Any theory intended to describe and analyze socio-historical reality cannot restrict itself to the human spirit and disregard the totality of human nature.

The existence of inherent limits of experience in no way settles the question about the subordination of facts of the human world to our knowledge of matter.

On the other hand, for the whole human being who wills, feels, and represents, external reality is given simultaneously and with as much certitude as his own self.

In the real life-process, willing, feeling, and thinking are only different aspects.

From the perspective of mere representation, the external world always remains only a phenomenon.

The individual always realizes only one of the possibilities in his development, which could always have taken a different turning whenever he had to make an important decision.

The knife of historical relativism... which has cut to pieces all metaphysics and religion must also bring about healing.
