bearest  tiavldj- 

Along  v;ith  thls  j>ostcard,  I  am  sending  a 
special  delivery,  air-mail  letter  to  the  New 
Republlc  wlth  a  correctionjbfl'bhe  roview  aling  the 
llnos  you  suggest — mentioning  not  only  the  French 
Hbcistentlalists,  but  some  of  the  other  modern 
schools  you  deal  with,  I  hopo  that  you  llked  the 
rest  of  the  revlew  as  much  as  you  say;  it  seomed 
to  me  that  the  best  way  to  take  up  the  little 
Space  I  had  was  to  try  and  give  the  essence  of 
your  argument  rather  than  describe  the  book^  in 
more  general  terms« 

Herzlichsten  Danke  for  the  Vi  scher.  Do  you 
ever  see  Tor  sale  a  copy  of  I.miler's  Geschichte

THE  SCIENCE  PRESS 


BOX  749,  LANCASTER,  PENNSYLVANIA 


EDITORIAL   DEPARTMENT 


MEMORAHDUM 


*^^ 


The  enclosed  proof  of  your  biographical  sketch  to  be  in- 
cluded  in  the  second  edition  of  the  DIRECTOET  OF  AKERICAN  SCHOLARS 
has  a  different  appearance  than  that  for  the  first  edition.  The 
reason  is  explainod  on  the  proof  sheet.  Please  be  so  kind  as  to 
correct  this  proof  as  you  would  any  other  proof  and  retvim  it  to 
US  in  the  enclosed  envelope  as  protnptly  as  possible.  All  imnec- 
essary  correct ions  should  be  omitted. 

The  DIRECTORY  OF  AMERICAN  SCHOLARS  is  sponsored  by  the 
American  Covincil  of  Leamed  Societiee. 

The  last  edition  of  the  DIRECTORY  OF  AMERICAN  SCHOLARS 
contained  approxiinately  11,000  names  but  the  second  edition  will 
include  between  20,000  and  25,000  names.  This  will  make  a  tre- 
mendous  increase  in  the  size  and  usefulness  of  the  directory. 

Although  the  DIRECTORY  OF  AMERICAN  SCHOLARS  has  raore  than 
doubled  in  size,  and  the  costs  of  printing  and  editorial  Services 
have  about  doubled,  we  have  increased  the  cost  to  those  who  are 
included  in  the  directory  only  by  a  fraction  of  the  increase  in 
costs  to  US.  We  hope  that  o\ir  efforts  to  keep  the  cost  down  will 
lead  those  who  receive  proof s,  and  who  have  not  already  ordered, 
to  purchase  a  copy  for  their  personal  use  at  the  special  price  for 
those  included  in  the  book.  The  DIRECTORY  OF  AMERICAN  SCHOLARS 
can  continue  coming  out  at  regxilar  intervals  only  so  long  as  it 
is  supported  by  those  who  appear  in  the  directory.   It  should  be 
clearly  understood,  however,  that  inclusion  in  the  directory  has 
nothing  whatsoever  to  do  with  pvirchasing  a  copy  of  the  volme. 

A  prompt  retum  of  the  enclosed  proof  will  greatly  facili- 
tate  the  early  publication  of  the  directory.  Owing  to  the  short- 
ness  of  time,  this  will  be  the  only  proof  that  you  will  receive, 
as  no  second  request  can  be  sent. 


Your  Cooperation  has  been  rauch  appreciated. 

Sincerely  yours.

Doar  Dr.  BaumgardtiÄ 


Thanka  for  your  lettor  and  not©»  Now  that  you've  gone— -fortunately  for  me, 
only^HHP^pMHd4|Mili^tetnporarlly----and  our  convorsatlona  are  suspended,   I   find  Wash«^ 
a  rather  dull  place«  An  occaisönal   lottor   ftrom  you  will  mako  it  much  more  int« 
ereating« 

I 'm  aorry  I   couldn't  get  your  paper  up  to  you  as  soon  as  you  would  have  liked 
it,    but  I   waa  out  of  town  over  last  week  end  and  didn't  get  a  chanci5|jta  to  mail 
it»   I   kept  it  up  until  Priday  because  I  wanted  to  finish  the  whole  tliing  for 
you,    in  apite  of  your  inal^huctional»  to  aend  it  up  aa  it  waa,   I   don't  think 
that  a  day  or  two  will  mako  much  dlfferenoe« 

I  hope  you  don't  raind  the  aeverity  of  my  correctiona— they  wer©  only  made, 
aa  I   know  you '11  realize,   )mmmmg^  becauae  I  wanted  to  give  your  ideaa  the  best 
poaaible  Chance  they  could  have  with  Engliah   readera»  No  matter  how  valuable 
ideaa  *may  be,    readera—eapecially  American  on*B— are  apt  to  be  thrown  off  by  aome 
auperficial   and  wholly  inconaequential   awkwardneaa  of  phraaing  or   aentence  atruc- 
ture;   and  aince  ita  difficult  enough  for  thera  to   ap;reöiate  real  tliinking  any- 
way,    there'a  no  point  in  allowing  an  added  obatacle  to  atay  in  the^  path  of  com- 

pr^enaion  and  appreciation« 

» 

Aa  for  my  '•reactiona"!   They  were  much  the  aame  aa  to  your  paper  on  Caas« 
irer.  By  that  I  mean  that  you  very  akillfully  and  oncvincingly  pointed  out  the 
errora  of  both  ^^clal  relativiam  and  ethical/b^olutiam,   but  gave  only  the 
mereotk  hinta   aa  to  how  you  would  aolve  the  problama  which  m  they  had  failöd  to 


solvo*  You  go  farther  in  this  direction  in  your  Bentham  chapter  than  you  do  in  tha 

Casairer  essayi  but  tho  reador,   I  think,    is  left  in  Boino\*iat  the  same ^ 

tantalized  position#   I  realize,   of  coursa,    that  this  is  no  objection— the  chapter 
is  tlie  last  part  of  a  book  in  which,   presumably,  Bentham' s  Solution  to  all  thiisa 
Problems  has  already  boen  presentedj   and  the  reader,   again  persumablvj  will  have 
this   Solution  in  mlnd  when  he  reads  your  conclusion»  But  if  the  miM^f  le  to  be 
published  separately,    I  would  suggest  that  you  try  to  explain  Bentham' s  middle 
way  between  relativism  and  absolutitm  a  little  more  concretely  and  in  a  little 
more  detail«  I    shouldn't  be  atn  all   suprised  if  you  had  already  thou^t  of  this 
yourself ;   but  if  you  haven't,    I  think  its  worth  considering«  Aside  from  this  point 
there's  little  morejt  to  say,    except  that  I 'm  anxious  to  read  the  rest  of  the  book 
~even  if  I   do   approach  it  backwards—because  it  seems  to  me  that  you're  roally' 
tackling  vital   and  fundamental  problems  vfhich  are  not  only  phiff^sophical  but 
moral   in  the  widest  sense* 


t 


Some  friends  of  mine  are  planning  to  drive  up  to  New  York  during  the  next 
few  weeka-- 1  don't  know  exactly  >Äienf-and  if  Ihey  leave  before  the  ehd  of  June 
I   shall  certainly  drop  in  to  see  you«  I   am  hoping  that  this  will  be  posaible* 
Por  the  rest,  I  have  been  plugging  away  at  the  office  (as  usual)  and  trying  to 
do   some  work  for  myself  too.   Still  reading  Cassirer— I  wiih  youM  teil  him  how 
mudi  I  admire  the  beok  and  how  much  I 'm  enjoying  it.   I   just  finishedjfc  the  chap- 
ter on  Reinen  Vernunft  and  think  I    can  go  back  to  the  book  now  with  a  sense  that 
I  mmmmmmm  really  understand  its  essential  points*   Täte  wants  me  to  finish  my 
essay  as   soon  as  possible  so  I^m  trying  to  get  that  organized«   I   gave  him  an 
outline  of  the   aecond   section  which  pleased  him  very  much — he  said  that  if  I 
worked  it  out  in  detail  I  would  really  make  an  Important  contribution  to  the    * 
subject« 


My  fondest  regard«  to  Mrs«   Baumgardt, 


i^tV4,^

Jmo'20,   19A4 


Dear  Dr.  Baumgardtt*» 

* 

I'm  sorry  if  my  letter   gave  you  the  improssion  tiiat  I   was   disappointed  in 
your   article  on  Bentham»   Qult©  tho  contr^y-^it  interested  me  vory  much  and  stim« 
ulated  a  desire  to  read  Bantham  hiiüselr— -a  d«siro  which,   unfortunataly,   I  cannot 
ßatisfV   at  tho  presant  timo.   I 'm  quite  siire  that  if  I  missad  anything  in  the 
articla  it  was  bocausa  of  my  ignoranca  of  ehtical  thaory  rathar  than  becausa  of 
any  lack  in  tha  articla  itsalf«  My  su^gastion  about  adding  to  it  wa«  promptad 
solaly  by  tha  fact  that  I  knaw  tha  articla  waa  part  of  a  largar  bock,    and  ba- 
cauaa  you  rafarrad  at  tha  end  of  tha  articla  to  othar  aspacts  of  BanthamU 
thöory,   Ässuming   that  the  readar  had  alraady  read  it#   T^is  might  hava  causad 
confusion— and  my   sug^astion  wa»  promptad  solaly  by  this,   not  bacausa  I   felijthe 
articla  waeif  i|  incorü^Jlata  as  it  stood«   I  think,    too,   that  what  I   falt  had 
another   causa — ona  of  viiich  ^j  raight  hava  baankaconscioua«  You  wrote  tha  article 
— or  rather  tha  chaptar-- with   tha  reat  of  tha  nook  alrrady  in  your  mind's 
aya«   You  leaned  on  your  prcvioue  expoeition  and  falt  it  only  nacassary  to  mako 
brief  hints  to  it,    in  tha  final  chaptar,    in  ordar  to   aetablioh  your  point.  A 
raadar  going  throu^  the  ivhola  book,    ae  you  had  dona,   would  find  this  perfactly 
satisfactory.   Hut  a  raadar  knowing  notliing  about  Bantham  or  about  atliical  aMiBPif 
thaory,    as  was  my  casa,    would  findf  tha  brief  indications  unsatisfactoryo   Sinco 
you  spoke  of  having  it  publishad  eapar^taly,    I  feit  that  thia   should  ba  pointad 
out  to  you,    althougji  I  may  hava  axprassad  myself  awkwardly  in  doing  soo 

Things  here  il\ Washington  go  on  as  usual,   with   tha  waather  becoming  hottar, 
somatimas  quite  unbearabla,    and  lifa  becoming  even  dullar— if  that '3  possibla.

The  cultural  vacuity  of  Washington  alwaye    astounds  mo,    considering  the  fact  that 
the  capitalB  of  p  other  countries   are  (a^sually  their  cult^yteil   centers,    and  that 
the  best  brains  in  America  are  presurüably  in  Washington.    If  theM  are  Aoierica's 
best  brainjB,    then  I  muet  confess  to   a  very  ^aMmm  gloomy  view  of  ihe  future,   One 
of  the  .i^^'^fright  spote  is  Mr.   Täte;    and  I  feel  it  a  great  misfortune  that  you 
never   got  to  know  him  except  in  his  official   capacity.   In  conversation  with  him  a 
few  days  ago  he  expressed  the   same  regret,    saying  that  he  would  have  liked  very 
much  to  have  known  you  outside  the  Library,    to  have  exchanged  ideas,    ani  become 
friends.  H©  really  is  a  man  of  great  integrity~one  of  the  few  in  America  whom 
I   unqualifiedly  respect.    I  was   telling  him  of  our  conversation  some  time  ago, 
when  we  ftondered  over  the  3erman  authors  who  were  first-rate  thinkers  and  stylists 
at  the  same  time,    and  he  asked  me  if  you  mi^tn't  be  interested  in  writing  an 
article  on  modern  Gerrnan  philoaophy — e«!>afAally  vrhere  it   shade»  off  into  n  lit- 
erary  criticism  and  esthetics — for  his  magazine.   I   told  him  I  would  broach  the 

project  to  you» 

• 

There  is,   hewever,   one<  catcht   Ho  suggested  further  that  you  write  the 
atticle   in  German  and  that  I  undertaka  to  translate  it.   I   should  be  only  too    . 
happy  to   do   so;    but  I   told  him  that  I    doubted  if  you  wanted  to  write  in  German* 
He  exr^^g^ned  that  his  magazine  was  primarily  a  literary  one,    where   style  was 
of  first  importance,    and  he  feit  you  would  have  a  better  chance  of  making  an 
impression  on  an  audience  of  primarily  literary  people  if  you  wrote  in  Germmn 
instead  of  in  ^glish.  immimmmmmamßmimt  Altiiou^   the  idea  may  not  appeal        ^ 
to  you  at  first,   I    should  strcngly  urge  you  t#  give  it   serious»  consideration. 
Täte' 8  magazine  -/dll,    I   am  sure,   become  the  best  of  its  kind  in  the  country;    it 
will   give"you  a  chance  of  becaning  known,    not  only  the  the  acadomic   philosophers, 
but  to  the  really  vital   intellectual   elite  —and  there  is  such   a  group  in  America, 
although   an  absymally  amall  one.   Besides  all  of  which,   I   think  the   subject  mi^t

75^  Van  Buren  St.  M. 

Wa»h.   D.   C. 


Dear  Dr#  Baumgardti- 


I   waa   delighted  to   receive  your  recent   letter,    although  it   stayed  in  my  o'^fice 
a  few  dayo  beforo  I   aaw  it.   I've  beon  on  vacation  the  laöt  two  Wöeks— spendinp-  a 
week  in  Ilarper's  Forry,   with  Rachel,    and  a  week  in  New  York— and  canit  back  to'my 
Office  only  Ulis  Ilonday.    I  was  beginninc  to  be  afraid  that  you  had  forgotten  mc, 
m  tho   peace  and  aolitude  of  Vermont,    and  knowing  how  valuable  these  months  of  un- 
interrputed  work  are  to  you  I    ehould  not  have  been  offended  if  you  had  actually  done 
80.   But  it  i3  nice   to   Icncw  that  you  didn't. 

I   read  ovor  your  lecture  with  great  interest.   I  think  that,    witli   some  minor 
editorial  revisions,   it  wculd  be  «ninently  "geeignet"   fcr  Mr.    Tate's  purposee.    .., 
far  aa  I   ajn  concerned,    it  was  one  of  üi©  mcst  illuminating   digcusaions  l've  read 
of  theso  people,   whosc  names  arc  just  barely  known  In  Araerica  excent  to  profesfoional 
philosophere.   Vm  quite  sure  that   fche  public  Täte  T^ts   for  hia  nagazine  would  find 
it  as  interesting  as  I   did;   but  of  course  I    cannot  predict  w'iK^er  he     will  a^-ree 
with  lae.   If  you  give  me  pemiission  to  correct  it,   I   shall  go   ahead  and  do   so   Ind. 
send  it  along  to  him  with   a  note  giving  my  reaeons  why  I   think  he   ahould  print  it. 
It  could  be  used  very  nicely  as   a  Crerman  chronicle,   giving  a  bricf  and  elernentary 
survey  of  th«3ei-:3oveir:ent8  in  modern  German  thou^t,   which  are  intinately  tied  up 
!in.th  other  culi(^al  developnents.    I    should  like,   however,    to   convert  it  into   an 
articlö,    rather  than  oending  it  to  him  in  the  form  of  a  lecture,    and  can  eaeily  do 
so   airaply  by  changing  a  few  phracee.   Als©,    some  of  the  more  personal  coments—for 
example,    the  conclurdon— would  not,    I   feel,    be  particularly   3uitab;^  for  an  in- 
p-rsonal   chronicle.   These  could   simply  be   deleted.    This  would  invdUve  cutting  onli& 
a  f  ew^  3ontence8   at  the  most,    and  what  would  be   left  io  your  discussion  tracing  German 
mmiaitämk  ethical   thought  from  Flusaerl  through  Scheler,    iieideg-er.   Hartmann  and 
Jaspers.   If  Täte  doe»  not  print  it,    I   thinlc  he  \fill  be  maicing  a  big  mistake;    and 
tliere  se«!is  to  me  to  be  no  rcaeon  why  he  ahouldn't.  But  I  muct  in  fairneaa  warn  you 
that  American  literary  naople—at  least  a  number  of  them~5iave  a  prejudice  a^ainst 
getting  lost  in  mere  "philosophizing"»  and  that  tiiis  prejudice  m^y  olay  some  oart 
in  Täte 's  ultiraate   decision. 


#    ^ 


I   was   sorry  to  hear  that  the  Journal   of  the  History  of  Ideaa   did  not  accept 
the  chapter   of  your  Bentham,    but  I  must  confesn   that  I  had  half-anticipated  tiieir 
refusal.   They  are  interested  only  in  the  hist^  of  ideaa— tliat  ia,    dead  onea— not 
in  ideas  themselvos  v/hich  are  alive  at  the  present  time  and  are  going  to  make  hia- 

tory.    Since  you   do  not  content  yourself  merely  with  providing  facts  about  the  his- 
tory of  Bentharj's  ideas,    but  try  to  v/ork  them  out  as   living  principles  ;yiaich   still 
have  philosophical   and  ^»Ihical   validity,   naturally  your  chapter  waa  not  suitablo 
for  tlieir  pffHipiBB  .purposes.    I  wonder  if  the  Journal  of  PhiloGophy  would   je  interec^ted 
in  the  Charter — tliay  are  presiJiLiaDly  intcrGGtsd  in  ideas   as  weil  as   Va^  history  of 
^«nMiK  ideas.    But  you  are  probabiy   far   ^et^er  arfS^uainted  wiüi  pniicaophical  .Journals 
in  Lhic  country  than  I   am« 

we 

li  too  rcgretted  that  ^fmm  could  not  phiioaopliize  poripatetically  in  Long  Beach 
while  you  were  in  New  York,   buti  I  have  tried  xo  maice  up   for  it  hj  continuing'^my  read- 
ing,    30  that  when  we  resui^aQ  our  "oalko  in  tho  Fall — someching  to  which  I   am  locking 
f©rward^v;ith   great   oagernoas— I  may  po8<:iDly  prove  a  littie  more   ^timulating  and 
less  it^norant.   I   am  now  trylag  to  fathom  the  mysteriea  ot  the  transcendeutal   ded- 
uction  Witt!  the  heip  of  Cohen' s  Comiegoap  zur  Kritik  acr  Reinen  Vernunft^   \*iicn  I 
bcugnt  up  in  New  York  last  week,    aiid   also  of  Caird's  first  bv.ok  on  Kani;— not  tlio 
later  two-volume  work— which   strikea  me  as   being  ^ory  intelligent  aud  qui^e  weii- 
written.   I've  also  been  reading  Cassirer's   Freiheit  una  P(.na,   wnich  I.  found  faa- 
cinating#ib  It's  probabiy  not  hia  oeat  book,    aa  you   toid  me,    b^^t  its  one  of  tha 
few  boöks  I  know  of  in  any  language  dealing  witn  ttie  history  of  the  conccpt  of  form— 


i 


althüu<^  of  courso  in  a  vcry   rcstricted  period  of  tiise.   Non«xftül«88,    I  was  sreatiy 
irapraseetl  witli  hig  diccusaion  of  now  various  esthetic  theorie«  firs^   e.erged  aa  off- 
shoota  of  Leibniäsian  doctrine.   I've  only  read  about  half   ihe  book  and  had  to  Interrupt 
my  readin^  for  other,   more  Iruiediatö  book«|por  my  aarayj    bat  I  plan  to  g«t  back  to  it 
rs  aoon  as  possibie.   ]/alsc  looked  tiiroug^i  his  Phliosonhle  der  Aufklanmg  ^rfiich  ia  a 
briiliant  job  of  synthesis,   Onc9  you  start  r«ading  Cas^iirer  you'ra  aiH^  eimply 
swept  along  in  the  breathleas  ru»h  of  his   expoaition— I   alwayo  have  the  feeling  h««« 
in  a  great  hurry,    for  fear  he  won't  have  tine  to  say  everything  he  wants.  Considor- 
ing  the  fact  that  most  booke  hav«  so  m  fsw  ideas  that  one  feels  thelr  autiiora  are 
ctretching  üiea  out  to  unconscionable  lengtlis,    its   e:diilarating  to  raad  a  man  \ho$/ 
one  feels  never  has   ticie  and  space  enou,^  to  give  cverything  he  has  to  off«r. 

About  a  nonth   ago  I   decided  to  ro-write'the  firat  aection  of  lay  easaö^   com- 
pletely  becaitse  I  had  somc  new  ideas  about  the  meterial.    Also,    the  style  didn't 
.please  me  particulariy.   Sincc  I  haitcja  rauch  firmer  grasp  mmm  of  my  ovm  ideaa  than 
wJien  I   first  «gm*  atartsd,    I 'm  sharpening  the  expcsition  and  trying  to  put  things 
aa  siraply  and  clearly  aa  posaible.   Also,   I «m  changing  the  orranization  somewhat  so 
that  my  introduction  will   begin  with  a  little  section  on  feessing  to   net  üie  ground 
for  my  later  expcsition.    Dilthey's  analysis  of  Lessing  in  Das  Sriebnia  und   Die 
Dichtung  gave  me  most  of  the  materiai  I  nccded  for  my  own  purposea, 


I'm 


glad^  to  roport  that,  whiie  my  brother  is  not  have  any  t*o  pleaaant  a 


i 


time,  he  ia  not  letting  it  bother  him  too  much.  He'a  now  in  tiie  '■^l^tmmmS' and 
apenda  aoat  of  hie   time  laying  nines  and  building  bridges,   but  he'a   also  ctudying 
by  mall  in  the  University  of  Chicago  and  tries  to   do  his  best.   That,    I   ima'-ine, 
is  all  any  cf  us  can  do  these  daya,  "

Aug.    22,   1945 


Dcar  Dr#  Baocigardt: 

feel  territly  frullty  at  not  rcplying  tefore  this  timdto  your  last— oad  most 
welcome  letter.   I  was  hJiping  to  be  able.  to  do  so  on  my  vacation,  which  has  Just  ter-' 
minatod,   but  f  oxuid  when  I  got  to  Bryn  Mawr  aad  really  relaxed  that  it  was  imposs- 
ible  to  smraon  up  enou;^  nervoxis  energy-  to  vvrite.   I  didn't  realiz©  how  tlred  I  waa 
untll  I  relaxed;   I  am  hanr,y  to  say  that  I  feel  mich  better  now  aad  had  a  f ine  re2t. 
While  I  did  do  a  good  deal  of  browstns  in  the  llbrary— part  of  that  tlme  looking  up 
reyiews  of  yorur  boote   in  philo^ohical  Journals.   incidentally~I  kept  rnny  from  sus- 
talned,   systeraatldi  effort  of  any  kind  and  am  glad  that  I  did  so.  But  my  conscience 
did  bother  rae  aboiit  your  letters»  and  I  hope  you  forgive  wy  long  sileace, 

I  en^oyed  reading  your  papers  very  mch,  porticularly  the  book  reviern  of  Ecy's 
volume.  Wl^ile  it  is  h^sh,,  it  seems  to  me  fair;   and  a  little  bit  more  of  that  kind 
of  harshness  in  this  country— an  iinpatience  with  intellectual  mediocrity— woiid  go 
fhr,  I  ^1,   tov/ards  raising  its  intellectual  level.   In  view  of  ^^  the  fact  that 
the  ediWor  of  the  magaxine  inslsted  on  a  review  of  the  book,   in  spite  of  your  wiah 
to  pay  no  attention  to  it,   I   think  your  attack  quite  justified. 

