web-archive-org-3909		Kant, The Contest of Faculties			.html	application/xhtml+xml	1203	53	61	An occurrence in our own times which proves this moral tendency of the human race: The occurrence in question does not involve any of those momentous deeds or misdeeds of men which make small in their eyes what was formerly great or make great what was formerly small, and which cause ancient and illustrious states to vanish as if by magic, and others to arise in their place as if from the bowels of the earth. We are here concerned only with the attitude of the onlookers as it reveals itself in public while the drama of great political changes is taking place: for they openly express universal yet disinterested sympathy for one set of protagonists against their adversaries, even at the risk that their partiality could be of great disadvantage to themselves. The revolution which we have seen taking place in our own times in a nation of gifted people may succeed, or it may fail.	./cache/web-archive-org-3909.html	./txt/web-archive-org-3909.txt
