Key Notes
Everything people know and do depends on language, and that language is created by poets.
Zoroastrianism, in Jiang's interpretation, is not satisfied with compassion or indifference; justice requires action, speech, and creative resistance.
Combining Schopenhauer, Wagner, and Nietzsche yields a rejection of Christianity and return to paganism, where humans must define meaning and good/evil through action.
For humans in history, mythology and ideas are real because people can act them out and reorganize political possibility around them.
In the Christian worldview, truth is God's design and evil is sin against God's intention; in the pagan worldview, the counterpart is chaotic luck and the imperative to act boldly.
Jiang defines worldview as the structure that lets humans exist by explaining who we are, what we want, and what we should do.
Octavian's decisive difference is not charisma or generalship but action: he acts from belief that he is Caesar's son and has a responsibility to restore the Republic.