You  will  remember  «hat  I  spokeHo  you  sometime  ago  about  the  öwiss  professor 
of  German  in  Maryland  Üniversity  who  had  publishin«  connections  in  that  count--.   and 
who  was  readin,?  your  )M*k.  He  has  just  received  a  letter  from  his  sister,  who  is  a 
reader  for  a  Swiss  Publishing  hotAe,  saying  that  she  knows  of  no  reaaon  why  a  first- 
THte  philosophical  study  could  not  be  published  in  Swj^erland.  Most  Publishing-  ter 
houses  there,   she  says,  publish  a  fevr  books  every  yeeft  strictly  for  their  p-estige 
value ,  not  1 0  oake  any  money  out  of  them.  And  she  also  says  that  she  fe  prepared  to 
bring  your  hook  to  the  attention  of  her  own  Publishing  house,  and  to  the  attention 
of  other  Oerman  languago  hoases  if ,  for  any  reaaon,  her  own  house  should  be  tuiwill- 

ing  4o  taice  it.  I  don»t  know  your  exact  feeling  in  the  uatter,  and  I  realize,  MtoHBaa 
of  course,  that  putting  the  Bentham  volume  into  Görman  woald  be  a  laborioua  and 
exhaustine  task.  But  this  is  a  way  of  getting  the  book  published  at  any  rate.  And. 
b«Bides,   odd  as   it  may  sound,  I  am  convinced  that  if  it  were  published  in  Seuman 
you  TOuld  havea  rf^ch  less  difficult  time  getting  it  publiaked  in  this  country  in 
Snglish.  My  Mimt,  friends  the  Parkes  teil  me  that  most  bl^  .itari^^  Uew  York  rAibli-b- 
ing  houses  have  no  objection  tda  book  in  a  «BPi  forei^i  language  and  are  quite  wlll- 

iag  to  assifii^  tronslators  to  it*  if  they  decide  to  publj^^  it.  Again,   I  say  that  I 

don't  know  exactly  ho#  far  you  are  willlng  to  go  in  this  dljrection;  but  it  wuld 

be  worthwhile,  it  seems  to  me,  to  translate  a  few  chapters  into  Gerraan—or  rather, 

write  them  in  German— and  perhaps  send  a  carbon  tojfeiv  this  Swiss  lady  so  she  can 

«et  an  id^a  of  wh^t  the  bookk  is  like.  knd  give  the  Swiss  publishers  sorae  noäion 
too* 

i 

Our  friend  Gianl^o  has  not  gone  to  Belgium  after  all  becuaae  he  was  diss- 
atisfied  with  the  sal^  offered  him.  I  must  confess  that  I  am  selfishly  glad  he 
is  not  ijoing  bocause  I  ia»c  have  becone  quite  attached  to  him— he  is  one  of  the 
few  TfoÄple  in  Washington  I  can  really  talk  with.  bes|^3  your  seif —and  I  should 
have  missed  him  a  r.ood.  deal.  The  weather  in  Washington  seems  to  be  iniprovin^,  and 
it  stmalmimc  considerably  more  comfortable  here  now  than  it  was  a  f ew  weeks  !ago , 
when  the  continuous  rain  made  life  practically  ig»  tmbearatle.  ' 


I  am  qaite  certain  that  I  ahnW  shall  be  able  to  be  in  New  York  in  the  latter 
part  of  September,  and  am  looking  f onvaid  to  meeting  you  in  New  York  and  introduclng 
you  to  the  Parkes.  They  told  me  that.  after  I  spotoe  of  you  last  time,  they  visi«4d 
the  home  of  Albert  Salomon,  who  is  a  good  friend  of  theirs,  and  m  saw  your  books  on 


i 


'..af 


^ 


his  dask.   S^ilomoa,   they  told  me,   spoke  of  you  in  the  hisJiest  terms. 

Rachel  is  workln^j  hi^rd  at  Bryn  Mawr,  but  enjoylnß  the  peace  and  qulet  at  the 
same  time.   Zucker,    it  may  interest  you  to  know,  has  sone  to  Berlin  to  edit  textbookg 
which  the  Ainericaas  are  CiOins  to  use  in  German  schools.  He  haß  a  wonderful  ch^^ce 
in  this  Position,    It  seems  to  me,   to  do  soinething  really  worthwhile«  Hy  bro 
back  in  this  couiatry  and  CÄJoyins  his  forloush;   I  re^et  that  it  will  prÖ^ably  be 
i  mpoesible  for  him  to  meet  you  and  Urs.  Baungardt,   since  he  is  goin^  tcfT/est  Ooast 
sometime  next  month.  However,   since  the  war  is  now— .Tank  Oodl— over,   I  hope  that 
within  the  not  too  distant  fulrure  the  ATLiy  will  mimm  release  him  to  go  back  to 
school»   I  am  thinlcin^-  ^pp  of  ßoing  back 'to  school  myself,  biit  when  or  where— or» 
for  that  matter,   how— I  don't  know. 

Hegards  to  llrs*  Baum^;ardt  from  Rachel  and  iiiyself ,   and  fi^ain\  please  accept 
my  spolOi^-ies  for  not  writing  sooner.

"DeBT  ßr.  Baumgardt: 


Forgive  lay  delay  in  s endine  yoii  the  copy  of  your  correspondence  with  Lowith, 
and  in  delaylng  to  write  you»   I  have  "been  qaite  busy,   and  I  didn't  v/ant  to  send 
you  a  note  aintil  my  plans  for  the  ßiimmer  were  more  settled  than  they  liave  "bean  in 
the  last  f ew  wcekst 


I   do  noi»  think  it  will  "be  possilDle  for  me  to  come  to  see  you  at  Long  Seach, 
imich  as  I  shoold  like  to.   Bat  ray  "brother  is  now  living  in  llew  Yorl&— I  know  you  will 
te  delighted  to  hear  that  he  has  "been  adtnitted  to  Harvard — and  I  have  given  him  your 
address«  HeJiaa  promised  to  get  in  toach  with  yoii  and  is  vatry  anxioas  to  see  you  and 
talk  over  «thicatl  problems.   I  gave  him  the  fra,2Eient  I  had  of  yoiir  Survey  of  Mod- 
ern  Ethics,   and,   I  can  assure  you,  he  was  an  enthusiastic  reader.  "Why,"  he  said,   "he 
really  has   something:  to  sa^^H"   This  after  seeking  enli^ihtenment  in  John  De\7ey's  H^imnn 
^^'ature  and  Conduct,   whioh  he  found  mach  toolfuzzy  for  his  tastes.   I  think  he  is  very 
pronising  naterial,    and  leave  him  to  your  practised  pedaco^lcal  hand. 

I  laiow  you  will  "be  happy  to  hear,   too,   that  I  am  going  to  Uiddletury  Colle^et 
I   dic^  not  ^et  my  six  weeks ,  but   I  did  get  five;    this  mepjis  I  will  have  to  leave  the 
c  ollere  a  week  "before  the  term  ends,  "but  it  willbe  worth  my  while  even  to  go  for 
that  time.  Y/hile  there,   I   definitely  plan  to  come  and  see  you  and  shall  keep  you  ii>- 
f orned  of  my  plans«  Rachel  has  decided  to  stay  hone  this  s-nrnrner  ^nd  work  syistem- 
aticaLly  on  a  "book  on  modern  J^panlsh  poetry;   perhapo  we  can  go  to  Mexico  next  sum^rer 

Täte  was   enthusiastic  about  myassay  on  "Bishop,   and  said  it  v;as  the  "best   thlnf 
ever  written  on  him.   Since  Täte  wr4|TJ6  one  himself ,   I  was  very  pleased  to  cJ^t   this 
compÜDient«   It'a  going  to  be  published  next  January,   the  tlme  that  a  volume  of 
Bisho-p's  Collected  Foems^    edited  by  Täte,  a-npears.  The  Flaubert  thing  seems  def- 
initely cettled,   ind  the.  pu>^li eher  is  drawing  up  a  contract.  The  nore  I  think  about 
it  the  more  enthusiastic  I  become  at  the  idea  of  translating  the  Baader  book,   and 
I   strongly  'ur^e  you  to  find  out   if  any  publishers  would  be  interested.  Täte  is  now 
editor  of  a  Publishing  house,   you  know,   and  I'm  going  to  see  him  down  T^^ß  ^^^  end 
of  this  month.   1*11  sound  him  out   and  see  if  there' s  any  Chance  of  publ^Q^ing  some-

Dear  Dr.   and  Mrs.  Baningardt: 

I  have  been  wanting  to  write  yoa  "before  this» 
"but  decided  to  wait  until  I  comld  send  you  a  note 
along  with  thc  translation  of  yofur  Hildreth  essay. 
This   is  it — and  I  hope  you  like  lt.  To  save  myself 
work  on  the  typing,   I   omitted  extensive  English  quo- 
tations^y  slmply  noting  the  pages  where  they  are 
found  in  your  manuscript  in  the  sequence  they  occnir. 
Since  a  final  copy  of  iny  translation  will  have  to  be 
typed  anyway,   I  thorught  it  would  be  faater  to  do  it 
this  way» 

Your  manuscript  arrived  safely,  as  I  wrote  to 
Dr.  Kason  some  days  ago.  Sefore  I  begin  to  work  on 
it   concentratedly,   I  should  like  to  get  one  thing 
clear:    Do  you  want  me  sinply  to  conf ine  my  correct- 
ions   to  changes    in  wcjrd  order,   or  would  you  welcome 
more  extensive  stylljwtic  changes  if  I  think  they're 
necessary.   I  think  I   can  make  the  manuscript  not  only 
passable  but  ^ood  English— styllsticallyt   I  mean,  not 
only  grammatically»   I  don*t  wish  to  disparage  the  effi. 
orts  of  those  who  worked  on  it  earlier,  but  I  think 
that,   with  a  free  hand,   I  can  improve  it  materially. 
Let  me  knov;  your  feelings   in  the  matter. 

Rachel  and  I  had  a  wonderful  time  on  Hed  llount- 
and,   and  lookk  back  to  our  Visit  with  you  with  de- 
ligjit  and  regret  that  it  was  so  short«  We  are  look- 
ing  forward  to  your  retvim»   G-ive  our  regards  to  Hi^» 
and  Mrs.   Fisher,   and  our  thanks  for  their  gracious- 
ness.

Dear  Qr.   ruid  Mrs.  B/aumgardt: 


I  hnve  delayed  writine'  you  hopine  th^t,  v/hen  I  did,  I  shoiild  "be  aUe  to 
teil  you  I  could  aal<B  good  my  prondse  to  coxe  and  see  yrri  in  Long  Beach.  Bnt 
political  events  have  conspired  against  m^— the  passa^o  of  r.c\v  IJbcr  le^is« 
lation  and  wa^^lioiir  legialation  has  increased  my  rrork  tremendo^isly  at  the 
Office  in  tlie  last  few  weelOB,  ani  I  oli  afraid%:  that  it  will  "be  IrnposslLlo  for 
ne  to  get  awaj^  at  this  tlme«  Eowever,  Racliel  and  I  are  definitely  planning 
to  corne  and  see  you  in  Arlington;   so  we  can  look  forv;ard  to  that« 

Uy  Bjalzac-Stendhal  revie\7  tumed  into  a  «0-p:>^e  article,   I  did  not  have 
it  ready  a^.  the  ^eacline  time  (thic  is  another  reason  I  coiildaH,  como  to  see 
you) ,  "but  sent  awsy  what  I  hacU-a'bout  15  pageg — and  mailed.  the  rest  off  air- 
mall  l^st  Sat-urday*  I   thinJc  it  will  interest  you  v/hen  you.  read  it.  I  tried  to 
say  sane  funda-^.ental  things  not  only  atout  Balzac  and  Stendiml  "out  also  about 
-Ämericari  caltiire.  I'm  hoping  it  v;lll  appear  in  the  next  issue  of  Sewanee/ 
TThich  should  come  out  the  end  of  June,  although  my  delay  in  getting  in  the 
last  fev7  pages  laay  delay  it  -until  Oct<Ä:er.  P^ilmer  teils  me,  however,  he 
will  try  to  get  it   in  this  one# 

I  "believe  I  told  you  sonetine  ago  that  so!ne*boc;y  wanted  to  print  the 
first  pttrt  of  my  article  on  "Spatial  7oria"   in  an  anthology  of  modem  British 
and  Ainerican  criticisn«  This  has  definitely  "been  decided  on,  and  it  will  give 
ne  a  welcome  cloance  to  correct  the  style  T?hich  I  can't  tear  to  read  now.  I»m 
tri'ing  to  sQil  the  dditor  of  the  antholoey  the  idea  of  prlnting  the  first  and 
last  part«;  T>ut  he  ■aoy  not  have  space  enoru^i  for  it.  In  anjr  case,   It's  nice 
to  know  that  my  ideas  are  getting  arotmd» 

I*n  going  to  correct  the  oanuscript  of  your  history  of  Ethica — the  chap- 
tera  on  Bentham  and  Kant — and  hope  to  "be  a"ble  tom^g  it  along  ^  with  me 
to  Arlington.  Meaawhile,  please  mmtm  send  ne  yo-ar  latest  writinga  if  you 
have  copies;  I'm  veiy  anxiOLis  to  read  them.     Our  love  to  you  "both— and  we'll 


see  you  sonetine  in  Au^jst«  Please  write.

I  think  that  you  and  the  editor  of  Sewaiiae  Haviaw  must  have  been  in  surreptitious 
communlcatim,  for  in  the  latter  part  of  July  he  seuo  me  a  note  asklng  if  I  would  trans- 
late  two  essays  of  Jacques  Maritain,  Why  he  ahould  aak  me,   I  donH  know;  but  you  may 
have  told  him  that  you  thought  I  avHHLvas  a  good  translatar.   In  any  eve^xu,   to  do  him 
a  favor,  I  consentad— much  to  my  sorrow;   for  the  essays  tumad  out  to  be  the  worst  kind 
of  uncTiuous  nonsense.    I  got  them  out  of  the  way  as  soon  as  I  could,  and  am  now  about

Jan*  28,  1951 

14  bl  s  rae  iViOuton-iAivernet 
i^aris*  14 


Dear  David  and  Carola: 

1   4.  f^f^^®  forgive  me  for  havlng  taken  so  long  to  answer  your 
last  letter.  i  naedn^t  teil  jou   how  happy  1  am  that  David  p-ot 
a  grant  from  the  Bollingen  i^tmd,  and  that  he  will  be  able  to 
devote  more  time  than  ever  to  the  work  that  I  know  is  so  impor- 
tant*  heading  that  you  were  soon  to  receive  the  proofs  of  Car- 
ola»  s  bock,  1  remembered  that  several  times  in  jeot  David  had 
remarked  to  me  that  your  own  volume  would  appear  before  his; 
and  so  it  has  turned  out#  jjut  David,  please  remember  that  1 
have  more  than  a  friendly  interest  in  the  Bentham  volume — i 
did,  after  all,  put  a  certain  amout  of  work  into  it;  and  i 
insist  on  being  sent  a  set  of  proc^Ts  to  read  before  the  book 
appear s«  bimply  give  the  i^rinceton  rress  my  ir-aris  address  and 
have  them  ship  the  proof  s  to  me  here  when  they  start  arrivingo 

Right  now,  1  am  writing  in  the  midst  of  a  certain  amount 
of  calm  caused  by  the  fact  that  1  have  just  finished  ray  first 
piece  of  writing  in  t'aris  (a  long  article  on  hobert  irenn  ^varren, 
which  1  sent  off  yesteräay);  and  I  am  more  or  less  resting  on 
my  laurels#  My  failure  to  answer  you  sooner  was  caused  by  ^B^ 
my  intense  preoccupation  with  the  article,  which  I  had  determined 
to  finish  by  the  end  of  äanuary;  and  I  dDppped  everything  as  a 
result,  outside  of  the  necess^ry  demands  of  my  social  lire  here^ 
ünce  1  got  Started  the  article  went  very  rapidly,  proving  to  me 
something  that  1  had  always  Imown — that  when  1  really  have  the 
time  to  conc^rate,  my  writing  won't  have  to  take  as  depressingly 
long  to  compxete  as  in  the  past,  when  1  had  only  a  ©  uple  of  hours 
a  day  to  give  to  it,  and  even  those  hours  the  ones  after  my  Office 
hours*  Abyway,  I  still  have  a  feviphLngs   to  c  lear  up  before  I 
get  down  seriously  to  writing  on  FM/abert;  but  I  think  these  won't 
take  my  too  much  time# 


Like  everybody  eise,  i  have  now  fallen  completely  in  love 
with  i^aris  and  with  my  life  here,  and  the  thought  of  having  to 
go  back  again  next  year  simply  drives  me  wild;  i  can*t  bear  to 
think  of  it«  I'm  going  to  app2>y  for  a  renewal  of  my  grant,  whj^ich 
1  may  or  may  not  get,  and  if  this  doesn^t  v/ork  I'm  going  to  try 

and  find  some  sort  of  job  here  with  one  of  the  u»  S.  uovernment 
agencies«  rilgY^   now,  1  have  the  feeling  that  two  or  three  years 
here  is  preciäy  what  I  need  both  emotionally  and  Intellectual^, 
and  1  am  going  to  do  my  best  to  stay  here  if  1  cati. 

•  Intellectually,  1  find  Jraris  tremendously  stimulating, 
perhaps  not  so  much  directly,  for  anything  that^s  being  said 
or  written  here,  but  rather  because  of  the  general  atmosphere 
of  interest  in  intellectual  and  artistic  matters;  the  newspapers 
that  come  out  each  week  devoted  to  literature,  or  the  plastic 
arts,  or  music,  the  way  in  which  art  penetrates  right  down  to 
every  mook  and  cranny  of  i'arlsian  life«  1  don't  recall  v/hether, 
in  my  la  st  letter,  1  said  anything  in  particular  about  i^rench 
philo  so phical  life  as  l've  experienced  it  through  the  magazines 
and  particularly  at  the  Sorbonne:  but  l»ll  do  so  briefly  because 
1  think  David  may  be  interested  in  my  reactioxja  ^ 


Klght  now,  there  Is  a  tremendous  ne^l  Renaissance  going 
on  In  Rrance,  largely,  i  think.,  as  a  consquence  of  the  preoccup 
ation|with  i^xlstentiallsm  on  the  one  hand  and  iiim  irtNiii  luarxism  on 
the  other.  hegel  Is  the  soiirce  from  whlch,  after  all,  both  of 
these  currents  in  some  sense  depart;  and  in  remotafthting  the 
stream,  the  intellectual  explorers  have  been  gradually  lefl  to 
the  headv/aters  of  negel»  i*'or  another  thing,  there  is  also  a  re- 
action  against  the  i^eu-Kantianism  of  jorimschvig.,  et#  al,  which 
takes  the  form  of  accepting  Hegel«  s  crlticW  of  ivant— somewhat 
similar  to  the  üegel  Kenaissance  in  (iermaity  after  the  first 
World  war*  There  are  three  courses  on  hegel  being  offered  at 
the  Sorbonne — twc  by  Jean  hypp|>lite,  and  another/  in  tho  jjicole 
des  Hautes  Ktudes,  an  explication  de  texte  of  the  Philosophie 
des  Kechts*  Hyppolite  is  pretty  good,  but  rather  lacking  in 
incisiveness;  weil,  who  gives  the  öther  course  ^üiric  well;  is 
a  Cierman  who  has  attained  a  leading  place  in  i^rench  intollectual 
llfe  and  is  very  clever.  Do  you,  by  the  way,  know  anything  about 
hls  background?  1  sit  in  on  his  coiirse  from  tlme  to  time  which 
is  a  very  small  seminar*  i^ut   for  the  moment,  l*m  attempting  to 
read  Hegel«  s  i^hen*  des  Oelstes  v/ith  the  ald  of  iiyppolltes  comment-  C 
ary,  whlch  is  quite  a  thorough  work;  It  seems  to  derlve  most  of    0 
it «  s  leading  ideas  from  J^roner,  to  judge  from  the  footnotes#       •* 


I  presented  your  letter  to  jean  wähl  some  weeks  ago,  and 
have  also  gone  to  several  lectures  at  his  oolleg^  Jrhilosophique, 
une  such  lecture,  by  A#  J.  Ayer,  was  really  ^  disaster  for  JLogical  > 
i^ositlvlsm;  but  the  next  night  they  had  a  leading  Jt^l?ench  üjclsten-  ^ 
tialisfe,  (T-^orge  natallle,  who  -^^'^s  perhpn^  ^v^TL  worse«  ne  couldn't 
explain  why  he  should  spend  his  tlme  tal^ng  to  us,  slnce  the 
essence  of  hls  posltlon  was  that  silence  was  the  only  expresslon 
of  ultima -»jfcK  wisdom.  The  person  who  has  Inpressed  me  the  most 
is  laerleau-i^onty,  whom  i  have  hearjjdjiÄ^ew  times  at  the  oorbonne, 
ne  is  now  lecturlng  on  the  relatlons  of  ir'henomenology  and  XMqc- 
Fsychology,  and  seems  by  all  odds  the  cleverest,  as  well  as  the 
most  serious,  of  anybody  l«ve  run  across  here^  Wahl  invlted  me 


to  hls  home  for  an  evenlng  in  a  coußle  of  weeks,  and  various 
people  around  town  have  told  me  that,  in  conversatlon,»  he«s  said 
nlce  thlngs  about  me*  Well— i  have  you  to  thank  for  that:  not  so 
much  yoiu»  letter  as  your  Intellectual  guidance  and  examplei  so 
rar  as  jlstentiallsm  is  concerned,  »the  more  i  know  about  it  the 
less  1  think  it  makes  any  sense  inthe  contemporary  rrench  version 
and  the  more  1  agree  wlth  uavld«s  criticisms.  l  read  some  of  the 
essays  In  neidegger's  nolzwe^e  and  found  them  quite  unbearableM; 
J.  just  couldn«t  finlsh  the  essay  on  i^letzsche.  The  only  end  for 
heldegger«s  position,  it  seems  to  me,  is  a  klnd  of  faux  my stiel sme:^

Dearost   jjavid  and   Carola: 


You  can«t   imaglno   how  dellf^hted  X've  been  with  recoivins  your 
last   two   lettors*    I   read  the  German  one   ovor  and  over   agaln,    savor- 
ing  the    subtißlety  of  UÄvld»  s  expresslons  and  feeling  the   Interlor 
glow   of   a   child  v/lth  a  new  present   as   I   dld   so*    l've  really  missed 
hearing  from  you — the   only  people   in  the    States  whom  l«ve  acutely 
riii  ssed  not   havlng   enough  contact  v/lth;    but  your  long  lettor  more 
than  made  up   for   the  gap» 

