The philosopher seemed to be speaking very heatedly. We begged him to walk round with us again, since he had uttered the latter part of his discourse standing near the tree stump which had served us as a target. For a few minutes not a word more was spoken.

t when I speak of lacking educational establishments, and why I think those which at present claim the name in such a pitiful condition. Whoever is pleased to call this an 'ideal desire,' and refers to it as 'ideal' as if he were trying to get rid of it by praising me, deserves the answer that the present system is a scandal and a disgrace, and that the man who asks for warmth in the midst of ice and snow must indeed get angry if he hears this referred to as an 'ideal desire.' The matter we are now discussing is concerned with clear, urgent, and palpably evident realities: a man who knows anything of the question feels that there is a need which must be seen to, just like cold and hunger. But the man who is not affected at all by this matter most certainly has a standard by which to measure the extent of his own culture, and thus to know what I call 'culture,' and where the line should be drawn between that which is ruled from below upwards and that which is ruled from above downwards. HAT IS WHAT I AM SPEAKING ABOUT WHEN I SPEAK OF LACKING EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS AND WHY THINK THOSE WHICH AT PRESENT CLAIM THE NAME IN SUCH A PITIFUL CONDITION WHOEVER IS PLEASED TO CALL THIS AN IDEAL DESIRE AND REFERS TO IT AS IDEAL AS IF HE WERE TRYING TO GET RID OF IT BY PRAISING ME DESERVES THE ANSWER THAT THE PRESENT SYSTEM IS A SCANDAL AND A DISGRACE AND THAT THE MAN WHO HAS FOR WARMTH IN THE MIDST OF ICE AND SNOW MUST INDEED GET ANGRY IF HE HEARS THIS REFERRED TO AS AN IDEAL DESIRE THE MATTER WE ARE NOW DISCUSSING IS CONCERNED WITH CLEAR URGENT AND PALPABLY EVIDENT REALITIES A MAN WHO KNOWS ANYTHING OF THE QUESTION FEELS THERE IS A NEED WHICH MUST BE SEEN TO JUST LIKE COLD AND HUNGER BUT THE MAN WHO IS NOT AFFECTED AT ALL BY THIS MATTER MOST CERTAINLY HAS A STANDARD BY WHICH TO MEASURE THE EXTENT OF HIS OWN CULTURE AND THUS TO KNOW WHAT I CALL CULTURE AND WHERE THE LINE SHOULD BE DRAWN BETWEEN THAT WHICH IS RULED FROM BELOW UPWARDS AND THAT WHICH IS RULED FROM ABOVE DOWNWARDS
