A Fraudulent History to Renounce
In the 19th century, English
empiricism would come along and seek to devise forms of thought that would build strictly experimental/quasi-experimental
science guided by positivist proofs ascertained via inductive logic and study. Unlike Kant, Hume came along and doubted
the very fact of the existence of the world. Hegel would follow Kant, and develop a grand philosophy that took the form of
a universal method of cognition. He summarized his essential ideas in three works, Philosophy of History, Philosophy
of Right, and Science of Logic. Categories drawn from ancient African Kmt cosmologists via
Greek philosophers were raised to new heights as Hegel scaffold an idealist, but grand system of dialectics based on the principle
of racist historicism. Marx would inherit that system at the time of its decomposition. Ascending from abstract
to concrete, Marx would study it carefully, extract what he saw as its rational kernel and discard what he saw as moribund
and obsolete. In sum, genetically, philosophies, theories, and methods go far back into our past, when our distant ancestors
were acquiring cultural, and production skills appropriate for garnering the necessitates of life in ever more efficient and
effective forms. As philosophy emerged as a generalizing system for the summation of human experience, method
and theory became essential pillars of embryonic scientific/metaphysical investigation. The problem of accumulating,
storing, organizing and transmitting human experience necessitated an ever-increasing formalization of key principles, techniques,
rules of thumb, and even formulas. Just as conditions change, the ideas that reflect those conditions change.
The ideas of capitalism and socialism are coming to an end, they are dead but not buried, rotting corpses in need of burial.
This is obviously not a new phenomenon in nature: The 15 billion year old universe is in constant motion, changing
and developing. The development of the universe is a continuous process of the dying off of the old and the emergence
of the new. Nothing lasts forever; all things perish. Everything (whether positive or negative) develop, this
development is a process of dying off of the old and the emergence of the new. Before natural death of any formation,
there is a period of regression, retrogression, decay, decomposition, etc. Earth crust illustrates the formation of ever new
and variant geological structures. Vegetable and animal kingdoms in their old organic forms gave way to new and better ones.
Just as cells are constantly regenerated in living organisms (old ones die and new ones arise), so in another life obsolete
forms of social structure, systems, and ideological systems die and new progressive or regressive ones are born. Again,
before they die a natural death, there is an intense period of regression.
In the resulting ideological
rubble loom such global organizing paradigms as post-feminism, globalism, whites/Arab fundamentalism, "democratic fantasy/500
years of Black slavery" and neo-structural functionalism, which attempt to collect and give meaning to fragmented ideological
forms resulting from the implosion of former capitalist and socialist ideological systems of thought. The extraction
of the essential elements of this moment, critical assessment of philosophical, theoretical, and methodological systems is
necessary to advanced philosophy, theory and methods in this area. However, no philosophy, theory, or method is ever
intellectually disposed of by the mere assertion that it is false or by simply ignoring that they exist. It has
to be "sublated" in its own sense, that is in the sense that while its form had to be annihilated through criticism
the new content which had been won through it had to be saved.