I    should  like  nothing  better  than  to    stay  over  here  next  year, 
not   only  for   all   the  reasons  you  know   and  v/hich  are   obvious,    but 
also   because   i>ve  be  gan  a  delightful  liasion  v/ith  a   charming  Fiionch 
girl  ^f   Jewish  descent,   a  inathematician  and   student   of  iioyre»  s  by 
TFie"^ws5^vI  met  her  first   at  ttahl^s  College   Philo sophique)whi eh  has 
done   a   good  deal   to   heal    some  of   the  psychological    scars   incurred 
as   a  result   of   xtachel^s  psychoses«    i^ut  v/hether   it  will  be  posslble 
for  me   to    stay   i   dcn't   know.    Iviy  application  for  renewal   has  been 
turned  down;    but    just   this  morning  X  received  a  letter  froci  the 
university  of  uhicago   informing  me   that   1  could   probably    get   a   com- 
bined  uhicago-.-(ocke|^eller  grant    to    study  at  Chicago  next  year»    uf 
course  this  means   that    1    should  have  to  leave  i^'rance   and  go  to   Chi- 
cago;   so  you    see,    the   coi  plications  of   lifo  make  v/hat   one  most  de- 
sLres  at   one  moment — a   grant   to   chiij^cago,   v/hich   1    should  have    snatdned 
at    eagerly  before — not    precisely  undesirable   at   another  moment,   but 
at   least  less  desirable<» 

There  remains,    however,    one   other  hope.    I  have   asked  ioiopf  for 
an   advance  on  my  l'laubert  book,    submitting   a  lengthy  outline,    e^ruß 
introduction   and  Table   of  Contents;    there' s   a   Chance  that   the   advance 
will    come   through  because   they  wrote  me  they  v/ere   interested«    if  it 
does,    this. will  be   enough  for  me   to   live   on  here  next  year,    and  I 
can  ask  Chj^fl^o   to   hold   the  money  for  me  un,tll   the  year   after  next — 
sinco   1  want  to   get  v/hat   i«m  vvorklng  on  now  out   of   the  way»   This 
would  be  the   ideal  arrangement,    and  we'll    just  have   to  wait  and    see. 
m  any   event,    it   doesn't    seem  likely   that   IUI  have  to   go  back  to 
my   gilded   treadmill    las  uavid    so  wittily  put   it j    just  yet. 

i^'or  the    Summer,    I   am  going  to   the  mountains  near    Salzburg   ^I 
feil   in  love  with  Austria,   and  besides,    it«s   so   inexpensive  to  live 
there j    to    stay   at  what    1   have  been  told  is  a  lovely   (Gastwirtschaft 
v/ith   a  fine  view  of   an   old  Castle  and  located   on  a    small   lake,    There 
1   intend  to  rest  up    (1  was  ill  for   a  month  in  the  hospital  here  with 
jaundice,    though   am  now   quite  recoverod,    and  was  well   lookod  after 
both  by  my  nurses  and  by   üuiguite,   my  arin«  amiej,    get   a   lot   of   swimm- 
ing  and    sunshine,    do    some  roading  and  writing,    and  also   drop  dovm 
fror   time    to   time  for  the    Salzburg    serdnars  and  the  J^'estivali.    The 
head   of   the    sominars  is  a  young  professor,    a  f ellow-contributor  to 
the  Iludsof\  iieview  whose  work  iWe   found  vory  intelligent,    and  while 
we  haven't  met  we    've   exchanged   some  amiable  letters.    He  wants  me 
to  take  part   in  some   of  the    seminars,    and  it>ll  be  nice  not  to  be 
too   isolated.    I«m  also  hop^ing  that  Walter  will    join  me  for  at  least 
a  few  weeks    Ihe's  working  on  his   thesls  in  aesthetics  this   oumr.ier, 
Croce-Colli±nf^ood,    and  will    spend  most  of  his  time  near  _'t  ^^  .A^^^g^^

I  have    evor  liad* 

'i'he  Weekend  before  last,    iruirrulto  borrov/ed  Uie  famlly  car    van^ 
old   and  very   Iriposlng  l'Tench  make,    now   extinct   and.    In  her  model, 
quite  decrerit)    and  we  drove   dovm  to   Uhartros,    ölols  and  bourgos  over 
Pentefcost,    l'he  weather  here  has  beon  qulto  miserable   and   Sprlnr^  has 
been  vory   late   In  conincJ    but   that  weekend  the  heavens    siiilled  on  us 
and  all   the   other    i^ entetost   pilcrlms,    and   seelng  Chartres  and  i^ourgos 
was  a   creat   experlence.   1   don«t   thlnk  that   an  American  really  knows 
what    Christianity  is— -or  at   least,   what   it  was,    and  what   it  meant— 
unless  he    sees   the  {^reat   Uathodrals.    1  must   confess  that  v/hile   1 
have  no  more    sympathy  than  1   did  teofore   for   cur  romantic  medievalists, 
1   certalnly  can  understand  them  better;    and  perhaps  1  have   a  little 
m.ore   rospect    for   their   attltude  while  recognizing  it  s  intellectual 
(and  pollticalj    dangers.    terhaps   the  most  improssive   thing  was   that 
the  cathedrals  were  not   dead;    services  v/ere   going  on  as  we  v/alked 
through,    and   evon   i   could  feel    some  of   the   enchantment   of   the   com- 
bined   effect    of  the   stained  glass,    the   alternately  crescendo   and  dim- 
inuendo   sounds   of  the   organ,    and  the  muttered  prayers   of  tte    comj^un- 
icants.    how   this  must  have  worked  on  the  imggination  of    those  v/ho 
built   itl   And  hov;   it   must    still  v/ork  on  the  imag^tination  of   any  real 
Christiaa  i    I   hope   to   go   to   h.ont    3t.    i.iichel   this  weekend,    if   it    can 
possibly  be  arranged,    or   one   of    the   other    sigjitseeing    spots  not    too 
f ar  a   driv  o   from  Paris;    now  that   the  v/jjteather  has  turned  nice,   v/e 
want   totake   advantage   of  it. 

I   did  receive  the   Kaufmann   essay,    and  have  read   it  with  great 
intorest.    i  found   a   copy  of  his  book  on  lorck  von  ..artenburg  in 
Sivitzerland    (or  rather   the  issue   of   h\is?erl»s   Jahrbuch  in  which  it^s 
contained,    along  with  the    Vorlesungen  u.    d.    Phen#    des   Inneren  z^eit- 
bewusstseins  j ,    and  want   to  read  this  too;    l   shall  write  him  a  not  e 
after  doing    so»    Do  es  he    have   the  manuscript   of   the   Lann  book?    1    should 
-iiMW  to    see  it  myself ,    and  perhaps  might  mako    some   effort,    if  1   think 
it    at   all   possible,    to   bring  it   to  the   attention  of   some  American  lit- 
erary  people.    1  bought   a  copy  of   hxann»  s  new  novol   in   vlenna,   but  haven't 
had  time   to  read  it  jet.   i,iy  own  reading  has  nov;  narrowed  dovm  to 
books  for  my   next   article  on  literary   criticism,    but  l'm  also  mal^ing 
efforts  to   read   Jasper»  s   Vernunft  u«    iiixistenz   and  have  begun  the  L»og, 
Untersuchungen*    1  read  Ingardeij*  s  Literarische  xainstwerk,   whidi    is 
a  first-rate   book  and  which,    introducing  me   into    the   enchanted  v/orld 
of   phchomenological   concepb  s,    gave  me   tliO  Impulse  to   tackle   llusrerl 
himself»     I3ut    i   think  that  very  'soon  I    shall  return  to   my  iiant   and 
Hegel«    What   1  wouldn*t   give  to  not  have   to  write  for  a   couple  of 
years  and    just   read  everything  I   feel   1  needl   v;ell,    oach   time     1  pick 
up  a   book  of   philo sophy,    especially  in   ü-erman,    1   tliink  of  how  much 
I  owe   to  your  Inspiration,    example  and  wisdom.

Dearost  Javld  and  Carola: 


Here  are  the  rest  of  the  proofs  sont  me  by  the  trinceton 
Fresst  l  shan»t  repeat  v/hat  1  said  in  ny  last  letter  about  the 
book,  excopt  to  say  that  every  page  I  read  confirms  what  I  feit 
after  a  couple  of  pages— that  this  is  a  tromendously  important 
work,  and  will  haiö^e  a  great  impact  on  its  appearanco. 

In  reading  the  footnote  about  the  notes  on  the  Kechtsphilosoplio 
in  the  possession  of  the  late  Heinrich  Lev;>-  (I  picked  up  his  paraphlet 
on  the  iiegGl-.{enaissance  in  Vienna,  by  the'way),  I  thought  how  nice 
it  would  be  if  those  notes  could  be  published';  and  at  that  very 
moment,  in  my  room,  v/as  a  friend  of  mino,  \/ictor  üourevitch,  here 
on  a  grant  from  the  University  of  Chicago  and  v/orking  on  a  thesis 
on  ixOgel.  lie^^s  quite  a  bright  boy  (originally  fron  a  liussian  rQ|(Fug- 
ee  fanLly,  vrhleh   then  v/ent  to  (iermany,  then  to  i^ranco  and  the  united 
States;  his  mother  is  a  psychoanalyst,  by  the  v/ayj,  and  I  like  hlm 
very  muchf  in  any  case,  I  shov/ed  him  the  footnote  and  he  became  very 
int  -rested;  1  jDromised  i  v/ould  ask  you  if  it  v/ere  possible  to  get 
access  to  these  notes.  He  would,  if  possible,  like  to  publish  them 
either  along  with — or  in  conjunction  with — his  thesis  onco  it  gets 
done;  and  i  thinlv  if  this  could  be  arranged,  it  v/ould  be  a  good 
thing  all  round.  Victor  has  been  followlng  weil^s  course  in  the  i(echts' 
Philosophie  with  me  and  would  do  a  thorough  job  on  v/hatevor  scholarly 
work  had ^to  be  done.  uhat   do  you  tliink  of  the  idea? 

In  any  event,  thinking  about  the  posslbility  of  my  going  to 
Chicago  and  plunging  back  into  an  academic  miliep,  i  also  thought 
of  v/hat  you  once  told  me  about  other  liotho  material  that  had  been 
in  preparation  by  a  studpet/of  yours.  It  *s  not  impossible  that  the 
project  of  coit  inuing  thar  'thesis  might  appeal  to  me;  particularly 
since  I  plan  to  combine  the  study  (f  philo sophy  and  literature  at 
Chicago  ^esthetics).  it  would  be  nice  if  you  could  sit  down  for  a 
few  moment s  some  time  and  teil  me  a  little  more  about  the  material 
involved;  and  if,  as  i  remember,  it's  in  ijüngland,  perhaps  i  could 
arrange  to  get  it  before  going  back  to  the  ütates« 

1  just  received  a  iettor  from  ..alter  this  morning  saying  that 
he  had  given  up  the  idea  of  wrlting  a  thesis  at  Oxford,  and  was  shift- 
ing  his  degree  to  emphasize  political  theory  and  economic s.  ihey  re- 
jected  two  thesis  topics  he  suggested  as  not  "philo so phical'^  enough, 
and  wanted  him  to  v/rite  a  thesis  giving  his  own  theory  of  the  Imag- 
ination rather  than  a  historical  discussion  of  the  problem.s  as  he 
suggested.  i^ot  having  his  own  theory  he  thought  it  stupid  to  try  and 
invent  one,  and  decided  he'd  had  enough  of  logic  and  epistemology^ 
lie's  also  no\7  taftlng  about  going  to  Law  ochool  rather  than  continu- 
ing  with  the  idea  of  an  academic  career.  i  think  that  temperamentally 
he  needs  some  sort  of  practical  outlet--the  feeling  that  he^s  doing 
tliings|äBt  thot  have  some  immediate  meaning — and  ttiis  may  be  the  best 
thing.  L)VLt   we  shall  see,  in  any  case, 

Love,

da  das  Jahr  des    Erscheinens  n^cht  genau  fest  steht. 

In  der  Anmerkung  ueber  F.ashdall,der  fand, Bentham  "tnkes   into

stark  erhöhten  Preis  das     S  nicht  von  und  gekauft  werden  wird,   i«  ist 
deshalb  violleicht  noch  für  ^  280.00  bei  bemard    ,uarltch  Ltd.   iif^rafit

"The'Fr¥nch  Litersry  sstne",den  ich  eben  in  der    ^ull-August  lit,  der  Partisan 
Review, die  mir  die  Fishers  ausliehen, Glänzend  unabhängig, über  legen  und  abso- 
lut vorbildlich   in  der  Würdigung  wie  der  Kritik  europÄischer  Kultur!    Vieli 
leicht  das  Retfste   und   :elb8täiidigste,daB  ich  bishsr  von  Ihnen  Iss.    Ich 
zeigte  den  Fishers  gestern  den  Absatz  über  C.E.Megny.Oide  and  Henry  Jeme^ 
als  ein  '  «8**yf  ;'äU8terbeispiel  amerikanischer  Kritik  französischer  Kurzsich* 
tigk»it  und   französisohsh     berschwangs  an  kultursllem  Lokalpatriotismus. 
Diese   paar  Zeilen  allein  sind   -  "priB6less",wenn  ich  Ira  Targon  sprechen 
wollte. Aber  das  Ausgezeichnete  des  Essays  ist  es,  dass  er  vBllig  über  allem 
Jargon  steht. Das  Urteil  über  die  Verfahrenheit  des  "neuen"   Okkultismus 
könnte  nicht  uraslchtiger,gütifter  und  znmß^ioh  ironischer  gehalten  werden. 
Iwle  vertraut  sind  mir  diese  v^achen  aus  aer  Jüdischen    Lradltion,von  Baader 
nad  besonders  von  Cakar  Goldberg  her,   dessen  fer  Pentateuoh.ein  ^ahlengebäud 
ich  besitze, und  der, glaube    ich, Jetzt  noch  in  ^lew  York  lebt, nachdem  sein

Bitte   glauben  "^»ie  nioht  einen  ?;;oment,dass  dieser   Beginn  meines   ^riefs  eine 
oaptatio  beaevolentiaa  •   ist, um  Sie   in  Ihrer  radikalen  Kritik  meirs  s  Men- 
tha» umzustiiaüen.Ich  hätte   selbstverständlich  ganz  die   gleiche  Superlative 
«t»li»»»e*  gebraucht,  wenn  Sie   meine   Bentham  Analysen  weiter  #Blobt  hatten, 
tatsächlich  legen  Ihre  Uinwände  die   Axt  aa  die   Äurzel  meines  Buchs, Ich  glau- 
be aber  ernstlich  nicht, dass  die    Axt  den  Baum  d.heisst  iaauagardt  oder  i^en- 

them  f&llen  kann,  ^    ^j-'*'^  ,  .       -    v., 

Sie  beteaen:  wenn  Gefühlsintensitäten  nicht   in  exakten  ^ahlenwerten  und 
präzisen  Bruchteilen  von  Zahlen  gegeneinander  abgewogen  werden  können, dann 
kann  der  konsequente  liedonismus  ebensowenig  ein  Kriterium  zur  Verwerfung 
der  KBchtmorel  und  zur  Rechtfertigung  der  moxal  der  Güte   offerieren  wie   die 
Fxistenzialphilosophie   und  andere  « orallehren.  Deshalb  empfehlen  3le   mir  - 
um  die  Miedersehmetternde-  einsieht       etwas  zu  mildern  -  mich  mit  der  i'est- 
stellung  zu  bePintigen: nicht  die  h^thik, sondern  nur  die  i'ädagogik  könne   und 
solle  eben  Z'ir'BeiitBtigung  der  demokratischen  ..oral  der   Gerechtigkeit     und 
Güte   im  Gegensatz  zu  der  der  Grausamkeit   "führen".  Wenn  ich  heute   oder  bei 
der  »Tlederschrift  meines  Bi'chs   Je   geglaubt  hntte.dess  der  Hedonismus  so 
wenig  leisten  kSnne.dann  htte   ich  nie   e*  ausführlich  üentham  zu  Verteidiger 
gesucht  und   tHte   gewiss  besser  daran, die   Veröffentlichung  meines  dickea- 
Iclbigen    ''»rks»  noch    ^etzt  zu  verhindern.  ^^  -^^  , 

'Ich   glaube»    dem  ge^^niber  definitiv  gezeigt  zu  haoenfdie   intuitiven  Ab- 
schätzungen von  Gefühlsinteasitöten  reihen  völlig  üus.um  in  der  entscheide: 
den  ' Itf rnative'  acht  oder   ^erechtigkeitsmoral"   zu  zeigen, dass  die  üerrenmo- 
ral  nie   zur  "maximlzation  of  hap  iness"   "führen"   und  daher  nach  dem  Kriteriu. 
des  Hedonismus  nie  als  die  höhere  ;« oral  gelten  kann.  Denn,  wie   ich  z.B.   in 
dem  Aufsatz  aus  den  ^ hilosophisehen  Studien,   19^9,   an  drei  letalis  zu  bele- 
gen suchte, die   Tausaüceiiamoröl  produziert  zwar  euch  einlp»s  intensive 
Glück,   aber  notwendig  gerln^res,   sowohl  für  Ihre  Anstifter, deren  Sadismus 
doch  unstillbar  bleibt, u^ie   in  Ihren  Folgen  für  alle   ihre   Nutzniesaer     oder 
^ar  ihre  notwendig  besonders  zahlreichen  Opfer.  Die   Existenzialphilosophen 
absr.'^ant  und  die   .vertphilosophie  von  Uato  bis  1951  kann  kein  solches  Kri- 
terium für  die   Rechtfertigung  der  Gortchtigskeltsmoral  bieten. 

Löius  de   Bonald   sagt  einmal, In  Frankreich  gibt  es   nicht  nur  3  ^rade   der

der Oxfords   (der    auch  in  der  iloral  auf  absoluter  excessiver  uewlssheit  be- 
steht)  in  Osstalt  selbst  des  oxfordkritiochen  ..alter  infiziert  haben?  ich 
berufe  mich  dagegen  in  amrikanischem     atriotismus  auf  einen  solchen  erkennt-

28,  rue  de  Lille 
Paris.  7 
April  4,  1952 


Dearest  David  and  Carola :- 


Please  forgive  me  for  not  having  written  you  soonerj  I  can 
assure  you  it^s  not  because  I  haven't  thought  of  you  quite  often. 
I  hope  that  Carola  is  blooming  again,  and  that  no  ill  effects 
have  resulted  from  her  illness  last  year;  and  I  hope  David  is  still 
— I  am  sure  he  is^-the  same  intrepid  travailleur  that  I  know  so  well, 
v/hos  tireless  energy  and  joyful  interest  have  been  such  a  wonderful 
example  for  me# 

As  for  myself,  after  rnattors  were  quite  bad,  they  have  be  come 
quite  rood  again*  One  reason  I  didn't  write  was  because,  for  sev- 
eral  rnonths,  I  had  very  little  money  and  was  devoting  all  my  time 
to  writing  articles  and  book  revlows  to  make  some  doilars#  nowever, 
my  ijob  finally  came  through  two  months  agfo,  and  financially  things 
are  all  right  again;  though  now,  having  to  do  work,  I  lack  time  for 
my  Plaubert  book,  v/hich  I  have  actually,  after  all  these  years,  be- 
gun  to  write#  I  am.  about  half-way  through  the  first  chapter,  proceed- 
ing  wlth  an  ease  that  astoryäihes  me;  I  think  that  my  failure  to 
Start  the  book  earlier  was  mainly  psychological — tied  in  with  all 
the  dif ficulties  of  my  life  at  that  time,  which  you  knov;  only  too 
well#  It  «»  took  me  about  a  year  to  throv/  off  the  bürden  of  all 
those  memories;  now  I  feel  ready  to  do  my  work,  and  feel  «bmMMmjl 
confident  that  it  will  go  well.  Also,  the  Immersion  in  the  French 
literar:^  atmosphere  has  given  me  a  feel  for  the  material  I  didn't- 
and  couidn't--have  had  before» 

It's  very  likely  that  I  shall  be  coming  home  in  the  Fall,  If 
the  grant  for  Chicago  comes  through.  They  aro  interested  in  me  ag- 
ain; the  nockef eller  Foundation  man  ^D^Arms)  gave  me  to  under stand 
last  Fall  that  fftvorable  action  would  be  taken  this  Spring;  so  I«m 
waiting  to  get  the  final  word.  If  by  some  accident  the  grant  doesn't 
come  through,  i  shall  probably  go  to  some  cheaper  country  (Austria 
or  Italy)  live  as  long  as  I  can  on  the  money  I  have  and  keep  writ- 
in.^  the  book.  During  this  sioramer,  i  expect  to  settle  somewhere  on 
the  Italian  Riviera  in  a  little  fishing  village  near  Genoa  and 
write  there;  if  I  return  to  the  U.  6i   with  a  hundred  pages  of  man|^- 
seript,  I  shall  consider  myself  doing  well.  Fftrolaably,  at  Chicago, 
I  shall  have  to  work  on  other  material,  but  I  want  to  be  far  enough 
along  in  the  book  so  I  can  take  it  up  at  any  time  without  having 
to  re-think  it  all  over  again. 

This  will  have  to  be  a  short  note,  ending  at  this  page,  because 
in  a  few  hours  I  am  leaving  with  some  friends  in  an  auto  for  ^^^/o  » 
weeks  in  Spain  over  ulaster.  Of  course  this  makes  me  think  of  x^achei; 
I  should  like  nothinp  better  than  to  have  the  poor  girl  along  with 
me.  V/hat  has  become  of  herV  She  has  not  answered  my  letters,  the 
Parkes«  s  know  nothing,  nor  do  I.  And  what  hadbecome  of  the  Bentham 
book?  I  have  been  awaitlng  a  copy  any  day,  Please  wBiteme  a  long 
letter— and  all  my  love  to  you  both,  my  best  and  dearest  friends.

Dearest  Äavid:- 

Before  anythlng  eise— congratiiWiationsl 
I  have  heard  that  a  glrl  I  know  here,  who 
ia  workin?  on  ßentham,  has  received  a  copy 
of  your  book.  It  is  flnally  out;  and  I  an 
waiting  for  iny  copy  wlth  icipatlence. 

Many  thanks  for  your  wonderful  letter. 
I  hope  that  i  deserve  all  tliat;  x  sliall  try 
to,  at  any  rate. 

