Troy sweet tooth to get satisfaction
similar attitude of the Buddhist-Dhyan school Dr. Ghyka declared I "Although philosophers in the ' course of history have as a rule encouraged the peaceful conquests of the mind rather than the ma- i terial acquisition resulting from successful wars, we might yet find among the many philosophical systems or attitudes to life some in which war and strife are acknowledged, not perhaps as desirable, but as inevitable factors of individual and collective development.” “On the other side we have symmetrical systems in which peace and even harmony, as given facts or ideals, play the predominant role.”
“Dealing summarily with the first class, we must begin by quoting the famous ‘Strife is the Father of all Things’ of Heraclitus of Ephesus, who .thus shows himself to be the father of all pessimists and leads us directly, with a jump of 2500 years, to the 19th is so called biological systems condensed in the formulas ‘Struggle for Life’ and Survival of the Fittest’ which evolved out of the theory of evolution.” “We must not forget” said Dr. Ghyka, “the influence exercised by Nietzsche's forceful propaganda for a religion or creed for masters as opposed to the religion for slaves which- Christianity was to him.”
“Of course Nietzsche is not responsible for the way some of his self-appointed followers have applied his theories. Nevertheless, his slogans based on an exaltation of intellectual pride and self reliance and a marked contempt of humility, and on the urge to ‘live dangerously’ in the world of ideas, had a disastrous effect on many minds in the generations which fought in the first World war or came of age between the two wars,” said Dr. Ghyka.
Dr. Ghyka said that Mussolini is the typical case in point of a by no means inferior mind intoxicated by the above mentioned formulas. He “lived dangerously” and Italy with him, and lived long enough to regret it.
“The logical mistake enclosed in most of these pseudo-Nietzsch-ean and Darwinian formulas is that the fittest, the ones which shall survive, are generally confused with the physically strongest. This of course forgets that sometimes the fittest is the morally strongest,” said Dr. Ghyka.
Dr. Ghyka came to SC tliis term after having a varied career as a mathematician, diplomat, and naval attache. His career as a Ruman-in diplomat included tours of duty as counselor to the Rumanian legation in Rome. Madrid, Warsaw, and Paris. Later he became Rumanian minister to Stockholm, and until 1940 he served as assistant minister in London.
