The sciences which take socio-historical reality as their subject matter are seeking, more intensively than ever before, their systematic relations to one another and to their foundation.

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.

A knowledge of the forces that rule society, of the causes that have produced its upheavals, and of society's resources for promoting healthy progress has become of vital concern to our civilization.

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

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

If there were a science of human beings it would be anthropology that aims at understanding the totality of experience through structural context.

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