JOHANNA LIEBESTARK: The soul that has experienced Thomasius' miracle must feel transformed. Learned and unlearned people alike thirsted for the words he found. Where before was there a bringer of such words of wisdom that spoke to the souls of eternal things, which are indispensable to the human heart, and yet sounded in such a way that contradiction must fall silent? Until now, simple minds that wanted to know about the goals of the world were deprived of all comfort when they had to constantly hear: what you believe cannot stand up to reason and science. That security can penetrate our souls: we owe it to the teaching that Thomasius has given to the world.
