Hitler's Weltanschauung Worldview Essay

In accordance to gain and profit for one’s nation the scales of good and evil may easily unbalance with the emergence of a worldview filled with malicious ideologies, masked by benevolence and concern. The Weltanschauung worldview, surmised by Frackenheim as, “the granite- like foundation of… [Hitler’s future] actions” arose from Adolf Hitler’s mind as the worldview which will save and bring prosperity to the Aryan race’s German nation (Frackenheim, 49). This Weltanschauung encompasses Hitler’s overall desire for the reemergence of a master Aryan race through the expansion of territory, decimation of the Aryan counterpart race, the Jews, and the necessity of an unwavering loyalty and desire from his fellow men to put their nation over themselves.
To understand the emergence of this world view, a person must first look to the experiences and knowledge an individual has gained throughout their life. In the case of Hitler’s Weltanschauung, stereotyping of the Jews throughout his society, theories of this master Aryan race, and constant failures in endeavors to expand the German nation, World War I, lead to a falsification and melding of facts into this worldview that transcends truth, human history, or logic (Bergen, 36-8).

A fox is a fox just as a tiger is as tiger and in Nature’s mind, according to Hitler, they are to remain in that distinction. For an individual to veer from their natural embodiment by say, showing pacifistic or in Hitler’s words “humanitarian” characteristics to their prey is unnatural and brings upon a “mating [which] is contrary to the will of Nature for a higher breeding of all life” (Hitler, 190). Eventually, this unnatural mating leads to the decline of the “foundation culture,” in this case the Aryan race, and the disruption of Nature’s hundreds of thousands of years of hard work. Hitler labels the ones responsible for this destruction of the “foundation culture” as the “destroyers of culture,” and places the title upon the
