He was a well-read intelligent person, and yet he continuously repeats Nasim Hijazi level BS about rulers who only had the quran and the sword and lived like beggars.. Was he consciously doing propaganda? or do u think he seriously believed it?
Going to repeat myself but his major work is basically circumcision of western philosophy and thought to make it Islamic
-
-
Exactly. The particular stream of Western thought he was circumcizing (Spengler, Bergson, Whitehead) is itself dated by now.. but at that time, he was cutting edge (pun intended)
-
Don’t forget Nietzsche.
-
Nietzsche gets linked with Iqbal a lot.. and a little bit is in there, but I think this is mostly an insult to Nietzsche, whose philosophy has none of the "unfolding of spirit in history" type BS so typical of Iqbal (nor the activist omnipresent jealous God Iqbal was so fond of)
-
Yeah. Iqbal just plagiarised the ubermunchen bit and replaced it momin. Nietzsche had no room for the woohoo of deepak chopras of old and new
-
Nietzsche also had no time for nasim hijazi level history.. (he was rather skeptical of history in general.. He did think that a history is as good as the historian writing it, and a great man has license to write it as he pleases.. mayb Iqbal thot of himself as such a great man)
-
Yeah. He had no nonsense approach towards stuff we so cherish here.
