And basically, to this day, we can see how this mechanistic world view affects what we seek in a worldview, a folk worldview. For only a few individuals have tried to work their way out of it, for example, the famous philosopher Bergson, I don't know whether one can still mention him today, after the beginning of the war, after the mood of the French, or whether the word Bergson is now taboo as his name in France, I don't know. It is precisely Bergson who, since the war broke out, one might say, has continually presented his French to his French in the most savage manner against the German essence, namely against the German world view, and has managed to that it is precisely the Germans – who were great in a certain way, especially during the period of German idealism – but who have now fallen so low in the present day, [the Germans] have become a nation that only trains itself mechanically and in a machine-like way.

Es ist Bergson gerade, der, seit der Krieg ausgebrochen ist, man kann schon sagen, in der wüstesten Weise gegen deutsches Wesen, namentlich gegen deutsche Weltanschauung, Schimpfereien fortwährend seinen Franzosen vorbringt, und es zustande gebracht hat, seinen Parisern vorzuschwätzen, dass es gerade die Deutschen sind - die in einer gewissen Weise gerade zur Zeit des Deutschen Idealismus groß waren -, die aber nun so herabgekommen sind in der Gegenwart, [die Deutschen] seien ein Volk geworden, das nur noch sich mechanisch und maschinenhaft ausbildet.
