Darwin, Marx, and Freud meet. They may have understood other things, but the human soul, and in particular the soul of Culture-man, they did not understand. Systems like theirs are only historical curiosities to the 20th century, unless they happen to claim to be appropriate descriptions of Reality. Anyone who believes in these antiquated fantasies stamps himself as ludicrous, posthumous, ineffective, and superfluous. No leading men of the coming decades will be Darwinians, Marxians or Freudians.

The independence of the economic sphere was a tenet of faith with Liberalism

Man as a pure animal does not exist

A political theory seeks to find from history the limits of the politically possible

The early American arrived at a land of which he knew nothing

Pessimism only describes an attitude, and not facts, and hence is entirely subjective.

As a world view, Darwinism cannot of course be refuted, since Faith is, always has been, and always will be, stronger than facts
