نيتشه وأهل هذه الدار
في التالي.. نيتشه يتكلّم عن تدمير الثقافة العالية في الأندلس على يد من تعرفون.
“Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (‐‐I do not say by what sort of feet‐‐)Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin‐‐because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life! .”
وفي التالي.. نيتشه يتكلّم عن الغاية من الحروب الصليبية.
“The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust ‐‐a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very "senile." ‐‐What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich. . . . Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more!”
