man as the middle-link betweeen two worlds Explanation: One of the central concepts of Herder's "Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte" is the idea that man is the connecting link between two worlds. "All is bound together in nature; one condition strives towards another, and prepares the way for it. If, therefore, man closes the chain of terrestrial organisations as its highest and last member, he likewise begins, just on that account, the chain of a higher order of creatures, as the lowest member of it; and thus is probably the middle-link between two systems of creation, intimately connected with each other."--Ideen, Bk. v. 6." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 48 mins (2004-04-16 20:23:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry, not THAT many ee\'s needed Reference: http://www.ccel.org/o/orr/view/l4nf.html |
