History Is The Interpretation Of The Significance

The New Knowledge Has Not Yet Settled In Culture. It Has Not Yet Been Integrated In A New Cosmic Conception.

Life Is Made Too Easy. Mankind's Moral Fibre Is Giving Way Under The Softening Influence Of Luxury.

Under Weak Government, In A Wide, Thinly Populated Country, In The Struggle Against The Raw Natural Environment And With The Freeplay Of Economic Forces, Unified Social Groups Become The Transmitters Of Culture.

The Things Which Can Make Life Enjoyable Remain The Same. They Are, Now As Before, Reading, Music, Fine Arts, Travel, The Enjoyment Of Nature, Sports, Fashion, Social Vanity (knightly Orders, Honorary Offices, Gatherings) And The Intoxication Of The Senses.

Culture Arises And Unfolds In And As Play... Culture Itself Bears The Character Of Play.
