Yeah.... he wasn't a Nietzschean, but a German nationalist.... very fond of revolutionary doctrine, and Arminius...
He seems to be just slightly earlier but of the same strain as the psuedo-historians I unfortunately keep dealing with (even one who calls himself Arminius)....
I miss the days when all I had to deal with was angry Freudians and French Marxists, they've all but died out in philosophical discussions in North America in the last few years. When I started they were still in vogue, then just died off, now it's tilting again back to Cryto-Nazis hitting site after site. Very odd patterns....
I'll hold off on Mommsen then.... I'm very surprised the exact answer I was looking for was on this site already.
