The East Knew And To The Present

Truth In Philosophy Means That Concept And External Reality Correspond.

Governments Have Never Learned Anything From History, Or Acted On Principles Deducted From It.

Everybody Allows That To Know Any Other Science You Must Have First Studied It, And That You Can Only Claim To Express A Judgment Upon It In Virtue Of Such Knowledge. Everybody Allows That To Make A Shoe You Must Have Learned And Practised The Craft Of The Shoemaker, Though Every Man Has A Model In His Own Foot, And Possesses In His Hands The Natural Endowments For The Operations Required. For Philosophy Alone, It Seems To Be Imagined, Such Study, Care, And Application Are Not In The Least Requisite

To Him Who Looks At The World Rationally The World Looks Rationally Back.

The East Knew And To The Present Day Knows Only That One Is Free; The Greek And The Roman World, That Some Are Free; The German World Knows That All Are Free. The First Political Form Therefore Which We Observe In History, Is Despotism, The Second Democracy And Aristocracy, The Third, Monarchy.
