As The Ancient Commander Addressed His Soldiers

The French Revolution, Fichte's Theory Of Knowledge, And Goethe's Wilhelm Meister Are The Three Greatest Tendencies Of The Age. Whoever Takes Offence At This Combination, And Whoever Does Not Consider A Revolution Important Unless It Is Blatant And Palpable, Has Not Yet Risen To The Lofty And Broad Vantage Point Of The History Of Mankind.

Without Poetry, Religion Becomes Obscure, False, And Malignant; Without Philosophy, Licentious In All Wantonness, And Lascivious To The Point Of Self-castration.

Philosophy Still Moves Too Much Straight Ahead, And Is Not Yet Cyclical Enough.

As The Ancient Commander Addressed His Soldiers Before Battle, So Should The Moralist Speak To Men In The Struggle Of The Era.

Man Is A Creative Retrospection Of Nature Upon Itself.
