Where everyone proudly wears his soldier's uniform at regular intervals, where almost every one has absorbed a uniform type of national culture through the public schools, enthusiastic hyperboles may well be uttered concerning the systems employed in former times, and a form of State omnipotence which was attained only in antiquity, and which almost every young man, by both instinct and training, thinks it is the crowning glory and highest aim of human beings to reach." WHERE EVERY ONE PROUDLY WEARS HIS SOLDIER'S UNIFORM AT REGULAR INTERVALS WHERE ALMOST EVERY ONE HAS ABSORBED A UNIFORM TYPE OF NATIONAL CULTURE THROUGH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ENTHUSIASTIC HYPERBOLES MAY WELL BE UTTERED CONCERNING THE SYSTEMS EMPLOYED IN FORMER TIMES AND A FORM OF STATE OMNIPOTENCE WHICH IS ATTAINED ONLY IN ANTIQUITY AND WHICH ALMOST EVERY YOUNG MAN BY BOTH INSTINCT AND TRAINING THINKS IS THE CROWNING GLORY AND HIGHEST AIM OF HUMAN BEINGS TO REACH
n should indeed surprise them; it should remind them of that allied, slowly understood tendency of a philosophy which was formerly promoted for reasons of State, namely, the tendency of the Hegelian philosophy: yea, it would perhaps be no exaggeration to say that, in the subordination of all strivings after education to reasons of State, Prussia has appropriated, with success, the principle and the useful heirloom of the Hegelian philosophy, whose apotheosis of the State in _this_ subordination certainly reaches its height." "But," said the philosopher's companion, "what purposes can the State have in view with such a strange aim? For that it has some State objects in view is seen in the manner in which the conditions of Prussian schools are admired by, meditated upon, and occasionally imitated by other States. These other States obviously presuppose something here that, if adopted, would tend towards the maintenance and power of the State, like our well-known and popular conscription. ATION NOW THIS LAST PHENOMENON SHOULD INDEED SURPRISE THEM IT SHOULD REMIND THEM OF THAT ALLIED SLOWLY UNDERSTOOD TENDENCY OF A PHILOSOPHY WHICH WAS FORMERLY PROMOTED FOR REASONS OF STATE NAMELY THE TENDENCY OF THE HEGALIAN PHILOSOPHY YEA IT WOULD PERHAPS BE NO EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT IN THE SUBORDINATION OF ALL STRIVINGS AFTER EDUCATION TO REASONS OF STATE PRUSSIA HAS APPROPRIATED WITH SUCCESS THE PRINCIPLE IN THE USEFUL HEIR LOOM OF THE HEGALIAN PHILOSOPHY WHOSE APOTHEOSIS OF THE STATE IN THIS SUBORDINATION CERTAINLY REACHES ITS HEIGHT BUT SAID THE PHILOSOPHER'S COMPANION WHAT PURPOSE CAN THE STATE HAVE IN VIEW WITH SUCH A STRANGE AIM FOR THAT IT HAS SOME STATE OBJECTS IN VIEW IS SEEN IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THE CONDITIONS OF PRUSSIAN SCHOOLS ARE ADMIRED BY MEDITATED UPON AND OCCASIONALLY IMITATED BY OTHER STATES THESE OTHER STATES OBVIOUSLY PRESUPPOSE SOMETHING HERE THAT IF ADOPTED WOULD TEND TOWARDS THE MAINTENANCE AND POWER OF THE STATE LIKE OUR WELL KNOWN AND POPULAR CONSCRIPTION
