Why is German culture of the 18th and 19th century the most based of all?

They produced the best music in human history in that era. German idealism is the best thing to have every happened to philosophy. Goethe makes every novelist today look like an ordinary blogger.
France looks like a pansy compared to that gloriousness. Anglosaxons are sperg tier.

Because of Johann Joachim Winckelmann and his revival of Greek influence.

In a way, but not in the context of this thread considering how much he loved Goethe, Holderlin, Beethoven, and Wagner, all Germans.

>German idealism is the best thing to have every happened to philosophy
The best thing that happened to philosophy is Greece. German idealism is just a case of domain hijacking. Take Fichte: "so you could say what i am doing is Schurmunzukruffkuzangigrafizschaften but I'll say I am doing philosophy because it is shorter. Or: 'Bratwurst'. It's shorter as well". Or take Schopenhauer: "Lol, guys, there is a French translation of the... uh... oompanishads on the flea market. You speak no French? Bummer. Let me summarize them in a book that's twice as long but signed by yours most humble."
>Goethe makes every novelist today look like an ordinary blogger.
Indeed. Because he is so caked with dust, so out of date even the old lady's "modern novelists" look like young and fashionable bloggers.
>They produced the best music in human history in that era.
There was Mozart, who was Austrian. And there the old Ludwig Van. He was Dutch. The Germans had Wagner. And Marschner. And Otto Nicolai. Is that good music? Is it? Nein.

one (german) narrative is that england was the land of radical economics, france the land of radical politics, and germany the land of radical poetry and philosophy

not the most convincing narrative, but it's one way to think about it.

and of course german idealism was the best thing to happen to philosophy (it was literally its beginning and its end), that goes without saying

Sounds like that quote comes from the 3 strands of thought that Marx synthesised into his project. English political economy, French utopian socialism and German idealism.

>> No.6460242

18th century is probably explained by the policies of Frederick the Cuck, who tried to make Prussia some type of intellectual paradise and attracted scholars all over Europe.

19th century I honestly have no idea, possibly a legacy of the previous generation, but I think the censorship laws marked the beginning of its end, particularly with the repressing of every Hegelian in sight by the authorities
