LA CIVILIZATION MODERNA Y

FL professor de la Universidad de Berlin
Won Williamowitz-M oellendorf, hace las
siguientes declaraciones acerca de la in
fluenza de A1emania en- la civilization
moderna:
"Lo que die como patricia aleman y

litico y espiritual de Alemania, que Sc nota
en- sus Universidades. Pero la ciencia

aislado, sine a la Humankind. Asi traba-
jaron en- otros tiempos los griegos y traba-
jo despues la Iglesia para todos.

Ger retrasados; pero no porque somos ale

la juventud estudiosa de habla e~spanola en-
cuentre una acogida menos amistosa des-
pues de nuestro t%riunfo. Es una de las
calumnias mas ma1vadas de nuestros enc
migos ell que tratemos de imponer al mum

Muy al contrario, la investigation filoso-

greso sc hasa en- la cooperation de los