If  all  goes  well,  I  think  that  I  may 
have  round  what  I«in  looklng  for  in  Chicago, 
but  these  flrst  few  months  almost  all  my 
tlme  has  been  d  evoted  to  Ä^^^dylng  f  or  exam- 
inations  that  I  have  to  tljäe— in  th®  phy- 
slcal  and  blological  scleij^s,  as  wjll  as 
In  mathematicsl  You  can  fnagine  ho\^happy 
this  made  me;  but  since  lt»s  only  ur,  untll 
Dec.  9  and  10  (when  I  take  the^ests)  I  de- 
cided  to  go  through  with  lt.  Ifs  all  been 
a  stupid  waste  of  tlme  (perhaps  not-- since 
I  am  learnlng  somethlng  about  the  sclences, 
but  I  don't  Intend  to  be  Leonardo  Da  Vinci 
and  would  llke  to  get  on  with  W  «wn  v/orkj. 
AnvwaY,  i've  studied  as  well  as  I  ODUld, 
s?S?ing  from  nothing,  and  shall  seo  how  I 
do;  if  I  have  to  take  any  more  nonsense 
after  this,  I»ll  j^st  write  my  Plaubert 
book  and  nJt  bother  wlth  these  P«ople.  All 
this  Kopfzerbrechen  is  the  reason  I  haven't 
v/ritten  before« 

You» 11  be  hearing  from  me  soon  agaln. 
I«m  returning  the  excellent  paper  with  a 
few  corrections.

my  prevlous  readings  may  ex?.:^se  me  from  that 
I  dld  read  the  mlddle   section  on  the   "Intro-

objected«    I  could  find  nothing  to  object  to 
now,    and  I  am  more  than  ever  convlnced  that 
the  book  is  truly  an  epoc^-making  work# 

I  have  already  wrltten  to   "Partisan 
Review"   calling  their  attention  to  the  book« 
I  am  going  to  v/rite,    in  a  day  or   so,   to 
the   "Hudson  Review"   recomriending  that  V/alter 
do  an  article  on  the  book;    and  I   shall   also 
try  to  make   "Kenyon  Review"   aware  of  Its  ex- 
istence« 

I   spent  last  weekend  at  the  hone  of 
KLlseo  Vivas,  who   I  believe  you  met  in 
Washington*   He  is   Professor  of  Et  hl  es  and 
Moral  Philo  so phy  at  Northwestern,    and,  what- 
ever  his  limitations,    a  man  with  real   ph- 
ilo sophlcal  int er e st s»    I  took  the   "Bentham" 
along  with  me,    and  the  result  is  that  he  is 
going  to  give  a  seminar  on  the  book  next

that   I  have  wrltten  the  review,    and  I  hope

archaeolo~ist  but   a  con:'iOisso\ir  of  Rilke.   I   find  all  these  fascinatlng, 
but  I  think  that   personally   I  feol  nost   attractoö  to   Plato  and  Rilke; 
I   can't    stop  readins  the  forrner,   althou^h  I've  had  to  do    so    tenporarily 
because  of  the   press  cf  other  work,    and  have   gone  back  to    studying 
Greek   (thou^h  not,    I'r.  afraid,   ver;-   systoratically)    in  the  hope^that 
I  nay  learn  enough  sone  day  to   ret'into  this  arazing  v;orld  cf  fifth- 
century  Athens. 

Despite  ny   studies,    I've  tried  also  to  make   sor.e   procross  on 
riy  Flaubort  and  an  hap.y  to  report  tliat  l'n  alr.ost  at   the  end^of  the 
second  chriDter    (v;hlch  is  only  the  be^inninc,   but   -t   loa  st   it   is  a 
be^inning),      I   find  that,   becai^se   of  the  haphazard  way  I've  had  to 
work  at   it    (startinr  in  Paris,   where    sor.e  of  the  raterial  wasn't  at 
hand),    I've  \":ritten'the  chapters  in  an   ir.posrible  form  and  h- ve  to 
reor^'anize  themj   but   at   least  I  nov;  have  about  fifty   pages  of  mt- 
erirl   and  tho  book  is  nore   than  a  nice   idea  in  the  back  of  rny  head.

Since  I  mention  next  year,    I  Imow  you' 11  be  cvorjoyed  to  hear

Dear  David:-  • 

I  feei  terrlbly  guilty  at  not  having 
written  you  sooner  to  thank.you  for  having 
sent  me   another  copy  of  DER  KAMPF  UM  DEN 
LEBENSSIM,  and  also  to  givo  you  some  news 
of  raysolf .  I  hopo  yoair«'V/ell  and  for  ging 
ahead  on  your  THEORIE  DES  LEüEJSSSIimS,  whoso 
continuation  I  am  anxiously  waiting  for, 

Thö  suramor  was  a  protty  hoctic  ono  for 
me,  though  an  unforgottable  ©xperienc«.  Paris 
was  wondorful  as  usual,  though  I  didnlt  get 
to  spend  half  as  much  time  ther^  as  I  woiild 
have  llked,  I  had  to  pay  for  the  cost  of  th© 
trip  by  writing  articles  and  book  reviews, 
and,  in  spit©  of  travoling  around,  I  kopt 
up  a  steady  grind  of  writing.  Guiguit©  and 
I  had  th©  US©  of  her  mother»  s  car  in  Eur  opo 
and  w©  w©nt  first  to  St»  Joan-d©-Luz  on  th© 
Badqu©  coast  which  we  didn't  like  at  all. 
So  we  drov©  across  South©rn  Prance,  stopping 
at  all  the  wondorful  (not  all,  but  th©  most 
importantl)  riomanesquo  church©3,  and  at  th© 
cavas  ^t  Lascaux  where  w©  sam<t  the  cav©- 
paintings.  This  was  an  vinforgottable  ac3;7©n- 
turo;  I  wish  now,  thinking  back  on  it,  that 
I  had*  mad©  some  attempt  to  write  down  my 
impressions  and  porhaps  writ©  an  articl© 
about  iti.  But  I  hop©  to  go  back,  and  then 
I«ll  do  so,  To  3©©  these  ©vid©ncios  of  man 
3tretching  back  so  many  millenniupis  was 
deeply  moving— I  don»t  know  why;  ©ven  mor© 
onoving  than  ovid©nces  of  high  civllization. 
Prom  what  knows  about  the  Greeks  and  Rom- 
ans, it»s  not  surprising  that  they  l©ft 
what  they  dldj.but  that  cav©-m©n  should  hav©

Gulguite  and  I  are  very  coinfort£bly 
settled  in  Chicago  for  this  year,    and  it 
looks  like  I   shall  b©  at   Princeton  next 
yoar.   I  warvt   to  postpone   it  for  tho  yoar 
aftor  nöxt,   bocanso   I   can  get   another  y«nr 
otit  of  Chicago J   but   I  think  Princeton  won«t 
waityi,    and   since   thoy  off  er  more  money,    I'll 
have  to   go  there.   This  moans  I    shall  hav© 
to  lecture,  which  of  course  I've  never  done, 
but  I'm  going  to  have  a  crack  at  it  no  less« 

I've  been   studying  Spinoza  quite   inten- 
sively  these  last  few  weeks,   and  thinking 
how  wonderful-  it  would  bo  if  you  were  here 
to  Chat. with  me  and  unlock  sone  of  the  acc- 
xiimrlatoÄirea*ire  of  your  philo  sophic^al  wis- 
dora.   But  I«n  hoping  I  may  b©  able-  to   com© 
East  over  Chriis^inas,   and   se©  you  then, 

f     The  oToat  man  in  Chicago  is  Lew   Strauss, 
whom  I  hav«n't  met  y©t   and  probabiy  won't 
bocause  he^s  too  taken  up  with  adoring  llttle 
disciples.   I   think  he's  terribly  overratod  as 
a  thinker,   from  what  I've  read  of  his  and 
heard,    though  of  course  a  competent  histor- 
ian;    but   tho    ndulation  h©   gets  here    simply 
Shows  onc©  again  what  a  lack  th©re  is  on  the 
American  philosophical    scen©.

I  can't  te   1  jou  liow  deli-hted   I  was  to  recelve   your  note,    ^

earlier,    at   least  once   the  exanis  are    off  ny   Shoulders,    I'll  feel

Dear  David:- 

«  « 

Fleaae  forglve  me  for  not  having  ans- 
wered  sooner  and  retxirned  your  manuscript. 
As  you  know,  It  is  always  a  pleasmre  for  mo 
to  read  anythlng  you  writöj  and  to  edit  a 
manuscript  glves  one  a  good  chance  to  read 
it  carefully» 

The  last  f ew  woeks  have  been  quite  hec- 
tic  in  a  stränge  way.  After  my  examinations 
(which,  by  tho  way,  I  passed  successfully) , 
I  was  quite  tlred  and  cioody  and  did  very 
little.  But  I  had  to  give  a  lecture  on  May 
19 (last  night)  and  did  some  work  for  that, 
as  well  as  worried  about  the  problem  of  my 
speech  not  only  for  thls  lecture  but  at 
Princeton.  However,  I  gave  my  lecture^ last 
niffht  and  it  seemed  to  go  pretty  weil,  i 
thlnk  with  some  practice  that  iQcturmg  won»t 
be  too  difficult  for  me,  thoughV  the  problem 
of  quotation  remains— i.e,,  I  can  talk,  but 
to  read  a  quotation  is  l^fzardous  for  me,  I 
canU  be  sure  I  won't  get  badly  stuck,  But 
this  isn»t  insuperable,  and  the  success  ol 
last  nSht's  lecture  cheered  i^  up  consid- 
erably«  >    . 

So  far  as  ray  Princeton  lecture sarecon- 
cerned.  I  have  decidod  to  give  them  on  The 
mÄialist  Kovel,  and  have  ^^^J^^l^f 
oS  that;  I  think  this  will  be  more  fruitful 
?han  any  theoretical  lectures  I  could  give 
on  criticism,  which— entre  nous--is  Pretty 
arid  stuff.  After  poking  around  in  some  of 
?he  materiala  I  ^vas  thinking  of  working  on 
for  rav  thesis,  I  decided  that  it  really 
wasn't  rieh  enough  for  ne  to  put  that  amounfe 
of  work  in  it.  And  so  I've  begun  Jo^^^JJ^l^" 
ain  about  an  cid  love  of  mine-a  hiotorical

iTiuch  raore,  and  will  give  me  a  chance  to  learn 
something;  the  New  Critics  are,  after  all, 
rathor  feeble  fellow». 

In  any  case,  I  noy/have  my  work  out  out 
for  me  in  the  future,  aW  I«ve  decided  not 
to  write  any  more  articles  or  reviews  (or 
at  least  very  few  of  them)  and  to  thinK  in 
terms  of  books.  I'm  reaching  the  age  where 
I  have  to  have  my  nane  attached  to  something 
in  hard  covers. 

Guiguite  got  a  lotter  the  other  day  bring- 
ing  very  good  news— she  has  a  research  assls- 
tantsliip  in  the  trinceton  Math.  Dept.,  the  first 
woman  ever  to  be  appointed  there.  This  is  a 
considerablf  honor,  and,  without  knowlng  any- 
thing  about  it,  I»m  sure  she  Jeserves  it.  ner 
new  algebraiTi^^^discovery  is  going  to  be  in  an 
article  in  the  next  issue  of  the  Proceedin^s 
of  the  Amer.  ^Tath,  Society,  and  the  people  at 
Chicago  are  all  quite  pleased. 

■  Please  let  me  know  what  your  summer  plans 
are,  and  if  you  are  going  to  be  in  New  England 
rest  assured  that  I  shall  be  popping  up  for  a

Dearost  David :- 

I  can  t  teil  yoti  how  shocl'ed  and  horrified  I  was  at  the 
news  In  your  last  letter.  V/hat  a  way  to  reward  all  your  years 
of  falthful  servlöe  at  the  Libraryl  I  had  read  vaguely  in  the 
newspapers  about  substantlal  cuts  in  the  Library  appropriations, 
and  had  wondered  if  this  woixld  afrect  you;  but  I  dismissod  the 
thought  from  ny  mind  as  impossible« 

I  need  not  teil  you,  who  have  already  gone  through  so  much 
so  nobly  and  courageously,  not  to  be  too  depressed  and  discouraged 
by  the  blow,  There  is  too  mach  for  you  to  dö — too  much  that  is 
important  not  only  for  you  but  for  all  of  us  v/ho  admire  you  and 
love  you—to  spend  valuable  time  in  vain  regrets»  I  know  all  too 
well  how  inevitable  such  regrets  are.  God  knows  I  have  spent  «n- 
ough  of  my  own  time  eating  out  my  hoart,  but  in  the  end  it  never 
really  does  one  any  good.  And  perhaps  now  a  complete  change  of 
ambiance  will  do  you  much  good,  and  help  you  to  forget  what  1  know 
itiust  be  ever^-present  in  your  nind  in  Viashington:  all  thoso 
irreplaceable  years  with  Carola» 

Have  you  been  able  to  make  any  plans  yet  for  next  year?  I 
think  the  time  has  come  to  move  swiftly,  nnd  would  vory  much 
like  to  be  keüt  informed  of  what  you're  thinking  in  this  regard. 
I  received  a  note  from  Ernst  Sternglass  this  m.orning,  wl.o  wonders 
about  the  Institute  at  trinceton.  Is  this  at  all  possible?  I  should 
imafeine  that  Einstein  would  be  only  too  happy  see  what  he  could 
do  about  getting  you  a  year»s  appontment  there;  and  this  would 
not  only  be  wonderful  for  us— having  you  so  close— but  would  also 
n-ive  you  a  little  chance  to  look  around  and  g<ät  your  ^earings. 
And  how  about  the  Kew  School?  I  was  also  thinking  of  Bard  College 
up  along  the  Hudson,  where  I  h  ve  been  told  that  Hannah  Arendt' s 
husband,  Heinrich  Bluecher,  now  has  enormousinfluence.  This  is 

a  vory  small  but  most  sympathetic  pl»ace,  and  I  f^^'^^^^r^^n,  th^n 
should  be  overlooked.  But  perhaps  you  h^ve  much  better  laeas  than 
?hese  al?eady,  and  I  should  ver;;  mach  like  to  hear  aoout  them. 

Prom  the  way  things  look  now,  Itm  not  at  all  ^^^^^^l^^-J'n'^thot 
,hall  be  able  to  get  to  Newfiampshire;  but  you  can  be  certain  th<.t 
f  Sali  t?y  Vutmost  to  do'^so.  I  l^ve  begun  to  work  on  my  lect- 
ureV  for  Jrinceton,  and  have  chosen  for  my  theme  a  lj^°,°^„,^if 
•^^Lil^t  wrlters  bepinning  with  Dostoevsky.  I  plan  to  disnusse 
?v  wil^Llin^  Sil  iSctures,  and  this  involves  a  vast  amount 

on  how  much  progress  I  manage  to  make. 

Please  let  me  hear  from  you  immediately  J'^^^^.^^^^^^f  ^1°^' 

Is  always  Parkes  at  W.   But  let  me  know  your

Dear  David:- 

The  other  evenlng,  whlle  iinpacking  the 
books  I  took  back  from  Washlngto$i,  I  came 
across  an  item  it^  about  Hermami  Broch  that 
set  me  thinkinß  aoout  your  present  Situation^ 
Broch  re^ceived  a  grant  from  the  Rockefeller 
Foundation  to  do  pjjiilosophical  rosearch  on 
his  own  in  Princeton.  And  this  reinlndftd  me  of 
ny  own  dealings  with  Riockefeller  that  may 
•  help  you« 

Rockefeller  is  not  interested  in  help- 
ing  individuals,  at. „east  officially«  So  far 
as  I  was  (xoncerned,  they  could  do  nothing  for 
me  Toersonally  despite  a  wish  to  do  so#  But, 
once  the  University  of  Chicago  asked  for  a 
grant  to  enable  me  to  do  research,  they  could 
award  it#  The  grant  v/ent  to  Chicago  for  me; 
it  was  a  personal  grant  but  given— off icially — 
to  tiBHH^i  the  University*  This  is  what  kap.ened 
vfith  Broch:  somebody  in  Frinceton  asked  for  a 
grant  for  him,  and  he  had  no  obligations  to 
the  University  thipDugh  he  got  the  monoy  through 

it^ 

llow,  the  thing  for  some  of  your  friends 
in  a  university  to  do  is  to  ask  Rockefeller 
for  a  grant  to  allow  you  to  come  to  the  un- 
iversity and  pursue  your  researches  in  Co- 
operation with  their  philo sophy  departmont« 
Kot  for  a  grant  for  youj  but  for  a  ryant  to 
the  university  for  jo\x.   Thus  the  grant  could 
then  be  listed  as  a  gj^ant  to  an  Institution 
and  you  wauld  stand  a  much  greater  chance  of 
gett'ing  it*  It«s  worth  talking  over  with  people 
like  T#  V*  Smith,  Kason  and  others  in  top  un- 
iversity posts*

sounds  rarivellous.    If  it   could  only  v;ork 
outi    One  nover  kno\7s  with  theso  daranod 
foundations,    of  course,   but   do  let  ne  Imow 
im-^ediately  about   the   Situation  as   soon  as 
sone   actiontls   started.    I  know    sone   people 
in  Princetoh  quite  well  who   aro  well   conn- 
ected ^7ith  Rockefeiler,    and  there's  no  harn 
in  asking  thon  to  back  you  up.   lo's  v;ortti 
a  try  at   any  rato, 

Wbat   are  your   plans  otherwise?  You «11 
be   glad  to  Imow  that  I'm  going  to  bo  in 
Princeton  for  anobher  year— with  a   F  r^-

pay  vir^i  rauch  but   it  will  leave  no  time 
for  ny  own  Y/orkand  it's  my  entrance  into

Dearest  David :- 

Many  thaii(^  for  the  Baader,  v/hlch  I 
am  very  happy  to  have,  and  also  for  the 
manu Script  pages*  They  look  extremely  int- 
eresting,  and  I  shall  get  down  to  reading 
them  carofully  in  the  next  few  days» 

^  know  how  you  feel  about  Columbia, 
but  can^t  help  thinking,  nonetheless,  that 
it  will  be  good  for  you  to  make  contact 
with  Student s  again,  and  fchat  your  stat^s 
at  Columbia  may  lead  next  year  to  the  klnd 
of  grant  you  want»  In  any  case,  your  lec- 
tures  will  give  you  the  chance  to  put  your 
material  on  the  mystics  in  publishable 
form  in  ßnglish,  and  if  I  can  do  any t hing 
to  help  along  those  xines,  of  course  you 
know  I  shall  be  only  too  delighted  to  do 
so* 

I  don  t  know  if  you  read  in  the  papers 
that  I  received  a  Guggenheim  award  thls 
year»  It  was  very  unexpected;  I  applied  only 
with  the  feeling  that  I  had  nothing  to  lose« 
However,  I^m  not  going  to  take  the  grant 
for  next  year  because  I  want  to  teach  here 
and  get  some  experience;  the  year  after 
that  will  be  f^ne,  and  I  think  one  can  post- 
pone  these  thÄlngs  without  too  much  troublec 

We^re  sailing  for  Burope  on  June  4# 
l/i/hat  are  your  plans,  and  will  you  be  reach- 
able  at  all  from  i^ew  York  around  the  end 
of  thls  month*  If  so,  perhaps  we  can  get

Dearest   David:- 

Flease  fcrgive  my   silence  up  to  nov;, 
and  my  failure  tc  return  your  nanuscripts« 
I've  been  quite  taken  up  v;ith  the   prob-  <A^ 

ler.s  involved  in  bepinning  to   teachf    and 
at   the   sare  time   I  have  been  Fiaking  des- 
perate  efforts  to   finish  up  some  ods  and 
ends   so   that   -^  can    start  on  iny  bo6k# 
Things  are  beginning  to   core   along  now 
very  well,    though*   You'll   be  pleased  to 
know  thrt   I   enjoy  teaching  very  mich,    and 
that   it  *  s  befun  to  be  protty  inuch  routine 
now#   Of   course  I  don't    give  any   course 
nyseir,    and   sir.ply  have   to    keep  up  with 
the  material   assigned  the    stu  ents;   but 
I  find  rrj  little    seminar    (once   a  ^eek) 
great   fun,    and  I  think  the   stuckt s  are 
also   enjoying  thenselves» 

It  was  a  great  pleasJire   to  be  able 
to  read  your  nanuscripts,    and  to  know 
that   the  people   at    Coluüibia  will   get    sor.e 
of  the  intellectual  benefits   that   IWe 
enjoyed  over   the  yeaJts  with  you.   The  lect- 
ures  are    ruperb,    and  I  hope  they  realize 
exactly  what   they^re   getting.   For   my  ovm 
purposes,   with  rej^tion  to  Kafka,    I  was 
especially  intere^sted  by  what  you    said 
with  regard  to  the    characterization  s^ 
of  God  by   scurrilous  epithets*    I'lljhave 
to   get    some  moreanformation  out   of  you 
on  this   polnt» 

I  hope  the  manuscript  reaches  yoii

Paris.  15 
France 

lioY.   19,  1956 


Dearest  David :- 


Please  forgive  me  for  not  having  answered 
your  letter  sooner.  As  you  know,  I  salled  for 
France  in  late  jhm*  September,  and  have  really 
not  been  able  to'  get  very  vjell  organized  since 
arriving  here.  Lifo  here,  it  must  be  confessed, 
is  not  very  confortable;  and  since  what  I  want 
to  do  now  essentially  is  concentrate  and  v;ork, 
rather  than  enjoy  the  amenities  of  Parisian 
life,  the  Inck  of  convenience  in  living  arrange- 
ments  is  a  constant  source  of  irritation  to  me. 
Morßlever,  on  top  of  this,  the  events  of  the  last 
fevj  weeks  have  occupied  almost  all  my  time  and 
attention;  and  for  a  moment  I  was  on  the  point 
of  going  back  because  I  thought  th?t  the  new 
war  was  definitely  in  the  offing. 

Kowever,  IWe  been  doing  the  best  I  can 
and  malcing  some  progress  on  my  Dostoevsky  book. 
I  read  a  few  pages  of  Russian  every  day  in  a 
very  good  Russian  study  of  Dostoevsky,  and 
though  this  usually  takes  me  a  couple  of  hours, 
I  hope  that  in  several  months  I  shall  be  able 
to  read  fluently  enough  to  allow  me  to  consult 
the  necessary  secondary  literature  and  to  have 
Aaccess  to  some  texts  of  his  that  Lav^  not  been 
translated.  I'm  working  now  on  a  elfter  on  I^ot 
from  TJndorp.round,  v/hich  of  course,  as  you  know, 
is  a  fascinating  work,  and  v/hich  I  have  worked 
out  in  a  way  that  seems  to  me  quite  original. 
Most  of  ^-^hat  has  been  VvTitten  about  it  seems  to 
me  to  be  nonsense;  but  I»m  not  yet  absolutely 
convinced  frt  the  justice  of  my  ovjn  interpreta- 
tion.  Any>4y,  as  IWe  learned,  the  main  thlng 
is  to  Iceefp   £;oing  and  at  least  get  a  first  draft. 

There^are  all  kinds  of  things  I  should  love 
to  talk  to  you  about  if  v/e  were  within  reach- 
able  distance  of  each  other.  Oddly  enough,  my 
work  on  Dostoevslqr,  ^^   I  ^^y  have  mentioned  to 
you,  has  led  me  to  think  a  bit  more  about  the 
Problems  of  Utilitarianism.  You  know,  of  course. 


es 


** 


I 


t 


/ 


that  Utllitarianism  was  all  the  rage  in  Russla 
in  the  lO^O^s,  and  that  It  v;as  the  basls  of  the 
philo sophy  of  Chernyshevsky.  A  good  deal  of  Dost- 
oevsky  only  makes  sense  v/hen  you  undor stand  that 
by  "Beason"  and  "scienco"  ha^really  meahs  some 
of  the  extremely  crude  conc^lusions  of  the  Russ- 
ian  ütilitarians.  Studying  them  has  focused  my 
attention  particularly  on  the  problem  of  making 
Utilitarianism  an  active  social  ethic.  This  pro- 
blem comes  out  strongly  in  Chernyshevsky  be cause 
tje  combined  Utilitarianism  vdth  Utopian  Social- 
ism;  and  the  contradiction  betv/een  the  tvio  some- 
times  takes  on  glaring  and  ludicrous  proportions 
in  his  writing, 

Studying  the  Rusiian  intellectua^.  context 
also  has  ^dm%   brought  me  into  contact  mämm,   with 
Post-Hego^lian  German  thought.  And  since  I  don^t 
have  much  material  here  with  me,  I'd  like  to  ask 
you  to  vjhat  extent--so  far  as  you  laiow--Peuer- 
bach  can  be  said  to  have  developed  a  philosophy 
of  egoism?  Chernyshevsky  was  greatly  influenced 
by  Smmmimmk   Feuerbach,  then  by  the  Engllsh  Util- 
itarians  (probably  directly  b^  Bentham),  To  v/hat 
extent  wouldjPeuerbach  have  made  him  already  re- 
ceptive  to  Utilitarianism?  IM  be  very  much  int- 
erested  to  hear  what  you  had  to  say  bbout  th^i 


s. 


