The Philosophy of the Wolf State

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  25 February 2009

Extract

Among all the sorrows and anxieties of the present crisis in human affairs, none has caused so much consternation to thoughtful people as the open and scornful repudiation, by two of the most civilized nations of Europe, of all the moral principles, all the decent conventions, which for two thousand years have enabled human societies to live together in some degree of contentment and security.

An apprehension of impending doom, of the break up of a great civilization, has become general.
