Are people this dumb? That they do not realise philosophy in itself (which is the revelation of truth) depends in itself upon metaphysics. Heidegger himself engaged in metaphysics. All forms of expression of truth to another being(and that includes your own) must be self contemplating. Metaphysics is the study of the philosophy(truth) of abstraction(which infers reaction against empirical experience); literal abstraction as taken often as beyond material(in relation to said abstraction), or consequential abstraction - being of course the centre of metaphysics. The very relation of ourselves to being and concept (by necessity in abstraction and so self contemplation) is a metaphysics; from Heidegger's view, metaphysics.

The only way one can be without metaphysics is by its completion (which implies historic process), and so actualisation. In someone like Gentile this is obvious.

A valid critique which arises from this is an unequal placement of value on metaphysics over philosophy as a whole (and be sure no further because of the actual principle of history). Perhaps an unfounded worry.

Stop being such a faggot beta, just be confident in yourself. This masculinity does not mean the lack of self insecurity or critique, but instead the knowing placement of that insecurity as above men; whether as moral, historic or psychological.

Napoleon, Alexander, Wagner, Beethoven, Bach, Goethe, Hegel, Socrates, Kant, William, Barbarossa, Frederick. Hitler stated "Do not compare yourself to others. If you do, you are insulting yourself.". This quote gives insight into the mind of Hitler, of what (by ease or not) the personally psychological challenges he had to overcome. Be like Hitler, don't compare yourself with others.