There^s  nothing  much  more  for  me  to  say, 
except  that  I^m  vjorking  quite  hard  and  hope  to 
continue.  I»ve  really  reached  the  stage  in  life 
where  I  think  it ' s  time  for  me  to  do  something 
with  envergrure,  and  it's  now  or  never. 

Our  fondest  regards  to  Rose,  our  congrat- 
ulations,  and  my  particular  hopes  that  your  v;ork 
is  progressing  smoothly*  Nothing  could  be  more 
important  now,  I  think,  than  your  books 

With  deep  affection.

Paris.  13 
April  25,  1957 


Deareist  David:- 

Please  forgive  me  for  not  hpving  written  to  you  sooner.  It's 
nlways  very  difficult  for  me  to  write  letters  when  I  ^m  vjorklng  in- 
tenslvely  on  somethincand  these  last  few  months  have  been  filled 
with  very  intensive  work  on  my  Dostoevsky  bock.  In  addition--!  don*t 
know  if  youWe  yet  received  cur  announcement--(>"uiguite  and  1  have 
become  the  proudi^arents  of  a  little  girl,  Claudine,  who  appears  to 
be  flourishing  lustily  and  of  whom,  of  course,  we  are  very  proud. 
All  this**productive^  activity,  as  you  can  well  imagine,  has  taken 
up  a  good  deal  of  time;  biit  my  conscience  won't  allow  me  to  keep 
sllent  any  longer,  and  I  feit  that  1  just  had  to  write  to  you  at 
last. 

There^s  not  much  to  say  about  Claudine,  excert  that  she  arr- 
ived  without  too  much  troubie,  and  that  everything  has  been  org- 
anized  so  that  her  presence  is  not  too  disturbing  and  time-con- 
suming.  We  were  very  luckyftt  to  get  a  nice  German  girl  from  Ulm 
(her  father  is  a  baby-doctorO'  who  wants  to  study  Prench  and  live 
in  Paris,  and  who  lives  with  us  and  takes  the  load  of  looking  after 
the  baby  off  the  Shoulders  of  Ouiguit^  All  the  gadgets  in  tho 
World  can«t  Substitute  for  this  kind  of  help. 

TIb  re  is  a  good  deal  more  to  say  about  my  Dostoevsky,  but 
I«m  afraid  I  don't  have  space  for  it  all.  I've  written  about  two 
hundred  pages  so  far  and  am  now  aa  gaged  in  a  chapter  on  The  Idiot 
(really  a  stränge  book).  I  admit,  quite  unabashedly,  that  I  am 
very  pleased  x>jith  a  good  deal  of  what  I*ve  written  so  far  (part- 
icularly  my  analysis  of  Notes  from  Underground  and  Crime  and  Pun- 
idiment),  both  of  which  turn  into  something  quite  different  from 
what's  usually  thought  about  them  in  my  treatment.  Notes  from 
Undergro-und  in  ^articular,  I  am  convinced,  has  le  en  complfctely  mis- 
understood;  in  the  West  because  of  ignorance  of  the  Russian  cult- 
ural  context,  and  by  Russian  critics  because,  X'^/hether  they  were  for 
or  against  Dostoevsky,  it  was  impossible  for  them  to  analyze  the 
work  impartially.  The  notion  that  Dostoefsky  was  preaching  some  kind 
of  absolute  irrationality  is  complete  nonsense;  and  the  secret  of 
the  Underground  man  is  that  he  accepts  totally,  and  without  any 
modification,  the  deterministic  materialism  so  populär  around  that 
time  in  Western  (and  i^ussian)  thought.  The  Underground  man  sees  him- 
self  as  morally  impotent  because,  as  a  follower  of  Peuerbach,  etc., 
he  believes  he  is  controlled  only  by  the  laws  of  nature;  but  as  a 
human  being,  emotionally,  he  cannot  accept  this,  and  so  the  only 
way  of  expressing  his  humanity  is  by  a  self-torture  that  at  least 
affirms  his  refusal  to  be  turned  into  a  mechanism.  The  novella 
is  really  a  magnificent  dramatization  of  a  philo sonhical  theme,  one 
of  the  greatest  things  of  its  kind  since  Plato  and  Kierkegaard. 
I»ve  workid  the  whole  thing  out  very  carefully,  and  I»m  convinced 
I«m  right;  in  any  case,  this  Interpretation  will  set  a  lot  of  people 
thinking. 

All  my  work  in  this  Russian  atmosphere  has  stimulated  my  cur- 


\ 


'\ 


\

I 


iosity  enormously,  and  M  of  course  I  continue  to  read  as  much 
Russian  as  I  can  manage.  It^  still  goes  very  wslowly,  although  there 
is  no  longer  any  real  dlffntlculty--lt '  s  now  only  a  questlon  of  look- 
ing  up  the  vxords  in  most  cases.  The  more  I  learn  about  all  this,  the 
more  crueially  significant  it  seems  to  me  in  the  llght  of  what  we 
read  in  the  newspapers  about  Russia  every  day.  The  attitudes  of  the 
Russians  have  far  less  to  do  v;ith  Karl  Marx  or  Enge:|ls  (alraost  noth- 
ing at  all,  as  a  matter  of  fact)  and  far  more  with  people  like  Chern- 
yshevsky  and  Pisarev  about  whom  almost  nothing  in  known  in  the  West 
and  T'jho  still  form  the  staple  of  their  cultural  ideas  (now  more  than 
ever,  in  view  of  the  cultural  iron  curtain).  There  is  no  really 
solid  werk  on  Russiai  cultural  histoi^y  in  any  Western  language  ex- 
cept  that  of  Kasarykj  and  this  is  quite  scrappy  and  terribly  out  of 
date,  I »m  gettlng  the  wild  idea  of  trying  to  do  something  about  this 
myself  in  the  future,  if  I  ever  reach  the  stage  where  -^  can  read 
Russian  really  fluently. 

Please  write  me  soon — and  at  length — about  what  you  have  been 
doing  yourself,  I  hope  your  present  conditions  have  allowed  yoti  to 
work  uninterruptedly  and  that  you're  making  progress  on  your  var- 
ious  pro  je  et s — thougli  I  can't  help  repeating  that  I  wish  you  would 
jMiäCS^  concentrate  on  your  T^orie.  It  may  interest  you  to  know  tha-t 
I»m  now  relading  the  proofd  of  the  English  translation  of  Cassirer's 
Symbol isMcJe  Formen  (Vol.  3)  which  will  probably  be  out  next  year. 
Also,  Beajöon  Press  up  in  Boston  wants  to  sign  a  contract  vith  me 
for  tty  Dostoevsky  (which  I  hope  to  have  finished  by  next  Christmas), 
and  then  a  volume  of  essays.  Right  now  I*m  being  coy  to  see  how  m.6|ilöi 
money  I  can  get  out  of  them;  but  1*11  probably  sign,  We've  decided 
to  stay  in  Europe  another  year  for  various  reasons  so  1  shan't  see 
you,  I»m  afraid,  for  a  while,  \inless — and  it's  not  a  bad  idea  at 
all — you  should  Visit  the  Old  V^orld  yourself  (why  not?).  So  please 
write  me  very  soon  a  very  long  letter,  "and  give  our  love  to  Rose,

Dearest  David:- 

I'm  dellghted  to  hear  of  the  plans  for 
your  trip;  I  think  it  will  do  you  a  v/orld 
of  ßood.  And  since,  as  you  say,  you're  ablö 
to  vjork  while  travelling,  I  expect  all  sorts 
of  good  things  to  emerge  along  äswMpK  the 
way.  Comi^ig  back  to  the  Old  World,  to  Eur- 
ope — I  donH  know  about  Asia — should  be  an 
cxciting  experience  for  you;  I'm  eager  to 
hear  of  your  reactions. 


'i 


Please^  js^mmmm  please  kee?-^  in  vory 
close  touch  v/ith  me,  and  we  shall  certainly 
arrange  to  see  each  other  while  you're  in 
the  South  of  Europe.  Guiguite,  myself  and 
Claudine  will  be  staying  on  the  Gab  e  d^Aacur 
through  September,  which  means  that  I  can 
get  doi^>7n  to  Italy  quite  easily.  Perhaps  ^^^e 
can  raeet  in  Rome  then,  or  perhaps  I  can 
come  down  to  Palermo  (I've  never  been  to 
Sicily).  In  any  case,  something  v/ill  def- 
initely  be  arranged. 

Things  here  are  going  well — Claudine 
is  flourishing,  and  my  vjork,  while  not  pro- 
ceeding  as  fast  as  I  would  like,  is  nonethe- 
less  malcing  progreee.  I've  accepted  the  off  er 
of  a  contract  for  the  book  from  Beacon  Press, 
with  a  nÄce  advance  that  vdll  help  us  out 
for  next  yearj  the  contract,  though^isn't  yet 
signed,  I'y©  looked  all  around  Paris  for  the 
RawidowiicUci  book  you  rocommended,  and  vjhich 
soultnds  like  exactly  what  I  want,  but  I  can^t 
fll  nd  it.  If  you  could  manage  to  get  hold  of 
a  copy  for  me,  I«d  Im  immensely  grateful.

Dearest  David :- 


I  was  both  happy  and  sad  at  receivlng  your  last  lettär — happy 
because  hearlng  from  you  is  always  a  joyral  event  in  my  life,  and 
sad  at  the  news  that  you  weren^t  Coming  to  Eiirope  after  all,  I«ve 
long  feit  that  a  look  at  "altes  Europa"  v;ould  do  you  a  world  of  good; 
but  I  must  admit  that,  in  the  back  of  my  mind,  I  too  was  wondering 
how  it  would  affect  your  health.  And  of  course  if  there  is  even  the 
slightest  question,  the  doctor  is  right,  lioredpver,  being  now  pene- 
trated  with  the  spirit  of  Dostoevsl^,  I  must  also  admit  to  a  malicious, 
"imderground"  feeling  that  perhaps,  so  far  as  your  v;ork  is  concerned, 
staying  in  one  place  may  be  best  after  all,  Despite  all  your  assert- 
ions,  I^ve  never  been  convinced  that  you  could  vjork  as  well  travell- 
ing  all  over  the  vrorld — and  to  countries  you've  never  been  to#--as 
ab  your  peaceful  desk  in  Long  Beach,  The   news  that  material  is  piling 
up  for  the  Ihe  rie  fills  me  with  delight  and  hopej,  Please,  please 
continue  to  work  on  that  primariL  ly,  and  don't  scatter  your  energies 
vxith  rovievjs  and  short  articles  unless  they^re  ahsolutely  essential, 

I^m  very  pleased  indeed  that  you  gave  my  name  and  address  to 
Rintelen,  and  1  hope  he  gets  in  touch  xvith  me,  You  might  even  write 
him  again  to  teil  him  that  I«d  vei*y  much  like  to  give  hira  a  hand,  in 
case  he*s  hesitating  about  my  attitude.  You've  told  me  about  him  in 
the  past;  and  I  should  very  much  like  to  make  contact  with  soneone 
of  his  calibre  in  T/aggim  present-day  Germany,  So  far  as  your  own  work 
is  concerned,  you  laiow  how  pleased  I  am  to  read  and  correct  it;  and 
I  T^eg;  you  not  to  hesitate  to  send  me  anything  about  which  you  are  in 
doubt.  Of  your  recent  publications,  it  seems  to  me  that  ^ou've  sent 
me  the  Heym  memoirs,  and  the  revievx  of  Mandelbaum;  but  1  should  very 
much  like  to  receive  copies  of  the  rest,  especially  the  article  on 
the  Philosophy  of  History, 

IWe  rcsiimed  \TOrk  on  my  Dostoevsky  again,  after  a  month  of 
resting  and  reading  which  did  me  a  lot  of  good,  I*ve  gone  back  to 
writing  with  renewed  zest,  and  can  even  begin  to  catch  glimpses  of 
the  end--v;hich  of  course  Increases  my  zeal  to  continue,  IWe  piled 
up  almost  300  pages  of  manuscript,  and  in  going  back  to  rc-read  it 
occasionally,  it  seems  to  me  (modestly)  that  there »s  a  lot  of  good 
material  there,  I  hope  to  have  the  first  draft  completed  perhaps 
(if  I'm  lucky)  around  the  first  of  next  year,  aad  then  to  polish  it 
up  as  rapidly  as  I  can,  My  reading  knowledge  of  ßussian  is  making  app- 
reciable  progress,  and  I  thinlc  I  can  go  through  the  Russian  material 
1^11  need  quite  quickly,  Despite  the  vast  literatiore  on  Dostoevsky, 
my  book  will  place  him  in  an  a  prcciajtbly  new  perspective,  not  so 
much  by  discovering  anything  factuaD.ly  nevx  but  by  trying  to  really 
analyze  what  the  öj.ready  known  really  means,  I  forget  now  whether  I 
thanked  you  or  not  for  the  Rawidowics,  the  news  of  whose  death  moved 
me  qulte  deeply,  I'd  just  fldpii  writtea  a  letter  to  him  for  the 
delightful  surprise  of  receiving  his  book;  it  was  terrible  news  to 
hear  that  he  had  just  died  shortly  after  sending  it.

I«m  maJclng  atterapts  to  resTJone  my  philosophical  educatlon  again 
(how  I  wlsh  I  had  more  tlme  for  It)  on  the  excuse,  ^rhich  Is  true, 
that  a  thoroußh  Imov/ledge  of  Gorman  Idoalism  is  indispensable  for 
any  imderstanding  of  the  Hussian  cult-ural  backgrotmd,  I»m  finally 
reading  Kroner  *s  Von  Kant  bis  Her;el  which  is  a  work  absolutely  erst- 
klassig— subtle,  penetrating,  extremely  well-Tjritten#  Most  of  my 
reading  in  this  field,  as  yoti  know,  has  been  on  the  lieo-Kantian 
side  (Cassirer);  it's  great  fun  to  get  the  perspective  frora  the  other 
endt  I  i>TUst  adrait  that  I*m  too  rrruch  of  a  Kantian,  and  perhaps  an 
Anglo-Saxon  empiricist,  to  be  persuaded  that  transcendental  apper- 
ception  can  really  swallovx  up  iiggßm.   Anschauvmg.  IVhat  does  it  mean  to 
say  that  the  tranzendentales  Ich  prodtices  Anschauiing?  I  don^t  Imovj» 
But  Kroner  malces  ont   a  beautiful  case  for  showin.f^  how,  logically, 
the  Kantian  positions  seem  inevltably  to  lead  to  the  Idealistic  Sys- 
tems« 

Many  thanl:s  for  the  Stepun  and  the  article  on  Ciirtius.  I  agree 
vxith  you  completely  about  the  latter;  a  lot  of  pretBLtitionsA  nonsense. 
Apparently,  in  the  later  years,  of  his  life,  Curtius  beceirae  an  imposs- 
ible  porson;  there  were  hundreds  of  stories  to  that  effect  about  him 
at  trinceton,  But  he  was  a  first-rate  critic  and  perhaps  the  last  of 
the  great  Europoans.  I  thinlc  next  year,  vrhen  I  get  around  to  pre- 
p^ring  my  vol\:ime  of  essays,  I  may  do  a  piece  on  hin  nyself. 

No,  we  haven't  gone  to  Port  Gros  yet,  though  we  may  one  of 
these  daysj  the  other  day  we  drove  over  to  iJ^andou  and  were  tempted 
to  take  a  boat  to  the  islands.  But  we  try  to  work  in  the  mornings, 
swim  in  the  aftornoons,  read  in  the  evenings--and  we  also  have  to 
take  some  time  off  to,  play  with  Claudine,  vxho  is  grov/ing  by  lepps 
and  bounds  and  is  delightfully  lively  and  good-humored,  We'll  have 
to  send  you  a  pic  ture  of  her  one  of  these  days.

Doarest  David:- 


• 

I  feil  very  guilty  about  not  having  written  you  sooner.  I 
read  with  great  enjoyment  and  app?  eciation  all  the  materlal  you 
sent  me,  and  was  particularly  interested  in  your  artlcle  on  Voegel- 
er  and  Toynbee«  I  hope  you  prlnted  your  critlcism  of  Mr.  V,;  what 
you  had  to  say  about  Toynbee  --particularly  in  relation  to  the 
JewsT-seems  to  me  to  have  beoi  said  in  a  work  (published  a  few  years 
ago)  by  an  American  (I  forget  his  name;  it's  a  Jewish  one)  in  a 
book  called  The  Professor  and  the  Fossil  published  by  Knopf • 

After  much  cogitation,  I  have  decided  to  accept  a  job  offered 
me  for  next  year  at  the  University  of  Minnesota  iriMinnea^olis. 
I  have  been  naraed  Asst.  Prof.  at  quite  a  decent  salary;  this  means 
that  I  >shall  now  have  academic  respectability  (which  is  very  imp- 
ortant,  in  view  of  my  erratic  sdiolastic  carear)  and  what  I  have 
to  teach  is  not  too  bad*  I  am  going  to  have  very  large  classes,  but 
have  been  assured  that  I  will  not  have  to  give  formal  lectures.  It 
seems  to  me  that  I  can  handle  the  Situation,  and,  since  no  other 
off er  was  forthcoming  from  anywhere  eise,  I  thought  that  the  bfcst 
thing  I  could  do  was  to  try  my  ^uck  and  take  it.  As  a  result,  we 
(Guiguite,  Claudine  and  Myself )will  be  Coming  back  to  the  States 
in  early  Sept. 

I  have  been  working  away  steadily  at  my  book  on  Dostoevsky, 
and  now  even  harder  than  ever  because  I«d  very  much  like  to  have 
the  first  draft  finished  by  the  time  I  get  back  to  the  State s,  Prom 
the  way  it  looks  now,  vmless  I  have  some  bad  luck,  this  should  be 
quite  possible.  According  to  my  estimations,  I  have  only  jhk  four 
more  chapters  to  write;  and  I  have  just  begun  one  of  theme.  I 
donH  anticipate  any  great  difficulties  with  any  of  them,  and  I  hope 
that  my  anticipation  turns  into  reality.  I'm  now  up  to  page  38O 
in  my  manuscript  and  should  hit  1|.00  very  soon — which  shows  you  that, 
at  any  rate,  I  haven^t  been  wasting  my  time  these  last  few  years. 
Of  course  the  first  draft  is  not  the  book,  and  the  whole  first  sect-  ^ 
ion  will  take  a  lot  of  re-writlng;  but  once  my  ideas  are  down  on  paper^ 
I  usually  work  very  fast.  Thus,  unless  conditions  are  really  imposs- 
ible  at  ^'^inneso^\;a,  I  should  have  the  book  in  final  shape  some  time 
hext  year. 

Claudine  is  a  delightful  child  with  an  angelic  disposition  (as 
I  may  have  already  told  you)  and  is  a  const^nt  source  of  gaiety  and 
amusement,  We  would  send  you  a  picture  if  we  had  one  that  was  recent; 
but  our  last  orgy  of  picture-taking  was  last  Siammer,  and  she's  gro\m 
so  much  since  then  that  one  of  her  old  picture s  mmat   would  hardly  give 
you  an  idea.  However,  we  should  soon  begin  taking  pictureslagain  and 
reserv©  the  very  first  decent  ones  for  you.  ' 

We  have  seen  Ernst  Sternglass  and  his  wife  a  nviraber  of  times, 
and  find  him  very  impressive  indeed.  No  doubt  you»ve  heard  all  about 
his  triumphs  with  de  Broglie  etc.,  and  the  papers  he  is  presenting 
to  the  Prench  Academy  of  Sciences.  He  is  flourishing  irlthe  more  phil- 
osophical  atmosphere  of  European  science,  and,  though  JA«  was  rather

aggressively  American  when  he  arrlved  (Americans  alwe^y/ have  a  tend< 
©ncy,  at  first,  to  be  belligerent  about  Burope )  f  rom  W^  most  recent 
observations  he  has  become  a  complete  convert  to  Europe,  He  Is  so 
allve  and  Intelligent  that  it  *  s  always  a  ple  asure  to  be  with  him, 
but  entre  nous  soit  dit  hls  wife,  though  perfectly  nice,  is  rather 
a  trial. 


I  hope  that  everything  is  going  along  smoothly  with  you,  and 
I  lock  forward  eagerly  to  a  meeting  sometime  next  year#  I  also 
hope  to  see  more  of  your  Theorie^  on  which  I  once  again  urge  you  to  j 
concentrate  all  your  energies.  nir- My  fordest  regards  to  Rose.,.  J^uM-^

IWe   feit   extrer.iely  guilty  all    this    time   about   not  having

of  everything--Pope,    Voltaire,    Roussea'gt,    Goethe,    Tolstoy.    I 
dcn^t  know  whethcr  I^m  really  a   good   tc^acher  or  not,   but   it   still 
is   the  2uost   interesting  vjay   I    can   think  of  to  riake   a  livlnr;    and 
so   long   as   they'll  have  me,    1^11   tr^r   to  keep   at   it.    I  hope   even-

Luckily,    we   found   a  decent  place   to   live   in  the   nicest  res-

quite  prctty).    Tlie   winters   are   supposed  to  be   quite    severe  but  0^i'^<^

erminedly  liberal    and  maiages   to  hold  its   ovm   against  thejvarious 
local   types   of  bigotry   and   stupidity;    taut   the   poor   stud(f^s,    most

beginning  to  be   affected  by   some   of  your  pessimism  about  the

Doarest  David  :- 


IWo  been  carrying  those  manuscrlpts  around  in  rriy  pocket 
for  days  and  forgetting  tim©  and  time  again  to  mail  them»    The 
jr  essure  of  work  is   so   enormous  that   all   I  can  do  is  to   think 
of  Y/hat   I^m  going  to   say  in  the  noxt   cljtassj    I   ovon  forgot  to 
ask  for  my   check  JA  I  now  laiow -t]|ÖB*fc  why  professors  are  absent- 
rainded;    thoy  have  to   think  of  v/hat  they^re  going  to    say  in  the 
next  hoiir  and  don't  have  time  to  focus  on  anything  eise*    So 
please  donU   think  that  I^'v^eglected  your  writings,   or  don't 
want  to   continue  to  receive 'them.    I  enjoyed  your  review  of 
Kaufmann  and  even   got   a  copy  of  the  book  to  read — but  I   simply 
don^t  have  time   for   anything  eise  but   thousands  and  thousands 
of  pagos  of  English  novols#    If  this  keeps  up  I»m  going  to  hate 
literature. 

