April 13, 2021 1854, American, April 17, Benjamin Tucker, Quotes by Activists

Johann Georg Hamann Quote: “Indeed, if a chief question does…”

Indeed, if a chief question does remain: how is the power to think possible? – The power to think right and left, before and without, with and above experience? then it does not take a deduction to prove the genealogical priority of language.

March 23, 2021 1730, August 27, German, Johann Georg Hamann, Quotes by Philosophers
