Description
Excerpt from German Idealism and Prussian Militarism
A story used to be told, about half a century ago, of a German scholar who had elaborated with the utmost care and thoroughness a system of philosophy which he felt sure would supersede all others. One day when he was expounding his system to some interested friends one of them called his attention to certain points that were clearly at variance with well established facts. His answer was: If your facts will not fit into my system, so much the worse for the facts. It is this peculiar perspicacity that enabled the Ger man war party, when the present conflict broke out, to foretell a rebellion in Ireland* and in.
