“To have domed a public man because be knew Gorman and was supposed io be a philosopher will, I hope in time to come bo looked back upon as a temporary insanity of the popular mind.” writes Mr .1, A. Spender in the “Daily News.” referring to the late Lord Haldane. “Our statesmen bad far better be philosophers than demagogues, and to philosophise* wisely is a large part of their art. Everyone now realises that the English and French thinkers of the eighteenth century had an immense effect- on the politics of their time, and there could be no more faithful study for these times than to trace the German streams of thought which, descending from Hegel through Schopenhauer and Niet/che. provided the mental background of the nationalist and militarist policies not only of Germany hut of a large part of nineteenth-cen-tury Europe*.”
