These are the fairy tales which live in Central Europe, and particularly the fairy tales which the brothers Grimm[^5] collected. This is a much better literature for the children than *Robinson*. And if one understands that which now happens between the European peoples in such a frightful, such a grievous and destiny-burdened way as an admonition to look at the way a little more exactly that developed in the subsoil of the events, at that which extends to himself in the present, then one will know above all, that it does not depend really on whether now a few German scholars send back their medals and certificates to England. If the admonition of the time is so strong that one recognises the materialistically inspired consciousness-soul of the British people in its significance, one also understands the significance of the *Robinson* reading and eradicates the whole *Robinson* once. Much more thoroughly, much more radically one will have to set to work if one is able to take into consideration the admonitions of our time correctly one day.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.
