Abstract

History manifests human nature. What this is turns out to be, however, unknown. To suppose that it is a divine creature is contradicted by the demonic in politics and war; that it is a rational animal shows that the rational does not preponderate in it and that the animal side is an offense to animals; that it is a “zoon politikon” is contradicted by acts of war; that he is an entity subjugated by “Angst”, by the panic of dying, forgets that other affections populate his impulses.
