What is Analytic Philosophy? Quotes

“Nietzsche, never knowingly outdone in philosophical rudeness, looks down on the ‘indefatigable, inevitable English utilitarians’, ‘with derision, though not without pity’, because they lack ‘creative powers and artistic conscience’. Like Marx, he deplores what he regards as self-deceived universal pretences of a parochial outlook. The utilitarians promote ‘English morality’, not realizing that the alleged ‘happiness of the greatest number’ is in reality ‘the happiness of England’ (1886: §§225, 228). ‘One has to be English to be capable of believing that human beings always seek their own advantage’ (1906: §930). Well, it certainly helps! On the other hand, it may help to be German if one is to hold, with Nietzsche, that the ‘blond Arian beasts’ should promote neither the happiness of the greatest number, nor even their own happiness, but strive heroically and selflessly to wreak as much death and destruction as possible.”
