or Rosseau their theorists seek to demonstrate, in different ways, why a rational individual would voluntarily consent to give up their natural freedom to obtain the benefits of social order.
This is a couple of paragraphs from Dr. Otto that i found relevant to the topic Dietrich national press-director of the NSDAP Die philosophischen Grundlagen des Nationalsozialismus: ein Ruf zu den Waffen deutschen Geistes by Dr. Otto Dietrich, Reichspressechef of the NSDAP, 1934.
Sociology was the beginning of an attempt to understand man in his collective nature, but it was in some ways on the wrong track,
because "society" is still an essentially individualistic term. "Community" by contrast denotes an organic unity.
We in Germany know what National-Socialism is – because we live it! With justification it has been said that National-Socialism's work is not an abstract ideological construction, but a volume of experience that has grown out of the solidarity of blood and out of the community of the people,and corresponds to our own innermost essence. We Germans, and above all those who did not themselves come directly from the domain of our National-Socialist thought, comprehend National-Socialism by experiencing it day by day in all its manifestations and effects within the National-Socialist community of the people. And even the Germans beyond our
borders can feel National-Socialism due to their inner blood-bond with us. But if we place value on making National-Socialism
comprehensible to other nations that live in another world of emotions and ideas, and awakening understanding for it, then
we must share our ideas in a form that they understand. We must express National-Socialism's ideas and spiritual laws of
life in a language that allows the union of the new with the old, of the inner world with the outer.This field of scholarly activity is important; it is urgent. That is because the absence of such a clearly thought-out, distinct form, I might say the lack hitherto of such an internationally understandable intellectual language of National-Socialism
, not only contains the source of many errors and misunderstandings, but robs us of the possibility to oppose malevolent broadsides and slanders with the weapons of the mind.
With the previous statement in mind I was able identify 3 principles in the the Weltanschhauung Purpose , Duty and Order.
Purpose:To preservate the existence of our Volk The idea that we continue to live through them and racial awakening,
Spengler regards the rise and fall of cultures as an occurrence similar to the life and death of a plant, but forgets in the adducement of this richly superficial comparison that races of plants as such do not die out if they are not destroyed, crippled, mixed with inimical types. The "race" of the fir tree persists although the single fir dies. The "race" of the linden tree is still the same as many thousands of years ago. And the races of men as such could remain just as eternally young, if hostile blood is not mixed with them, if unassimilable spiritual opposites do not clash and mix with them, without being able to be blended. Alfred Rosenberg's Criticism of Oswald Spengler"
Duty:To Express the creative and productive spirit to fulfil our purpose
Everything now done in Germany is prompted by the conviction that our nation will only be able to assure its future existence if we succeed in maintaining the National
Socialist regime. National Socialism is not a temporary political expedient, but rather a political creed based upon the recognition of our people's vital necessities. If it is to remain a living force, it must be continually renewed and must be continually applied to the facts of real life