Prom  the  list   of  articles  you  sont  me  I   seem  to  rom.ember 
that  1  havo  most  of  them;   but  I  don^t  have  it  right  here  in 
my  offico  and  there   are  one  or  two  things  I  don^t  tem^ember  and

will  let  you  know  about.  A  chapter  of  iny  Dostoevsky  book  came 
out   In  Prench   (^  canH  place  It  anyv/hero  in  this  country)    and, 
when  I  Ret   some  r.ore   coples,   I»ll   send  you  one;   I  think  it  nay 
interest  you.   I.Ioanwhlle,   Guiguite  Is  getting  together  all  my 
old  essaTS  and  reviews  and  I'm  1?%inG  to  raake  a  book  out  of  them 
without  doing  too  imich  work.   It  »r  necessary  for  ine  to  get   a  book 
out  as   soon  as  possiblo;    and  perhaps  thls  won»t  be  too  bad.    Look- 
Ing  over  all  IWe  written,    it    soems  to  me  that   an  acceptable  vol- 
ume  can  be  made  of  them« 

Have  you  looked  at  Hannah  Arend}tt«s  new  book?   I»d  like  to 
know  what  you  think  of  it— it   seems  very  Heideggerian,    from 
what  I»vo  heard    (and  from  )*i  at  I   couldgäther  ^JJ.  °2?^«5'|^^^°2= 
with  her)   and  this  makes  me  a  bit    suspicious.   But  I^d  lil^o  Jo 
haveyour  opinion.   And  Is  there  anything  cordng  out  xn  G^rmany 
that's  interostlng?  I  i^e  the  feeling  I'm  l^f^^S  ^°^^^,^^f^^ 
everything  out  here-n<^becamo  the  mterial  xsn't  available 
(they  have  a  huge  library)   but  because  thore's  dobody  to  ^alk  to 
on  the  one  hand,   and  because  I   can't  read  any  new  materxal   on t he 
other« 

Claudine  is  flourishing;  Guiguite  is  expecting  another  adO

III.      MYSTICISM     OF     HA  TÜRE     AND     HISTORY 
The  concept  of  God  —  you  may  have  noticed  with  surprite  —  has   so 
far   bcon  .crive«  very  little   ccnLidcra  tion.      In   the  echolafetic  Systems 
of  the  Mir^dlc   Aget  an  extracrdlnarily  intense  attention  is  paid  to 
extended   discussions  on   the  essercc  of  the  Divins.      Even  such  an 
Ävowed  Opponent  of  mediaval   theology  as   Spinoza  )M6   devoteci  utoti  t 

ir 

UccLTe  to  a  peretrating  rationalistic  analysis  of  the  concept  of  God. 


In  Tnyßticir>ai,  howover,    we  see 


a  quitc  differert  at- 


titude  displayed;  and,      I  believc,    this  mystic  idaa  of  the  Divine  is/ 
in  many  regards^    super icr  to   that  of  scholastic  rationalism.      To   th© 
Western  mj'stic  Ood  Is  essentially  sonething  inscrutable  for  the  finite 
raind,     As  phrased  over  and  over  again   in  the  ay-itical   tradition,   we 
know  only  *hat  God   is  not;    tut  we  can  never  know  in  any  respect  what 
He  ii,      This  crinciple  of   the  so-called   "negative   theology"  y>i;p/C^y^^

But  it  would  be  utterly  mistaken  to  derive  from  these  repeated  de- 
mands  of  Eckhart  only  the  usual  call  to  asceticism  or  to  a  mild  and 
pious  resignation  from  the  affairs  of  the  world,   There  are  overtones 
in  Eckhart^s  appeals  to  detachment  which  speak  a  completely  different 
language.   There  is  infinitely  more  defiance  and  proud  chall enge  to  the 


World  than  passive  retreat  or  tired  recoil 


Thus  Eckhart 


tries  to  silence  all  melancholy  and  defeatism  by  the  harsh  haranguc: 
••Of  this  alone  complain,  that  you  complain  at  all^  and  that  you  are 
still  devoted  to  far  too  laany  things  which  can  cause  you  reason  for 


complaint.   The  mark  of  exemplary  life,  of  life  in  itself,  according  to 
Eckhartf  is  the  completc  unconcern  for  any  ou tward  matter  and  even  out- 
ward purpose.   It  is  life  "sunder  warumbe'*,  life  without  clamoring  for 
any  ''why",  life  for  life^s  sake  alone.   "If  life  is  asked  for  a  thous- 
and  years  •why  doth  thou  live\  it  may  well  answer  '1  live  for  the  sake 
of  living*   .•   it  lives  out  of  its  own  ground  and  wells  up  from  its 
own.   If  you  ask  a  man  true  to  himself  *why  doth  thou  work*,  he  can  say 

no  more  than  •!  work  for  working^s  sake*",

Dearest   David :- 


I  had  hop©d   that   our   friondshlp  was  old   onough   so   that 
my  long    silonce  v/ould  not   inpol  you  to   any  rnisunderstandlngs 
abOT^t   my  foolincs   toward  you;    It  f^eves  mo  decply  to   feel   the 
noto   of   blttorness   in  yoTcr  lotter«  T   know  that   ^   have  boen  terr- 
ibly  negloctful    In  not   answerlng  you^,    particularly  your   charming 
rdssives  from  Florida;    but    I   have   never  had  a   more   oxhausting 
yoar  than  last,    and  was  waiting  for   a  broath  to  be   r.blo   to  resp  ond 
in  the  proper  voin«    But,   v/ith  the    start   of   üumrner,    I  began   to 
v/ork  intensively  on  my  thesis,   which   I   corpl'^ted  on  the'^very 
last   day  before    classes    started;    and   I    just    sont    it   off   a    fev/ 
days  ago,    aftor    sponding  all   iny   spare   tine   supervising  the 
j^^^plng^  and   proof-reading,    etc.    It    seoms  that  when  I  work  inten- 
sTvely  ÄÄd  foel   a  need  to   close   in  on  myself;    I   don^t    seen  to 
be  ablo   to   answer  lettors   even  frorr,  tho   poople   I   am  most  fond 
of,    not    to  raention   practical   inattors   tlirxt  all    go   to  heil   dur- 
ing  that   period.    Nevor  have  I  workod   as  hard    (witn,   I   an  haj  py 
to  rqport,    good  results);    but  I      should  be  vcry  unhappy  indeed 
if  tho  result   of  my  \70rk  should  be  to  alienate  the  very  man^ 
who,    all   the  v/hilo,    I  v/as   conscious  of  having  helped  ne  most 
to   accomplish  it    successfully« 

3nough  of  ^this  nonsenso,   hov/ever;   let  me   teil  you  what   I 
have  beon  doirii^g#   During  the    Surm  or,   working  twolve  hours  a 
day,    I    succeeded  in  writing  my  first   real  book:    D0STO-:VüI:Y  Ai^D 
RUSSIAII  NIKILI:;!.:,    A   Context   for  Kotes  fror.  Undergrounds    It^s 
about   two  hundrod  typewritten  pagos    (It^s  also  ry  thesis),    and 
I  have   sent   it   in  already   to   Harcourt,    Brace*    I  think  there^s 
a  very  good   Chance   of   getting  it   in  print  because   it   contains 
a  feotal]y  now   Interpretation  of  this  work,    and,    by   implication, 
of  Dostoevsky  hin  seif  •    Iilvontually,    this   is  going  to  be   part 
of  vTj  biggar   v/ork  on  Dostoovsl^;    but   I  think  it's  v;orth  while 
bringing  out  by   itself  and  I  wrote   it    so   that    it  was   cornpletoly 
self-contained'.    It    contains  a   good  deal   of  philosophy  as  well 
as  litomry  criticism — all   of  which  I  owe  to  you — and  I«f.  very 
anxious  to^  see  what  you   think  of   it;    but   for  tho  moneiit   I   don^t

Dearest  David :- 

How  have  you  been  lately,  and  why  have  I  not  heard  fron  you? 
I've  been  hoplng  that  you  would  drop  me  a  line  sometime  about  the 
paper  I  sent  for  your  Festschrift^  even  to  teil  me  that  it's  not 
very  good  (it  really  is|hit,  and  I  do  want  to  revise  ItJ,  In  aiy 
Gase,  I  have  just  vn?itten  the  University  of  Chicago  to  send  you 
a  copy  of  my  thesis  on  Dostoevsky  which  I  have  been  wanting  you 
to  read  for  years  now;  and  any  section  of  that  you  like  is  at 
your  disposal,  Indeed,  you  may  consider  all  of  it  written  in 
your  honor:  be cause  it  really  is# 

You^ve  been  much  in  my  thoughts  lately  because,  all  through 
this  summer,  I^ve  been  revlsing  some  of  my  old  essays  in  the 
hope  of  maJking  them  respectable  enough  to  appear  in  a  book--and 
all  of  them  bring  back  memories  of  those  days  in  Washington  when 
you  gave  me  my  re^l  int  eile  ctual  education.  I«m  now  in  the  midst 
of  re-writing  my  article  on  Dr.  Paus  tu  3  ^  and  remember  all  of  oui^ 
talk  about  it  and  how  excited  and  pleased  I  was  when  you  told  me 
that  Mann  liked  it.  Reading  over  the  book  agairi  I  think  it«s  Jbre- 
mendous — mayl5ie  even  greater  than  I  thought  at  first.  And  in  re- 
wo*  ing  the  article  on  Malraux,  I  remembered  how  you  told  me  to 
be  careful  with  my  references  to  Hegel,  and  hov:  fljou  helped  me 
work  out  the  conclusion.  I«m  back  now  reading  Hegel »s  Aesthetik  ^ 
again  (what  a  wonderful  bookl),  and,  in  a  sense,  reliving  my    * 
entire  intellectual  past.  All  of  it  is  tied  up  so  unforgettably 
with  you  that  I  couldn't  help  writing  to  teil  you  about  it  once 
again — though  of  course  you  know  it  very  well. 

On  Sept.  2,  I960,  I  became  the  proud  possessor  of  the  title: 
Ph.  D.  It  was  a  great  relief  to  get  this  business  out  of  the  way, 
especially  since  my  dept.  chairman  had  been  bothering  me  about 
it  all  year.  This  gives  me  definitely  a  little  adademic  security, 
and  now  I  can  settle  down  to  the  business  of  vn:»iting  something 
again.  Harcoiirt  has  given  me  a  contract  for  a  book  on  Dostoevsky 
on  the  strength  of  my  thesis  (that  will  make  up  a  good  part  of 
the  book,  but  by  no  means  all),  and  I  hope  to  get  down  to  writing 
that  once  I  clear  up  the  essays. 

What^s  new  on  the  philosophical  front?  I  still  continue  to 
be  bitten  by  the  bug,  but  haven't  had  much  chance  to  give  rein 
to  my  inclinations  lately.  I  did  manage  to  read  Heidegger» s  Dag 
Wesen  des  Kunstwerks,  and  decided  that--as  an  esthetician,  at 
any  rate — he  was  really  a  very  high-class  svdndler.  Most  of  what 
I  could  understand  seemed  to  me  perfectly  banal  when  translated 
out  of  Heidegger» s  prophetic  stance  and  terminology.  He's  all 
promise  and  no  performance--and  the  whole  thing  degenerates  into 
a  kind  of  mysticism  which  lacks  all  authenticity.  Last  year  I 
taught  Nietzsche »s  Birth  of  Tragedy  and  Geneology  of  Morals  to 
a  Humanities  class — quite  a  workout  for  them,  but  I  really  enloyed 
it.  I  must  admit  that  there's  a  certaln  Schadenfreude  in  him  that

gets  on  my  nerve s;  and  I  can^t  understand  vftiy  everybody  denies 
that  Darwinism  has  any  real  influence  on  hlm.  I  suppose  It's 
too  degrading  to  consider  him  In  that  perspective — especially 
from  the  German  point  of  vle\u   But  I  taught  him  along  with  Dar- 
win and  writers  influenced  by  Darwin--and  I  don't  see  how  you 
can  roally  understand  the  motivation  behind  the  GenTOlogy  except 
from  this  point  of  view.  Of  course  he«s  an  enormously  sophisticated 
Darv;inist--but  the  basis  of  everything  is  a  translation  of  Schopen- 
hauer» s  Wille  into  the  more  scientific  (?)  terms  of  Darwin» s 
Nature — "red  in  tooth  and  claw."  Certainly  he  made  nasty  cracks 
about  Darwin — but  he  always  does  that  about  the  people  he  resembles 
the  most;  and  admires  those  he  resembles  least* 


Prom  the  way  I  ramble  onpm■i^.  you  can  see  how  mach  I  miss 
not  having  anybody  out  here  like  you  to  talk  with*  We  do  have 
some  friends,  but  there»s  a  great  lack  of  real  intellectual 
intercourse--as  least  so  far  as  I»m  concerned.  Por  one  thing, 
nobody  I  know  in  English  Depts.  even  reads  the  books  I »m  interested 
in.  What,  by  the  «p:  way,  do  you  know  about  Helmuth  Plessner?  I 
came  across  a  work  of  his  lately — Schicksal  des  Deutschen  Geistes 
--that  Struck  me  as  being  very  high- das s*  But  I  coüllTraftlV 
on  endlessly  like  this,  and  must  stop  sometime.

Doareat  David :- 

Ploase  forgive  me  for  not  having  answered  yovir  most  welcome 
letter  imich  soonor.   On  returning  to  Minn«apolis  from  Toronto, 
wher«  I   spent  the  hollria^pys  with  Marguerlt  e  and  the  childroi  , 
I  found  awaiting  me  an  off er  to  com«  to  Rutgers  University    (in 
New  Brimswick)   t©  teach  comparative  literature.   i^ost  of  the 
month  has  been  taken  up  with  Wr  king  up  uy  mind   (which  is  not 
yet  made  up  def init Ively ) ,  but   chanoea  are  I  will   tako  it  be- 
cause  it  will  off er  me  mordoppoBtunity  for  independent  teach- 
ing.  Also,    it  will  maan  being  in  the  East— and  hence  being  able 
to   see  you  occasionally,  which  is  a   Stimulus  I  miss  very   much. 
The  trouble  is  that,   planning  to   stay  here,  we  bought  a  house 
just  about  two  months  ago  and  are  hardly   s*ttled;   but  vvorldly 
goods  should  not  be  allowed  to  weigh  dov/n  the  life  of  the  spirit, 

You  can*t  really  imagine  how  delighted  I  am  with  yovir  fevor- 
able  cemments  on  my  Dostoevsky.   I  got  your  letter  after  the  holS- 
days,   during  which  I  had  a  chance  to  look  at  my  library  again  after 
three  years;    and  I   spont   some  time  re-reading  in  your  Baader  and 
Kampf  um  den  Lebens sinn.    So  I  had  a  very  vivid  sense  of  just  how 
great  a  master  you  wer«  of  intellectual  and  cultural  history.   To 
have  your  approbation  means  a   great  dazl  deal.   I«m  very  pJs  ased 
that  y<Du  llked  it,   and  am  overjoyed  to  have  a  chapter— th«  one 
on  the  raznochintsy— app»ar  in  your  Festschrift.   I  fccept  both 
your  crlticlsms  as  very  just  and  pertlnent;    and  must  Pl«ad  that 
fwro^a  the  manuscript  you#  read  in  about   four  months- -during 
one   Suimner-and  have  not  fevised  any  of  it,   although  I  of  course 
ülan  tb  do  so.   X  did,  however,  revise  ray  two  last  chapters— con- 
taSinr  the  Corte  of  the  thesis,    th«  nnalysis  of  Notes  from  Under- 
roSnS!  fshcr?^«»«  Version  of  this  has   just  come  out  in  |g^

rl?^that  is  the  analysis  on  the  Kotes)   has  been  accepted  for 
mblication  as  a  pamphlet    (in  SnglTsEJ-in  a   Slaylc   «J^i«»  °;^^^^ 
Dniversity  of  Heidelberg  edited  by  Dimitrl  Tschljewski.   Itm  very 
Sicited  about  this  latter,    of  course;   to  have  his  approval   is  to

S. 


Denrest  David:- 


Please  forj^ive  me  for  not  having  answered  you  immediately.  I 
was  deli^^hted  to  get  your  letter,  as  alvjays,  and  to  geel  our  intellect 
ual  contact  renewed.  Nothing  Is  more  iraportant  for  me  than  such  con- 
tact  because,  fron  time  to  time,  I  begin  to  feel  very  intellectually 
isolated.  Because,  I  think,  my  Interests  and  cast  of  mind  are  so  pre- 
domina^ly  European,  I  find  there  are  very  fe  '  people  I  can  really  talk 
to  abdut  what  interests  me  most;  and  none  who  have  given  me  as  much 
as  you. 

However,  these  last  months  have  been  unusually  hard  f^r  me  --and 
not  .skSi  for  me  alone.  Mari^rite  suddenly  had  to  unr'ergo  a  very  severe 
Operation  about  two  montns'^ago,  and,  a  month  later,  another  minor  one 
which  was,  howeveir  quite  unpleasant.  You  can  imagine  hov;  I  feit  at 
the  time  with  two  little  girls  at  home  (they're  both  absolutely  ador- 
able);  I  was  almost  at  the  edge  of  total  despair.  HoT-zever,  the  Opera- 
tions went  very  v/eil,  and  she  has  made  an  excellent  recovery«  V/e  both 
hope  her  illness  will  not  have  any  furth^  r  consequences,  and  there  is 
a  very  good  Chance  this  v/ill  be  the  case.  So  I»m  beginning  to  breate 
a  bit  more  easily  and  to  get  back -«k  to  normal  again. 

sh  in  my  manuscript,  and 
you  do  will,  I  am  siire, 

s  a  prima  donna  in  that 
to  appear  in  the  collection, 
Have  you  a  table  of  Contents? 

t  forget  that  I«ll  be  avall- 
a  x;hole,  as  well  as  my  own 
send  you  my  Paris  address  for 


Please  make  whatever  changes  you  wi 
send  it  on  to  me  as  planned.  Any  editin, 
be  completely  accep table;  I  am  by  no  m 
respect.  It  is  realjy  a  very  great  hono 
and  I  should  like  to  know  more  about  it« 
IM  very  much  like  to  see  it.  Also,  don' 
able  for  proof-reading  the  manuscript  as 
piece,  if  that  shovild  be  necessary.  1^11 
next  year  before  we  sali. 


And  that  reminds  me  that  our  plans  have  ch.^^nged  somev;hat,  much 
to  my  regret  but  unaviöt^idably  so  far  as  coming  East  is  concerned. 
To  spare  both  rlarjtibjbrit^and  the  children,  vje  have  decided  to  stay 
here  until  Sept.  7^  fly  East  on  that  day,  and  sail  on  the  Oth.  That 
will  avoid  getting  settled  in  the  East  for  a  week  in  a  nevr  place,  etc., 
which  is  a  great  strain  all  around;  here  the  children  have  playmates, 
and  will  stay  in  a  familiär  environment.  But  as  a  consequence,  this 
means  I  v/ill  have  no  time  to  see  you  as  I  had  planned.  As  you  can 
well  imagine,  this  makes  me  quite  unhappy;  but  there  seems  to  be  no 
way  out,  The  only  possibility  is  if  you  were  to  be  in  New  York  the 
evening  of  the  7th  (we  shall  arrive  sometime  in  the  late  afternoon 
and  stay  in  a  hotel).  But  I  don»t  feel  I  have  the  right  to  ask  you  to 
make  that  long  trip  in  from  Long  Beach  for  the  sake  of  vjhat  vjould  prob- 
ably,  under  the  circumstances,  be  a  relatively  brief  meeting.  By  all 
means,  therefore,  send  me  the  articles  you  mentioned  in  your  letter-- 
particularly  the  piece  on  Cassirer.  I've  been  re-reading  in  hlm  lately 


I

because  I  find  that  the  problems  that  Malraux  Is  tackling  are  essent- 
ially  the  same  as^is:  ie.,  xjhat  can  we  say  about  man  in  terms  of  n 
phllosophy  of  ciilijtture  (Malraux  asks^  the  question  onD^y  in  terms  of 
art)*  Cpssirer  gives  a  functlonal  definition  of  man,  1.  e,,  hls  cap- 
acity  to  cren.te  symbolic  vjorlds,  while  admitting  that  these  worlds 
have  dlffered  historically  and  evolved.  Malraux  wavers,  it  seems  to 
me,  brtween  a  functional  and  ontological  er  me taphy si cal  definition. 
Man  creates  the  symbolic  vxorld  of  art,  1»>^  thTs~T7öiTr5'reve7iXs'~the —  ' 
essence  of  man  to  be  liberty.  But  what  about  the  arts  that  exnress 
man^s  slavery  to  the  cosmos?  Man  is  free  to  express,  but  not  every 
expression  is   that   of  free  dorn,  * 

Meanwhile,    IWe  begun  to   read  Kegels  ^s  Aes  the  tilg  again  (marvellousl ), 
cd)>fi  B.  very  good  Prench  Tjook  by  Mikel  Duf  renne,   Phenomenologie   de  l^expBrience 
esthetique.    This   is  very  suggestive,    and  I  v;ant   some tirae"  to   really 
acquaint  myself  -Ith  Husserl  &   Co.   I  We   long  had   the  feeling  that  while 
the   develop/bnent   from  phenomenology  to  Existentialism  was   a  blind  alley 
in  ethics,    it  mlght  lead  to   interesting  results  in  esthetics,    Dufrenne 
/    seems  to   confji^  my  view.    I   also   read  half  of  Ilartmann's  Problem  des 
Geistigen  Selns^-full   of  common  sense,    but   the   readlng   s<  «mehow  dis- 
appointin^.  Mayhe  he*s   too   cautious — and  too   abstract.    I   find  I    agree 


b 


Hith  almost  ever^fthing  he  says,  but  don»t  seem  really  to  learn  anything; 
but  I  think  1^11  go  back  and  read  the  rest  of  the  book  sometime.

The  Fleetwood,   Long  Beach,   N.Y.  9/17/60 

Dearest  Joet 

Wärmest  congratulatlor  s  on  your  PH.D.    torture  concludedj     How 
good   that  this   is  now  behind  you  J     I  ara  very  nuch  looking  forward   to   the  copy 
of  your  thesie  which  has  not  yet   landed  here. 

Have  you  not  received  my  letter  of  thanks  for  your  contribution 
♦■.0  the  Fegtschriff^  I  sent,  I  think,  a  rather  long  eplstle  to  you  months  ago 
and  knowin^  how  overbusy  you  are  during  the  academic  year  1  did  not  vrlte  any 
more  nor  return  your  MS  though  you  had  sug^ested  this.  I  wat  happy  indeed  to 
see  It  offered  for  Üie  Festschrift  and  did  not  want  you  to  waste  tnore  time 
for  oe,  3ut  if,  as  you  cay,  you  want  to  revise  it  and  have  no  other  copy,  I 
shall  gladly   return   the  MS   to  you,, 

I  Kn   still  moved  by/the   teatimoniee  of  gretitude  and  friendship 
shown  me   by  former   students  ar.d  Collen  gues  on  my  70th.      12  valuable  contri- 
butione   to    the  Festschrift  are  already  in:    by   the  Hobel  Prize  maxi  Hermann 
Hess«,  H.P,  Adams  (üirming^iam  Univ.  Engl  and),   Andrea  Galimberti   (Univ.of  Genoa), 
Stephen  Hobhouse   (Oxford),  Hugo     Bcrgman   (Ist  Rector  Univ.    of  Jerusalem), 
Helmut  Hatzfeld   (Catholic  Univ.),   Rudolf  Kayser   (Hunter  College),  P.A.Schilpp 
(Editor. Library   of  Living  Philosophers ^Northwestern  Univ.), 

Further,    circa  twenty  more  essays   have  been  definitely  promisedi 
by  Richard  Kroner    (whora  you  much  appreciate),  James   Outmann   (Columbia  Univ.), 
Edwin  Redslob   (formerly  Reichskunstwart),   Huntington  Cairns    (Nat'l   Gallery), 
Charles  A.   Baylis   (Duke  U^^iv. ), Ernst  Simon   (Univ.  Jerusalem), Felix  Weltsch, 
Carl  Frankenstein    (both  Univ.Jerusalem),   Helmut  Kuhn   (Univ.Munich)   F.J.von 
Rintelen    (Uni v. Mainz)  Pin thus    (Columbia  Un. ) .Richard  Walzer    (Oxford), Hanf red 
Moritz   (Univ.Luitt),  Max  Brod   (Tel  Aviv),   Lou  Albert  Lazard   (My  portrait)   but, 
of  course,    the  volume  cannot  appear  before   the  middle  of  1961  arid,    I  think, 
quality  alone  should  count  arid  not  overhasty  appearance   in  i960. 

