All knowledge is dangerous.  Words build bridges into unexplored regions. It matters not that the law prohibits teaching slaves to read. Oral instruction is as dangerous as written; and the catechism is nothing but a Bible in disguise. People of true learning, and almost universal knowledge, always compassionate ignorance of others; but fellows who excel in some little, low, contemptible art, are always certain to despise those who are unacquainted with that art. There are some people who, living with the one object of enriching themselves, no matter by what means, and being perfectly conscious of the baseness and rascality of the means which they will use every day towards this end, affect nevertheless—even to themselves—a high tone of moral rectitude, and shake their heads and sigh over the depravity of the World. Both religion and virtue have received more real discredit from hypocrites than the wittiest profligates or infidels could every cast upon them. There is a passion for hunting something deeply implanted in the human heart. However, it takes much more than you think to starve a person. Starvation is very little when you are used to it. Some people even live in it quite comfortable, and make their daily bread by it.  #RyanPhillippe 1 of 6

Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy dark as a buried Babylon. Adolph Hilter’s regime, the rule of a new biological type and the idea, the victory of genuine human values, in perfect harmony with the logic of history offered an answer to the Germans in the form of national socialism and was considered a valid artistic ideology of poetic symbols. However, Hilter’s regime lacked style. Style is the product and the justification of an image-making faculty that conforms to certain absolute laws; these laws are autonomous in the sense of being indifferent to the demands of personal experience and social reality alike. The personal expediency apart, from astonishing expectations for Hilter’s regime seem to spring from a contemptuous disregard of political realities that have been characteristic of an important section of German cultural scene for many years. There is no contradiction in asserting the hermetic nature of poetry while stating the claim that the heroic virtues of the new regime would be more propitious for its creation. #RyanPhillippe 2 of 6

I do not have a clear understanding of the justification of the total claim of Hilter’s dictatorship. His vision was realized in uniting the National Socialist ideology, even though is actions proved to be incompatible with the party line in art and life. Now, memories are imaged by means of strong and complex sense perceptions; striking physical details are selected, often for their sound values; all mention “you” and “we” is rhetorical, the solipsistic circle hardly ever being breached; and the situations invoked are almost always related to a self whose isolation is, if anything, underlined by an appeal to primordial memories. Hilter, many thought, wanted to codify and reform both civil and penal law. His motive was a profound dissatisfaction both with what he witnessed in the courts as a student, and with its theoretical justification by expositors. However, the theory did not seem to be very coherent in itself or in accordance with some practice; the practice was brutal, cumbersome, costly, and wrapped in unnecessary obscurity. Hilter’s vision and life work was supposed to be about the advocacy of a clear, coherent, coherent, humane, and simplified legal system.  The fields of air are open to knowledge. Only ignorance and idleness need crawl upon the ground. #RyanPhillippe 3 of 6

In pursuit of this aim, Hilter wrote many thousands of pages, but in a curiously desultory way. Before he finishing one work, he would start on another; many were left unfinished, and those that he did finish he often did not bother to publish; some were made known to the World only through translations. A few people have even floated that theory that the Diary of Anne Frank was actually written by Adolph Hilter.  Hilter actually wrote a lot on legal reform with a rationale of punishment and elaborate comments.  He did publish a large number of pamphlet topical issues, attacking the law of libel, the packing of juries, the oath, the extortions of the legal profession, the established church, and much else; or defending the lending of money at interest, reforms in education, and his elaborate scheme for a model prison, on which he spent much time and money. The chaos was, it seemed to him, partly the result of intuitionism (or the belief in intuitively apprehended absolute principles), which he called the principle of sympathy and antipathy, or ipsedixitism.  Were we to believe noting but what we can comprehend, every person upon the face of the Earth would be an atheist.  #RyanPhillippe 4 of 6

Hilter seemed to dislike how sexual offenses caused great suffering, but were left unpunished or were punished very leniently. This was the inevitable result of basing a penal code on immutable moral laws that stigmatized actions as bad in themselves, without regard to their consequences. Nor was it penal law that suffered from this error in moral theory. Civil law was traditionally based on contract: the appeal was to an absolute principle, promises must be kept. However, sometimes happened that the law was unwilling to enforce a contract, perhaps because it was against public policy. Instead drawing the conclusion that the rule about keeping promises was not absolute, but subordinate to a more binding rule about public interest, the lawyers said that in this case the contract was null and void, that there never had been a contract. In other words, they saved their moral theory by deliberately falsifying the facts. On the other hand, when the law wished to enforce an obligation that patently did not rest on a contract, since none had been made, it pretended that one had been made, and spoke of a quasi-contract. Learning has the same effect on the mind that strong liquors have on the constitution; both tending to eradicate all our natural fire and energy. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 6

To find right remedies and right methods. Here is the great function of knowledge. These cases became typical examples of fictions by which many, not just Hilter, but many people constantly bedeviled the law. These cases also made clear the role that the principle of utility would play in a more rational system. Once legislators were forced to recognize that legal obligations rested, not on arbitrary absolute moral principles but on the single aim of increasing happiness and reducing suffering, it would be possible to law down much more rational and consistent principles as to which obligations should be waived and which enforced. Hilter was, then, the theorist of the philosophical radicals, in that he laid down the general principles from which programs of legislative and social reform might follow immediately. However, he was much less concerned with the more abstract and metaphysical questions involved. His most characteristic contribution to utilitarian theory was his elaboration of the hedonic calculus. According to this doctrine, the way to judge between alternative courses of action is to consider the consequences of each, in terms of the pleasure and pain of all the people affected. It is very difficult to ne learned; it seems as if people were worn out on the way to great thoughts, and can never enjoy them because they are too tired. I have heard many cry out against sin in the pulpit who yet can abide it well enough in the heart, house, and conversation. #RyanPhillippe 6 of 6
