Panic, Leadership & Germany
Germanophile
"Hegel was among the first to interpret the geographic triad of Germany-France-England as expressing three different existential attitudes: German reflective thoroughness, French revolutionary hastiness, English moderate utilitarian pragmatism. In terms of political stance, this triad can be read as German conservatism, French revolutionary radicalism and English moderate liberalism; in terms of the predominance of one of the spheres of social life, it is German metaphysics and poetry versus French politics and English economy."
"A Germanophile is a person who is fond of German culture, and Germany in general in spite of not being an ethnic German. The term was especially in use in the 19th and 20th century after the creation of the German nation state and the rise of the German Empire."
"That’s when Germany created the second scientifically minded revolution, which has inspired the whole world and which people don’t know was started by Germans. All this led to modernism, science and the death of God – which started in Germany. People say all the time, China, India and Russia, etc. are rising, and Europe is going down. Not Germany. Where would the Greeks and Irish be without Germany to bail them out? If you look at Britain, you can’t change the shape of an island. The British know who they are. But what do you mean by ‘Germans’? The edges of Germany have always been very fluid. It has been encircled by France, UK and Russia. But I was trying to get away from politics; it is much more interesting as a cultural entity."