It   is   extre-nely  good   of  you    to  spekk  so   wirmly  of  what  you  owe 
■•  and  I  am  sincerely  gratefUl  for  it.     But,honbetly,   I  have  alw;  ys   insisted, 
as   I  did  in  my   talk  vith  Miinn   that  all  you  think  you  got   from  me  was  already 
in  you  and  more  than  that,  your  judgment   of  Nietzsche,   for  insts-nce,   differs 
widely  from  mine.  «l^/i^c^ 

I  cannot  see  hie    essen tially  educational   concept  of   the  superman 
decisively   influenced  by   the  painstaking  descriptive  analysis  of  natural  evol- 
ution  in   Darwin,     I   think  Nietzsche  on  this  and  other  points  near-^r   to  such 
idealistic  dreamers  as  Herder   (who  spekks  of  "Ir«sformation  in  hönere  Lebens- 
formen") and  nearer   to  the  v*iole  crowd  of  German  and  Frsnch  more  or  less  u- 
topian  evolutionists   ,     But  neither  the  Slogans   "supennan",    "blond  beast", 
"eternal  recurrence",   etc.   are   to   me  important;   and  my"fheor|e  des  LebenssinnS 
is  very  different  from  these  catch  wDrds  >  nd  from  Zarathrustra  anyhow. 

Still,    like  Freud  &nd  Thomas  Mann,    I   think  Nietzsche  oneof  the 
greatest  psychologists,   German  stylists  and,    in  addition   to    this,   philosophers 
of  history    ("From  Nutzen  u.   Nachteil  der  Historie",    "Morgenröte",    "FrifWliche 
Wissenschaft";    I   don ' t   think,    for   instance,    that  any  Jew  or  gentile  said  any- 
thing  more  penetrating  on    the  Jews   than  Nietzschel        But  let's   fight  out  all 
this  very  soon  when   I  hope  we  will  meet  again. 

I  have  published  quite  a  number  of  smaller    things    this  year;   and 
a  large  introduction   to  very   interesting  unpublished  letters  by  Berthold  i»uer- 
bach,   Lazarus  and  Steinthal  will   come  out  soon  along  with  a  long  article  on 
Herder  for   the  Sncyclopedia  Kebraica  and  one  on   "Kaddish  ana    the  Lord 's  Prayexl 
I  am  sendir.g  you   a  few  —  not  all-of  these  printed   items  under   separate  cover.

Dearest  David:- 

I  was  delightod  to  get  the  followlng  contractu  froin  Ernest, 
and  to  finally  hav6  some  concrote  informatlcn  on  the  Festschrift» 
YouWe  probably  forgotten  that  I  dldn't  know  anything  about  all 
the  negotiations  th-^t  were  being  carried  on,  and  was  extreme ly  —r- 
curlous  to  know  what  arrangements  had  boen  made»  Congratulaions 
on  the  contractl  I'm  honored  to  be  one  of  the  editors,  and  it  will 
glve  me  great  pleasxire  indeed  to  contribute  my  humble  chapter» 
Have  you  got  a  llst  of  contributor s?  I'd  very  rauch  like  to  know 
who  and  what  is  appearlng. 

Congratulations  too  on  the  appearance  of  your  t^stlclsm» 
^  read  it  through  in  one  sitting  with  great  pleasure,  and  could 
only  admire  once  again  your  briillÄnce,  ränge,  and  wonderful 
balance*  Has  it  received  any  reviows?  I'd  very  rauch  like  to  know 
what  is  Said  about  it» 

In  ray  last  letter,  I  think,  I  told  you  that  I  had  received 
an  off  er  froir  Rutgors;  I  don't  know  if  the  final  decision  had  yet 
been  raade.  However,  I  finally  decided  to  accept  it,  and  join  their 
^a^iA   faculty  as  Associate  Prof,  of  Comparative  Literature  in 
Sept.,  1961»  öut  this  is  only  a  forinality;  actually  I  have  re- 
ceived a  grant  for  next  year  to  conplete|i|t  iny  Dostoevsky,  and 
will  probably  spend  it  in  Prance.  The  year  after  that,  though,  I 
fi'hall  be  back  in  the  States  living  in  the  vicinity  of  New  York 
Iprobably  in  ir^rinceton) ;  and  I  am  looking  forward  with  enormous 
pleasure  to  the  possibility  of  seeing  and  talking  with  you  again» 
ff  alligoes  well,  we«ll  sail  on  Sept.  8  from  New  fork,  and  v:e  rnny 
be  in^the  East  a  few  days  before  that  time.  Perhaps  I»ll  pet  a 
Chance  to  see  you  then;  it  all  depends  on  factors  that  I  can^t 
judge  right  now. 

Hov;  are  you  and  how  is  your  work  coming  along?  I  would  like 
to  get  news  occasionally,  and  I  do  hope  that  you  will  keep  send- 
in^:^  me  your  oifprints  and  articles»  There^s  nothing  I  enjoy  read- 
ing  more.  Right  how,  I«m  just  completing  a  rovisi6n  of  my  essays— 
somethlng  I«ve  wanted  to  do  for  years,  but  have  never  qulte  gotten 
around  to*»  Most  of  them  are  re-written  pretty  thorough^ly;  one 
after  all  löarns  something  in  ten  years  or  so  of  reading,  writing 
and  thinking.  I  wish  I  had  you  around  to  consult  on  my  new  Version 
of  the  ^iece  on  Malraux's  esthetics,  wMch  you  may  remenber»  i3ut 
I  hope  the  essays  will  be  published— I  think  now  that  they^re  re- 
written  there^s  a  much  batter  chance--and  that  I  shall  eventually 
be  able  to  send  you  a  copy»  The  children  and  Marguerite  are  well. 
Our  fondest  regords  to  Rose»...»

I  found  your  Augustine  reference,  though  in  an  earlier 
Dombart  edition  than  the  one  you  gave  me.  The  reference  is: 
Augustinus,  Civitas  Dei,  ed.  B.  Dombart,  Vol.  II,  1677,  pp« 
389-390. 

I  consulted  the  Meiner  edition  of  the  Anthropolop.ie  but 
I$m  afraid  I  couldn't  find  the  reference,  I  looked  up  all  ref- 
erence^lto  Voltaire,  and  to  Schlaf  and  Hoffnung  as  well,  but 
could  rind  nothing  corresponding  to  the  thought  of  the  sentence 
you  prave  me .  I^m  sending  a long i^an_^ edition  of  the  book  I  found  uu^jUli' 
among  my  own  books  while  unpackingT  Please  keep  it  as  long  "as~^      ^ 
you  like,  and  I  can  pick  it  up  sornetine  when  I  come  to  visit  i^'p^^Y^y^ 

I  r«^ad  the  chapter  on  the  tragic  with  the  utmost  pleasure, 
and  with  a  good  deal  of  Profit.  It^s  one  of  the  most  masterlv 
re'sum^s  of  the  problem  I've  ever  seen  (and  IWe  seen  alot  ofithem). 
Incidentally,  as  well  as  sone  missing  pages  at  the  beginning, 
p.  14.2  is  also  missing.  Here  are  a  few  commenti^hat  occurred  to 
me  while  I  was  reading.  l 

1.  ^/\/hile  I  *ra  in  general  agreement  withj  your  rejection 
of  any  attempt  to  focus  the  center  of  trag^fh]  in  a  "reconciling" 
force  or  in  the  fei  ix  culpa  ^  I  thinlc  that  pernaps  you  stress  this 
too  strongly.  The  mere  fact  of  being  in  a  work  of  art,  it  seems 
to  me ,  already  contains  a  certain  f  actor  of  ''reconcilement." 
Malraux  remarks  somewhere  that  the  mere  fact  of  bein^i;  able  60 
"represent"  horror  shows  a  mastery  of  it  to  a  certain  extent. /h^-^**

2.    In  your  rejection  of  the    Charge  of  imnorality   against  ^      -f^  Ji 

works   of  art   that  represent  horrible   events,    I    thinl<:''you    should      J  §^  ^

empirischen  Rechtfertigung  bar  bleiben  mus  en/'  But  why  sho^ld  '  y"^ 
matter s  of  metaphysical  and  relip:ious  belief  be  excluded  from   ^ö-;^, 
works  of  art?  The-  tnith  of  art  does  not  have  to  justif;^^  itself  ^y^ 
by  any  ^SBfcÄük  emnrical  cri^terion,  This  sentence  implies  that  it'^^'^ 
does,  though  I  don't  think  this  is  what  you  really  mean.  Also,  "^^-^'^ 
I  thinl<:  it's  inadvisab]e  to  draw  too  harcl-and-fast  a  line  between 
religion  and  tragedy.  It  began,  after  all,  as  a  religious  rite, 

Aside  from  these  r^oints,  I  found  the  chapter  extreme ly 
illuminating  and  original.  The  emphasis  on  the  problem  of  plea- 
sure  in  tragedy  is  cörtainly  a  new  one,  and  nobody  has  really 
raised  the  issue  this  directly,  so  far  as  I  know,  except  Nietzsche. 
But  of/-^ourse,  as  Xg^^^^int  out,  his  ansv/er  is  determined  by  his 
metar^rilfysics.  Thej^f^ve  me  a  much  better  idea,  too,  of  your 
intention  in  your  Theorie --to  follow  the  thread  of  pleasfüre 
and  Toain  into  all  those  cultural  and  philosopical  areas  from 
which  it  is  usually  excluded,  and  which  it  is  genera]/!yconsidered 
incapable  of  handling,  It»s  a  very  bold  enterprise,  aAd  I  think 
a  very  important  one.  Please  hurry  up  and  finish  it. 

This  brings  me  to  practical  problems.  Pleaee  call  on  me 
for  referencen  if  you  need  them  instead  of  going  to  all  the 
bother  of  getting  books  for  this  purpose  fron  New  York.  I  snend 
a  good  deal  of  my  time  in  libraries  anyway,  and  tracking  down 
a  reference  is  fun  for  me  rather  than  work.  As  for  the  general 
Problem  of  getting]^  books  from  Columbia,  it  occurred  to  rrB--or 
rather  to  Guig^ite,  to  whom  I  was  sped<:ing  about  the  >orohlem-- 
that  you  might  be  willing  to  pay  some  graduate  student  in  Columbia 
x^ho  Imew  German,  and  would  be  willing  to  act  as  a  J^ind  of  research 
assistant,  Jtli  vjrite  in  a  few  days  to  Jacob  Taubes  there  and  ask^ 
him  if  he  Imows  anybody  suitable;  this  would  take  a  great  load 
off  your  Shoulders.  Please  let  me  know  how  the  plans  about  moving, 
et.  al.  work  out. 

I  look  forward  from  hearing  from  you,  and  don»t  hesitate 
to  write  me  in  German.  I  know  you'll  wiah  to  comment  on  my 
comments,  and  German  will  make  it  easier  to  exr^ress  all  the 
nuances  of  your  thought.  Pondest  regards  to  Res  e.

have  done  rore  than  enough  for  ae  all   the  past  years« 

Pleaae  do  not  misunderstand  a«.      I  even  don»t  believe  it  nec- 
essary  that  this  preface  be  signed  or  translated.     So  you  would  do  a«  a 
great  favor  if  you  agreed  that  it  be  printed  and  be  done  vith.     Cr,   if  you 
would  prefer  not  being  aentioned  on   the  title  page,  under   the  preface  or 
«nywhcre  eise,    then,  perhaps,  all  naaes  of  the  editors   (your.s,   Ernest's  and 
Minkowski's)  could  be  omiite6^^^^^A.xiJ'^^r>Ji{«U^^A  ^^-^^ '^'^ 

Ernest  thought  "Horizons  of  a  philosopher"  %«uld  be  a  tolerable 
title  for   the  voluae.     But   it  r.eensito  ae  that  even  thie   is  not  needed. 
"Testisonial  Voluoe"  mlght  be  quite  sufficient. 

It  is  absurd  and,  natural ly,  aost  erab«»rasring  to  ae  to  harass 
you  with  all  thepe  odd  ouestlons  while  you  are  in  the  aidst  of  an  only  too 
exciting  civil  war  and  are  overburdened  with  faaily  duties,     But  Brill  is 
Pressing  for  coapletion  of  the  printing  job.     So,  unfortunately,    there  is 
nothing  left  for  ae  but   to   turn   to  you.     Once  aore,  pleas«  donU  aisinterprel 
ay  suggestioBs  and  let  ae  have  a  friendly  answer. 

How  I  would  prefer  to  discucs  with  you  how  far  Dostoefsky  »to- 
«orbed  Schilling,  De  I*  Mennais   (")  and  Schiller  (•»). 

In  a  hurry,   love  froa  Rose  and  ae  to  all  of  you

DEPARTMENT  OF  COMPARATIVE  LITERATURE 


NEW  BRUNSWICK.  NEW  JERSEY 


Nov.  19,  1962 


Dearest  David: - 


I  know  I  should  have  written  you  long  before  this,  but 
I  foimd  after  arrivlng  at  Rutgers  tlmt  I  had  much  raore  to  do 
than  I  expected  and  have  been  immersed  up  to  now  in  an  absolute 
whirlwind  of  work.  Por  one  thing,  I  had  to  spend  all  my  spare 
time  getting  the  manuscript  of  my  volume  of  essays  ^.mtmälmf^ 
ready  f6r  publication.  It  id.ll  be  appearing  in  the  Spring,  pub- 
lished  by  the  Rutgers  Press,  and  it  required  about  a  month  and 
a  half  to  get  it  into  shape.  Moreover,  having  absolute  freedom 
in  my  co\irse  work,  I  gave  myself  a  staggering  amount  of  reading 
to  do.  It^s  int  eres  ting,  but  exhausting. 

In  any  case,  I«ve  often  thought  of  you  and  am  finally 
getting  off  this  note  (it»ll  have  to  be  little  more  than  that^ 
in  expectation  of  a  raeeting  in  the  very  near  future.  It»s 
difficult  to  get  away  alone  for  all  sorts  of  reasons,  and  to 
bring  the  children  would  be  exhausting  and  perhaps  bothersome 
for  conversation  (but  we  may  finally  have  to  do  that).  In  any 
case,  Guiguite^s  mother  should  be  Coming  to  Visit  us  in  a  few 
weeks;  and  perhaps  then  I  can  get  away  over  a  weekend  to  come 
and  Visit  you.  I  might  stay  the  night  in  some  hotel  in  Long 
Beach,  and  that  would  give  us  plenty  of  time  to  talk. 

How  are  you,  dear  David,  and  how  is  your  wor]c  going?  I 
am  impatient  to  kno\V  Have  you  published  anythj^^'  recently? 
And  if  so,  why  haven't  I  received  a  copy  of  it?  How  is  your 
health?  I  hope  very  well  indeed.  And  what  has  become  odthe 
Festschrift?  ^ 

My  own  work  has  beai  going  well,  though  I  had  to  stop 
working  on  my  Dostoevsky  on  arriving  here^  to  begin  to  teac^h. 
However,  I  have  practically  ideal  conditions  of  teaching  and 
hope  to  get  b^acJJ  to  writing  farily  soon.  Por  the  moment,  I 
am  jeflftHitas  some  of  the  material  I  wrote  last  year  for  publica- 
tion as  articles. 

Please  answer  very  soon,  and  give  my  best  regards  to 
Rose.  Itm  impatient  to  hear  from  you,  and  will,  I  promise, 
come  and  Visit  just  as  soon  as  it  can  be  done.

•   V/armest   thanks   for  your  splendid   essay  on  Malraux*      I  have 
learned  so  much   from  it    that   I  should   love   to    talk  with  you   about    it   for 
hours.     Hepe  are  only  a   few  hasty  notes   after   the    first  reading*      If   this 
ma^ificent  piece  of  writing  is  not  yet  printed,   please  consider   these 
trifles   for  a  moment  or   dismiss    them  as   evidence  of  my   interest  in  even 
negligible  details* 

On  page  4  I   should  prefer   instead  of   "elegant   deformations"  of  Byzan- 
tine  Art   "challengingly   expressive"  deformations  or  something  like   that.  On 
page   33f    line   3f:   much  as   I  dislike  Spengler 's  Jahre  der  Entscheidung  and 
though   I  ara  certainly  not  a  blind  admirer  of   the "Unter gang",    I,   personally, 
should  not  say   "various  more  respec table   types"  but  simply   "various  other 
types".     Main   lines   of  Spengler 's  morphology  seem   to  me  quite  respec^table» 
On  p*34,    I  should  like  to   bring  in   that  Pustel  de   Coulanges^   La  cite  antique, 
1864,    also   emphasizes    the  relation  /of  everything  in  ancient   Greece  and  Koobk 
Rome/    "to   the  religious   and   the  sacred";   yet  he  stressed   that  all    this    is 
utterly  allen   to  us,   while  Nietzsche    (who  most   likely  had  never  heard  of   the 
great  French  historian)  made  füll  use  of  his  new  historical   insights    for  his 
own   thought  and   the  esthetics  of  his    time. 

Most  of  all,   how  I   vish   to   go   into  a  füll   discussion  of  pp.35ff  after 
the  excellently  Condensed  remark:    "Modern  art"   is   revealed  by  Malraux  to   be 
"an  unprecedented   effort    to   restore  art*s   immemorial  link  with    the  sacred 
in  a  desacralizediWorld"#     Perhaps   you   could   find  here  something  useful  out 
of  my   "^eorie"  wnere   I  say   in   the  chapter  on   the  philosopJyof  religion 
that   the  belief  in   the  existence  of  God    (or  gods)    is    the  greatest  possible 
religious  blasphemy   .      The  sacred  does  not   exist  any  more   than  any   things   or 
events   in  Husserl's  phenomonologie  vhere   they  are    "engeklammert"   in  order   to 
reveal  only  phenomena  of  pure  meaning. 

And  out  of  my   chapter   on   the   tragic   concerning  the  most  ambiguous   con- 
cept  of  freedom:   As   long  as  man   submits    to   a  religion  of  bloodshed  making 
human  sacrifices    to   Gtod  or  to   gods,   he  remains  unfree  and  a  slave   to   super- 
stition#     But   inasfar  as  he  is   able  to  summon   the  vi|[or   to   conjure  and   face 
human  suffering  in  art  or   drauma,    "so  weit  schaft   er  sich  frei";   he  frees  uld 
elevates  himself  actively  above  merely  passive  suffering  —   that  spiritually 
dumb  suffering  which  probably  can  never  be   transcended  by  any  animal   or  any 
sentimental,   weak  human  animal  unable   to   create  or    to  understand   the   inten- 
tional  creation  of  suffering  in  art  and  literature.      But  let  me  stop   as   I 
feel   I  can   clarify   these  matters  only   in  detailed   talk  with  you. 
Once  again,    love  from  both  of  us   to  all  of  you

Dearest  Joe:  '" 

Wärmest   thanks   for  your  splendid   essay  on  Malraux.      I  have 
learned  so  inuch   from  it   that   I  should  love   to    talk   with  you   about   it   for 
hours.      Here  are  only  a  few  hasty  notes   after   the   first  reading.      if   this 
ma^ßnificent  piece  of  writing  is  not  yet  printed,   please  consider   these 
trifles   for  a  Tnonient  or  dismiss    them  as   evidence  of  my  interest  in  even 
negligible  details* 

On  p.4   I  should  prefer   instead  of   *^elegant  deformations"  of 

Byzantine  Art    ^challengingly  expressive"  deformations  or  something  like  that, 
On  p.33,    line   3ff   nmch  as   I   dislike  Spengler 's  Jahre  der  Entscheidung  and 
though   I  am  certainly  not   a  blind  admirer  of   the   "Untergang",   I,   personally, 
should  not  say   "various  more  respectable   types"  but  simply    "various  other 
types".      Main   lirjes  of  Spengler •s  morphology  seem   to  me  quite  respectkble. 
On  p.34f    I   .^hould  like   to   bring  in   that  Fustel  de  Coulanges*   La  cite^antique, 
1864,    also   erophasizes    the  relation  f^f  everything  in  ancient   Greece  and 
Roine/    "to   the  religious  and   the  sacred";   yet  he  stressed   that  all    this    is 
utterly  allen   to  us,   while  Nietzsche   (who  most   likely  had  never  heard  of   the 
great  ?rench  historian)  made  füll  use  of  his  new  historical   insights   for  his 
own   thought  and   the  esthetics  of  his   time.     

Most  of  all,   how  I  wish    to   go   into   a   füll   discussion  of  pp.35ff 
excellently  Condensed  reraark:    '•Modern  art"  is   revealed  by  Malraux 
unprecedentod  effort   to  restore  art^s    immemorial  link  with    the 
a  desacralized  world".     Perhaps  you   could   find  here  something 
t  of  my   "Theorie"  where   I  say   in    the  chapter  on   the  philosophy  of 
that   the  belief  in   the   existence  of  God   (or  gods)   is   the  greatest 
religious   blasphemy,      The  sncred  does  not  exist  any  more   than  any 

events   in  Husserl's  phenomonology  where   they  are  "engeklammert" 
to  reveal  only  phenomena  of  pure  meaning. 

And  out  of  my  chapter  on   the   tragic  concerning  the  most  am- 


after  the 
to  be  "an 
sacred  in 
useful  ou 
religion 
possible 
things  or 
in  Order 


biguous   concept  of  freedom:      As   long  as  man  subraits   to  a  religion  of  blood- 
shei  making  human  sacrifices   to   God  or   to  gods,  he  remains  unfree  and  a 
slave   to   superstitution.      But  inasfar  as  he  is  able  to  sumr.on  the  vigor  to 
conjure  and  face  human  suffering  in  art  or  drama,    "so  weit  schaft   er  sich 
frei";  he  frees  and  elevates  himself  actively  above  raerely  passive  suffer- 
ing     that  spiritually  dumb  suffering  which  probably  can  never  bc  trans- 

scended  by  any  animal  or  any  sentimental,   weak  human  animal  unable  to 
create  or   to  understand   the  intentional  creation  of  suffering  in  art  and 
literature.      But  let  me  stop  as   I   feel   I  can   calrify   these  matters  only 
in  detailed   talk  with  you.

The  Fleetwood,   Long  Beach,   L.I.,NY  -  6/15/63 

Dearest  Joe:    immediately  aftor  you  had   left  I   read  your  splendid  pieceon 
Tchernychevski 's   novel  with    the  greatest  ple&sure;and  being  infected  at 
least  durin,F   the   time  of  my  reading  by   the  silly  program  of  •'reasonable 
egoism"  I   congratulated  myself  on  having  picked  up   for    the  Festschrift 
first  with  a  bad  conscience  part  of  your  chapter  on  Chernychevski.    Thou^ 
I  am  a  super   ignoramj^us    (on   TV   they  already    talk  ancp  about  super  guests   in 
Miami   i*e*   — ),   I  must  have  sensed   that   there   is   some  dynamite  in   the  Eise 
of    the  Raznochintsy. 

