What Makes Us Afraid Is Our Great

Only Then, Approaching My Fortieth Birthday, I Made Philosophy My Life's Work.

At The Present Moment, The Security Of Coherent Philosophy, Which Existed From Parmenides To Hegel, Is Lost.

The Soul Of A Landscape, The Spirits Of The Elements, The Genius Of Every Place Will Be Revealed To A Loving View Of Nature.

The More Determinedly I Exist, As Myself, Within The Conditions Of The Time, The More Clearly I Shall Hear The Language Of The Past, The Nearer I Shall Feel The Glow Of Its Life.

Philosophy As Practice Does Not Mean Its Restriction To Utility Or Applicability, That Is, To What Serves Morality Or Produces Serenity Of Soul.
