Regarding Nietzsche and the Empiricists, Reddit refreshed my memory of readings from times past: "They are no philosophical race, these Englishmen: Bacon signifies an attack on the philosophical spirit; Hobbes, Hume, and Locke a debasement and lowering of the value of the concept of “philosophy” for more than a century. It was against Hume that Kant arose, and rose; it was Locke of whom Schelling said, understandably, “je méprise Locke” [I despise Locke]; in their fight against the English-mechanistic doltification of the world, Hegel and Schopenhauer were of one mind (with Goethe)—these two hostile brother geniuses in philosophy who strove apart toward opposite poles of the German spirit and in the process wronged each other as only brothers wrong each other." https://www.reddit.com/r/Nietzsche/comments/a7btg5/nietzsches_interesting_critique_of_british/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Nietzsche/comments/a7btg5/nietzsche...
