A System of Ethics. E-book. Formato PDF Friedrich Paulsen - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
IN responding to the request of my friend Frank Thilly to speed this book on its journey, I feel impelled, first of all, to express to him my hearty thanks for his kindness in presenting my Ethics to his fellow-countrymen in their native tongue, a service which he has already performed for my Introduction to Philosophy. From my earliest youth I have had the feeling that a people closely akin to us dwelt beyond the ocean. This feeling was, perhaps, first aroused by the fact that not a few of the companions of my youth had found a new home on the other side; in my native land, schleswig-holstein, from which the anglo-saxons once sailed westward over the sea, the migration to the West still continues. Since then the years have woven many new bonds of union. And so it is now a special source of pleasure to me, also, as an author, to come into closer contact with the great nation which has shown such remarkable energy in establishing itself in the new world.
The German Universities: And University Study. E-book. Formato PDF Friedrich Paulsen - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
This intimate union of investigation and instruction gives the German university its peculiar character. There are excel lent scholars at Oxford and Cambridge, but no one would speak of them as the chief representatives of English scientific achievement. Many of England's most distinguished scholars, men like Darwin, Spencer, Grote, the two Mills, Carlyle, Macaulay, Gibbon, Bentham, Ricardo, Hume, Locke, Shaftes bury, Hobbes, and Bacon, were not connected with the universi ties at all, and of many of them it could be said that they would have been altogether impossible at an English university. But even the English professors are not, in the German sense, the instructors of the students. It is true, they deliver seien tific lectures, but the real instruction is usually left to fellows and tutors. In France, similarly, the scientific investigators, the great scholars, belong to the Academy, to the Institut de France. They are also, perhaps, members of the College de France, or of the Sorbonne, and as such they deliver public lectures, which anyone may attend. But they are not, like the German professors, the actual daily teachers of the students. Nor is it expected, on the other hand, that the members of the different faculties in France, especially in the provinces, Should be independent scientific investigators.
