In this way, without resorting to sympathy or antipathy, and above all without resorting to antipathy, preconceived notions or hatred for what other national souls have to shape, one can describe the peculiar character of German national striving, as it expresses itself in one of its blossoms, in the world picture of German idealism, and one can say: Those who can understand something like that will understand whether the German people have a mission peculiar to them, to which they must cling, regardless of their nationality. Whether there is much understanding for this world view of German idealism in our time, especially among our enemies, is another question. And again: by speaking about this world view of German idealism, the German can at the same time show that he can speak differently, can speak from the spiritual facts, and that this is different from the way in which many of those who want to dispute the German's existence speak today, who have imposed on him the necessity of a fierce struggle for this existence.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

So kann man, ohne mit Sympathie und Antipathie, vor allen Dingen ohne dass man mit Antipathien, mit vorgefassten Meinungen, mit Hass auf dasjenige, was andere Volksseelen zu gestalten haben, hinweist —, so kann man den eigentümlichen Charakter des deutschen Volksstrebens, wie er sich ausdrückt in einer seiner Blüten, in dem Weltbild des Deutschen Idealismus, hinstellen, und man kann sagen: Diejenigen, die so etwas verstehen können, die werden verstehen, ob das deutsche Volk eine ihm eigentümliche Sendung hat, an der es hängen muss, welcher Nationalität sie auch angehören mögen.
