"It has thus come to pass that, in place of a profound interpretation of the eternally recurring problems, a historical  yea, even philological  balancing and questioning has entered into the educational arena: what this or that philosopher has or has not thought; whether this or that essay or dialogue is to be ascribed to him or not; or even whether this particular reading of a classical text is to be preferred to that. IT HAS THUS COME TO PASS THAT IN PLACE OF A PROFOUND INTERPRETATION OF THE ETERNALLY RECURRING PROBLEMS A HISTORICAL YEA EVEN PHILOLOGICAL BALANCING AND QUESTIONING HAS ENTERED INTO THE EDUCATIONAL ARENA WHAT THIS OR THAT PHILOSOPHER HAS OR HAS NOT WHETHER THIS OR THAT ESSAY OR DIALOGUE IS TO BE ASCRIBED TO HIM OR NOT OR EVEN WHETHER THIS PARTICULAR READING OF A CLASSICAL TEXT IS TO BE PREFERRED TO THAT
 to stop their growth altogether; and the favourite means employed is to paralyse that natural philosophic impulse by the so-called "historical culture." A still recent system,[10] which has won for itself a world-wide scandalous reputation, has discovered the formula for this self-destruction of philosophy; and now, wherever the historical view of things is found, we can see such a naive recklessness in bringing the irrational to 'rationality' and 'reason' and making black look like white, that one is even inclined to parody Hegel's phrase and ask: 'Is all this irrationality real?' Ah, it is only the irrational that now seems to be 'real,' _i.e._ really doing something; and to bring this kind of reality forward for the elucidation of history is reckoned as true 'historical culture.' It is into this that the philosophical impulse of our time has pupated itself; and the peculiar philosophers of our universities seem to have conspired to fortify and confirm the young academicians in it.