June  22i    Wärmest  thanks   for   the  reference   to  Augustine  and  your   copy 
of   the  Anthropologie  which  arrived  yesterday. 

Meanwhile,  I  have  wei^ed  your  three  comments  on  my  chapter 
(the  smallest  of  the  whole  book)  and  want  to  make  füll  use  of  them«  But 
before   that   I  should   like   to    talk  about   it    with  you. 

I  shall    try    to  sharpen   the   concept  of  reconciliation,    though 
I  have  already  written  v*iat  Malraux  and  others  say   ^'that    the  mere  fact  of 
being  able    to  represent  horror  shows   a  mastf^ry  of  it   to   a  cortain  extent" 
But  as   far  as  reconciliation  means    that  there   is   only  seeming  horror,    I  am 
afmid  you  hava     first   to   convert  me   that   this  type  of   reconciliation    is 
needed   in   the   tragic. 

I  notice  with   great  pleasure   that  since  you  have  become  an 
educator,   pedagogical   regards   concern  you   very  much  and  rightly  so.   And 
on   this   point  we  certainly  agree,   as   I  already  wrote  in   the  chapter  on   the 
tragic    "Gunsmoke;*  etc,   has   nothing  whatsoever    to   do   with    tragedy.  On   the 
contrary,    if  such  heroes  kill   each  other,    they   do    the  best   thing   they  are 
capable  of ,   and   it   is   only   enjoyable  and  not   tragic.      As   one  of  my  students 
obseived  after  Hitler  had  murdered  all    those  friends   to^whotn  he  owed  his 
earliest  rise,    ''on   this  point  I   fully  agree  with    the  Fahrer.     He  should  re- 
peat   this   bloodbath  every  weekend.'^ 

Now,   may   I   bother  you   with   a  bit  of    "reconciliation  of  some- 
thing  unquestionably  *ragic.      The  son  of  a  friend  of  my  friend,    the  paintres 
Curtis,   sent  me  some  of  his  papers  on  Freud,   Jung  and  j^my  late  old   friend 
and  colleague,    the  psychologist)  Kurt  Levtin#.      The   teacher  of  the  young  man 
4t  Johns  Hopkins  observed  on    the  photostat    "VByy  good"  and   the  three  pieces 
seerc   to  me,    too,    intelligent  and  well   documented.      The  young  man,    Eric 
Artzt,   applied  for  admission   to    the  University  of  Minnesota  for  his  Ph.D. 
but  as  yet  received  no   answer.      Therefore  he   turned   to   me   for  help  and  I

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt: 

Your  friend  Dr.  Sternglass  was  thoughtful  in  letting 
me  (know)  of  the  turn  events  have  taken  in  your  affairs.   I  know 
you  need  not  be  told  what  I  would  do  at  once,  had  I  the  power  or 
the  means-,   But  you  must  let  me  teil  you  how  deeply  I  feel  for  you 
and  how  eagerly  I  shall  bestir  myself  to  do  what  lies  in  my  limited 
powers  to  do.   I  wont  bore  you  by  reminding  you  of  the  way  in  which 
my  Job  circumscribes  my  freedom  of  action  and  my  opportunities  for 
intervention, 

I  at  once  communicated  with  our  friend  Archibald  MacLeish, 
and  he  was  as  saddened  by  the  111  news  as  I  am.  He  is  bestirr ing 
himself,and  something,  perhaps,  may  come  of  these  efforts. 

I  shall  not  be  so  stupid  as  to  attempt  words  of  encourage- 
ment.  But  you  must  let  me  teil  you  the  deep  esteera  in  which  I  hold' 
you  —  your  noble  spirit  as  well  a?  your  wide  and  deep  intellectual 

distinction.   With  every  good  wish, 

Most  sincerely,

July  17,  1954 


My  dear  Mr.  Justice: 


in  the 
the  Chief 
in  writing 
to  you  by 


I  just  sent  a  small  trecitise  on  Maimonides  to 
the  Indian  Institute  of  Culture  which  had  asked  me  to  do  so  on  the 
occasion  of  the  750th  annivcrsary  of  his  death.   ix.  it  1  caUed 
attention  to  the  fact  that  this  bold  medieval  thinker  defied  powcr- 
ful  opponents  to  the  same  extent  to  which  he,  a  :ain  an<f  ;■•  .in,  en- 
couraged  humble,  dishoartened  scholars.   Your  letter  of  July  13th 
which  just  reached  me  certainlj'  breathes  the  spirit  of  this  great 
tridltion.   My  wärmest,  heartfelt  thanks  for  ever,.  word  of  it; 

The  abolishment  of  my  consultantship 
Libraxj,  of  Congross  is  a  cruel  blow  to  tae  and,  I  think, 
Assistant  Librarian,  Mr.  Verner  W.  Clapp,  realizes  this 
me  unsolicitedly:  "Please  believe  that  the  letter  sent 
Mr.  Mason  On  July  14,  1954  was  not  a  perfunctory  cominunication, 
representin^r  no  human  feeling.  This  whole  business  is  extremely 
painful  to  us.   We  shall  do  our  best  to  find  an  adjubtment. " 

.   ^  My  dear  friend  Dorothy  Canfiold  xisher,  who  afttr 

havinc  suffered  a  strokc  last  December  is  adr-irably  active  a,--ain, 
is  trying  at  present  to  arrange,  through  friends,  for  a  chair  of 
philosophy  andiclitical  ideology  at  the  Library  of  Congress  —  a 
chair  iinanced  by  a  private  donor  which  could  be,  of  cour.-e,  also 
the  Rockefeller  Foundation  or  Ford  Foundation.   This  would  be  ideal, 
as  ray  love  of  our  national  Library  has  ever  increased  durin^  the 
13  yoars  of  my  Service;  and  for  any  assistance  you  could  kiiidly 
give  me  in  this  regard  I  should  be  especially  grateful, 

But  if  this  proves  to  be  imposcible,  the  most 
reasonablc  Solution  of  my  problem,  I  feel,  would  be  thr  concentrition 
on  my  writing.   My  history  of  modern  ethics  into  which  I  have  alreadv 
placed  a  considcrable  amount  of,  I  think,  very  valuablo  uuknown 
material  and  my  own  "Theorie  des  Lebenssinns"  should  be  completed 
1?  *^^  not  too  aistant  future.   But  both  are  larger  entorpriaers 
than  the  "Bentham"  and  thus  I,  unfortunately,  need  lAirther  financial 
Support  for  this.  Do   you  think  that  the  Bollingen  Foundation  and 
Mr.(flU->rns  would  be  inclined  to  assist  me  again? 

.  Needless  to  say  how  thankful  I  am  to  you  for 

having  written  Irofessor  MacLeish  on  my  account.   I  only  hopr  you 
will  not  mind  my  mentioning  other  feasible  attempts  or  efforts  al- 
ready  made  to  help  me. 

ilrnest  Stern^iass  is  quite  am  unusMly  gifted 
young  physicist  of  whora  Louis  üe  RroA-lie  and  others  think  very 
nighly.   1  was  completely  taken  by  surprise  hearing  from  you  that 
he  had  written  you  on  my  behalf.   I  certainly  would  have  oiscouraged 
him  Irorr.  troublmg  you  on  my  account.   But  now  that  he  has  written 
you  wituout  my  knowledge,  entirely  on  his  own  initiative,  1  cani.ot

As  From  214  Massachusetts  Avenue, N  E 

Washington  2,  B.C. 


September  11,  19^4 


My  dear  Mr.  Justice: 

I  was  determined  to  trouble  you  as 
littie  as  possible  with  my  present  difficulties  during 
your  vacation  and  only  therefore  did  not  answer  your . 
last  kind  letter  much  earlier. 

Meanwhile  I  had  to  realize  that  there 
IS  no  Chance  of  a  continuation  of  ray  consultantship  at 
the  Libr;;iry  of  Congres^  despite  Mr.  Clapp's  assurance 
of  July  15th  that  "we  shall  do  our  best  to  find  an  adjust- 
raent".   In  spite  of  all  my  efforts,  I  am  unable  to  grasp 
properly  why  my  work  is  now  thought  non-essential  after 
it  had  been  praised  for  thirteen  years  within  and  outside 
the  Library  and  had  led  to  promotion  by  two  degrees  up  to 
the  best  available  non-adminis trative  level. 

I  hope  you  will  not  think  me  self-pitying 

if  I  confess  that  all  this  gives  me  n  feeling  of  intell- 

ectual  homelessness  which,  in  the  interest  of  my  writing 

and  my  whole  life,  I  had  hoped  to  overcome  forever  after 

the  catastrophe  of  twenty  years  ago.  And  I  wish  to  fight 

this  gloom  as  decisively  as.  possible.   .  .     ^  xi^   m   i. 

°  I  rememter  tnat  tne  meetmg  of  the  Trustees 

of  the  Bollingen  Foundation,  which  granted  me  a  fellowship 

before,  took  place  rather  early  in  the  fall  and,  as  you 

will  imagine,  it  certainly  would  give  me  the  greatest  re- 

lief  if  you  would  kindly  ask  Dr.  Cairns  whether  there  is 

some  hope  of  another  grant  for  my  history  of  modern  ethics. 

Please  forgive  me,  therefore,  for  troubling  you  now  with 

what  you  so  very  helpfully  suggested  in  your  last  letter. 

Mrs.  Fisher  asked  mje  to  convey  her  "wärmest 
and  most  friendly  greetings"  to  you.   Her  husband  and  she 
had  invited  me  in  June  but  I  stayod  with  them  only  for  a 
week  this  year  and  feit  that  now  she  should  have  no  guests 
at  all.   Yet,  her  letters  —  many  of  them  in  her  firm  and 
beautiful  handwriting  —  are  as  lively,  vigorous  and  per- 
ceptive  as  ever.   She  has  tried  to  arrange  qaite  a  number 
of  things  for  me.   But,  unfortunately ,  we  both  realize 
that  so  far  no  Solution  of  my  difficulties  has  been  found. 

Once  again,  my  wärmest  and  lasting  thanks 
for  all  your  most  active  syrapathy,

Sonic  judgineiits  about  Woodrow  Wilson  may  be 
expressed  with  certitude.  Not  that  the  passions  he 
aroused  in  bis  own  day  are  spcnt.  Idolators  and  detrac- 
tors  are  still  about.  But  whatever  may  be  the  fluetuations 
of  historical  verdict,  Wilson  will  surely  join  the  Company 
(the  Father  of  bis  Country  apart)  of  bis  thrce  greatest 
predecessors — Jefferson,  Jackson,  and  Lincoln.  This  dis- 
tinction  can  hardly  be  based  on  what  has  appealingly  been 
laid  down  as  the  final  test  of  Presidential  greatness:  "to 
be  enshrined  as  a  folk  hero  in  the  American  consciousness/' 
There  appears  no  foreknowledge  that  Wilson  will  attain 
such  a  homely  and  endearing  significance  in  the  feelings 
of  the  American  people.  His  stature  in  the  history  of  bis 
country  derives  from  the  fact  that  he  permanently  influ- 
enced  the  direction  of  its  affairs  both  within  itself  and 
in  its  global  relations.  (It  ought  to  be  noted  that  Presi- 
dent Theodore  Roosevelt,  even  more  than  President 
McKinley,  first  took  the  United  States  into  the  world.)

Some  judgments  about  Woodrow  Wilson  may  be 
expressed  with  certitude.  Not  that  the  passions  he 
aroused  in  his  own  day  are  spent.  Idolators  and  detrac- 
tors  are  still  about.  But  whatever  may  be  the  fluctuations 
of  historical  verdiet,  Wilson  will  surely  join  the  Company 
(the  Father  of  his  Country  apart)  of  his  three  greatest 
predecessors— Jefferson,  Jackson,  and  Lincoln.  This  dis- 
tinction  can  hardly  be  based  on  what  has  appealingiy  been 
laid  down  as  the  final  test  of  Presidential  greatness:  ''to 
be  enshrined  as  a  folkhero  in  the  American  consciousness." 
There  appears  no  foreknowledge  that  Wilson  will  attain 
such  a  homely  and  endearing  significance  in  the  feelings 
of  the  American  people.  His  stature  in  the  history  of  his 
country  derives  from  the  fact  that  he  permanently  influ- 
enced  the  direction  of  its  aflfairs  both  within  itself  and 
in  its  global  relations.  (It  ought  to  be  noted  that  Presi- 
dent Theodore  Roosevelt,  even  more  than  President 
McKinley,  first  took  the  United  States  into  the  world.) 

Wilson's  place  in  world  history  is  tied  to  the  fate  of  the 
ideal  for  the  promotion  of  which  he  gave  his  life — organ- 
ized  peace.  If  it  be  the  destiny  of  mankind  increasingly 
to  ad  just  by  rational  methods  the  inevitable  clash  and 
confusion  of  interests  among  the  different  peoples  of  the 
world,  however  agonizing  the  travail  and  checkered  the 
efforts,  Woodrow  Wilson 's  name  will  surely  be  recognized 
as  one  of  the  most  eloquent  and  resolute  Promoters  of 
such  a  consumniation.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  an  era  more 
ghastly  than  the  Dark  Ages  is  to  be  the  lot  of  man,  Wil- 
son's  fame  will  be  obscured  by  it  and  his  name  will  survive 
only  as  a  nourishing  hope  to  those  who  will  start  anew  the

Academic  Background 

Woodrow  Wilson  is  the  only  man  who  came  to  the 
Presidency  not  from  the  world  of  affairs  but  from  Aca- 
deme.  His  governorship  of  New  Jersey  was  a  brief  episode 
in  his  life  as  scholar  and  university  President.  But  while 
he  was  a  novice  in  pohtics,  it  is  not  the  least  striking 
evidence  of  Wilson's  extraordinary  self-direction  that  he 
is  one  of  the  few  men  to  attain  the  Presidency  who 
planned  it  that  way.  Though  he  was  a  dedieated  scholar 
and  a  prolific  author,  after  a  brief,  unhappy  attempt  at 
the  law,  his  reputation  as  a  scholar,  barring  only  a  single 
book — his  first,  Congressional  Government — would  but 
for  the  Presidency  have  been  ephenieral.  His  political 
philosophizings,  conveyed  through  agreeable  essays,  were 
dilutions  more  than  distillates  of  Burke  and  Bagehot,  his 
acknowledged  masters.  To  suggest  that  in  weighty  learn- 
ing  he  was  exceeded  by  the  two  Adamses  and  that  Jeffer- 
son's  intellectual  legacy  to  pohtical  thought  far  outweighs 
Wilson's  is  not  to  dispraise  him.  Nor  would  his  headship 
of  Princeton  University  have  given  him,  with  all  due 
regard  to  the  introduction  of  the  preceptorial  System  and 
the  general  ferment  that  he  imparted  to  major  educa- 
tional  Problems,  the  enduring  reputation  of  President 
Gilman  of  Johns  Hopkins  or  President  Eliot  of  TIarvard. 

A  Strong  Leader 

These  qualified  achievements  in  the  life  of  his  choice 
make  all  the  more  striking  the  speed  with  which  he  as- 
serted  resolute  and  effective  executive  leadership  in  the 
White  House.  He  did  this  dramatically  at  the  very  out- 
set  of  his  administration  by  appearing  before  Congress 
on  April  8,  1913,  in  person,  thereby  reviving  a  practice 
which  Jefferson  had  allowed  to  lapse  because  he  lacked 
the  gifts  of  a  public  Speaker.  Throughout  his  administra- 
tions,  until  he  was  stricken,  Wilson  was  the  focus  of  gov- 
ernmental power.  He  is  the  classic  example  of  strong 
executive  leadership  in  discharging  the  responsibilities  of 


t 


I    N. 


—  3  — 

the  vast  power  inherent  in  the  mere  existence  of  a  nation 
hke  the  United  States  as  w^ell  as  of  the  need  for  Lincolnian 
forbearance  and  conipassionate  wisdom  with  which  it  must 
be  exercised  to  avoid  obstructive  Opposition  by  Congress. 

This  is  not  the  occasion  to  speak  in  detail  of  Wilson's 
domestic  poUcies  and  achievements.  The  ominous  con- 
centration  of  economic  power  following  the  Civil  War 
and  the  disregard  of  its  social  implications  started  reform 
movements  to  which  Theodore  Roosevelt  gave  national 
expression.  Further  impulse  to  these  efforts  was  furnished 
by  the  frustrations  and  resistance  aroused  by  Taft 's  le- 
thargic  adnynistration.  President  Wilson  put  himself  at 
the  head  of  these  reforms. 

In  his  concern  with  these  domestic  issues,  Wilson  was 
'  on  more  or  less  familiär  ground.  But  witli  sombre  pre- 
monition  he  remarked  shortly  before  going  to  Washing- 
ton, 'It  would  be  the  irony  of  fate  if  my  administration 
had  to  deal  chiefly  with  foreign  affairs.''  His  fear  was 
promptly  fulfilled.  Mexico,  China,  Japan,  the  Philippine 
Islands,  and  Nicaragua  presented  exigent  diificulties 
which,  wrote  Ray  Stannard  Baker,  his  admiring  biog- 
rapher, ^'he  approached  with  httle  actual  knowledge  of 
conditions."  And  some  even  more  deeply  rooted  and 
obdurately  tangled  European  confliets  of  interests  and 
appetites  could  not  be  kept  away  by  the  separating  At- 
lantic, and  he  had  also  shown  little  concern  for  these 
historic  confliets  and  their  contemporaneous  persistence. 

Entry  Into  War 

From  the  outset,  he  was  determined  not  to  become 
embroiled  in  the  ensuing  First  World  War.  'The  people 
count  on  nie,''  he  said,  "to  keep  them  out  of  war."  But 
it  hopelessly  misses  the  nature  of  the  man  to  find  explana- 
tion  for  this  attitude  in  pusillanimity  or  in  a  pacifistic 
shrinking  from  the  shedding  of  blood.  Even  as  did  Lin- 
coln in  the  midst  of  the  Civil  War  look  beyond  to  the 
inevitable  day  of  settlement,  so  Wilson  in  his  way  wanted 
to  preserve  for  the  world  the  power  of  "disinterested  influ- 


■\ 


—  4  — 

ence  over  the  settlemenf'  which  the  United  States  as  a 
non-combatant  would,  in  his  opinion,  be  capable  of 
exerting. 

**By  slow  merciless  degrees,  against  his  dearest  hopes, 
against  his  gravest  doubts  ...  he  was  forced  to  give  the 
Signal  he  dreaded  and  abhorred."  This  summary  by  Sir 
Winston  Churchill  of  the  process  by  which  President  Wil- 
son asked  Congress  for  a  declaration  of  war  is,  if  one  may 
say  so,  an  accurate  analysis.  *^But  nothnig/^  Sir  Winston 
continues,  "can  reconcile  what  he  said  after  March,  1917, 
with  the  guidance  he  had  given  before.  What  he  did  in 
April,  1917,  could  have  been  done  in  May,  1915."  Could 
it?  The  remoteness  in  feeling  of  the  American  people, 
even  apart  from  its  multi-racial  population,  about  the 
European  imbroglio,  made  it  necessary  for  Wilson  to  have 
a  substantially  united  country  behind  hini  whenever  the 
force  of  circumstances,  greater  than  his  own  determina- 
tion,  should  leave  him  no  choice.  Once  Wilson  concluded 
that  imperial  Germany  was  an  international  criminal  all 
his  doubts  and  scruples  against  entering  the  contest  as  a 
belligerent  were  gone.  It  can  hardly  be  gainsaid  that 
w^hen  the  time  arrived  he  was  as  cleansed,  and  convinced 
the  nation  that  he  was  as  cleansed,  of  narrowly  interested 
or  vainglorious  motives  as  any  statesman  that  took  his 
nation  to  war. 

Aivis  and  Ideals 

Wilson,  like  Lincoln,  could  not  separate  the  effective 
conduct  of  a  war  from  its  aims.  The  generous  and  noble 
terms  in  which  he  expressed  those  aims  sustained  the 
fighting  spirit  of  tired  peoples  and  fiUed  the  whole  world 
with  hope.  He  came  to  be  regarded  with  an  adulation, 
indeed  veneration,  that  should  have  been  frightening  to 
a  mere  mortal.  It  was  not  calculated  to  temper  his  feel- 
ings  of  self-sufficiency.  Nor  did  it  tend  to  enlarge  his 
appreciation  of  old  antagonisms  and  newly  whetted  ap- 
petites  of  the  war-weary  European  combatants.  He  was 
confident  that  he  could  project,  as  C.  P.  Scott  put  it,  his 


—  5  — 

ideological  Images  onto  the  world  at  large  and  give  them 
international  vaUdity.  As  merely  an  '^associated  power," 
and  not  an  *'ally,"  he  was  heedless  of  the  self-seeking  com- 
niitments  made  among  the  "allies."  He  was  confident 
that  with  the  support  he  had  aroused  in  peoples  every- 
where,  the  vision  of  his  will  would  subordinate  all  lesser 
interests,  and  so  he  kept  himself ,  as  he  thought,  free  from 
all  arrangements  for  the  eventual  settlement  while  he 
wielded  indispensable  military  power. 

When  the  time  came  for  translating  his  hopes  into  a 
treaty,  he  surely  started  with  a  fatal  mistake  by  going 
to  Paris  in  person.  In  Washington  he  could  thunder  from 
Sinai.  In  Paris  he  was  only  one  among  a  group  of  negotia- 
tors,  negotiators  better  equipped  and  much  more  expe- 
rienced  in  the  art.  Wilson 's  share  in  the  Paris  peace  talks 
embroils  one  in  all  the  perplexities  of  his  person ality. 
The  sophisticated  artist  in  Maynard  Keynes  may  have 
overdrawn  his  famous  portrait  of  Wilson  at  the  Paris 
Peace  Conference ;  a  caricature  it  is  not.  Woodrow  Wilson 
was  a  Presbyterian  Covenantor.  He  had  vision  and  deter- 
mination,  but  he  repressed  any  sense  he  may  have  had 
of  the  *'many-colored  passions  of  life."  Lincoln,  too, 
might  have  refused  to  visit  the  battlefield  at  Verdun, 
but  he  would  not  have  done  so  with  self-righteous 
brusqueness. 

The  man  who  deemed  Walter  Bagehot  a  "seer"  paid 
little  heed  to  Bagehot's  central  recipe  for  a  liberal  So- 
ciety— namely,  that  it  be  a  *^polity  of  discussion,"  and  this 
though  phrases  hke  *'the  common  counsel  of  the  nation" 
and  ^^laying  mind  against  mind"  w^re  frequently  on  his 
tongue.  Wilson  said  of  himself  that  "seeing  people  debili- 
tates  me."  Devoted  as  he  undoubtedly  was  to  mankind, 
he  kept  aloof  from  personal  contacts.  His  Secretary  of 
State  had  to  beg  for  an  interview  and  his  ambassador  to 
London  waited  for  five  weeks  in  Washington  before  he 
could  see  his  chief.  His  dosest  confidant  and  the  most 
obeisant  servant  of  his  master,  Colonel  House,  never  could 
discover  why  he  was  cast  into  limbo.    Wilson  was  guided 


If 


—  6  — 

by  an  inner  light,  and  an  inner  light  whieh  he  too  often 
failed  to  vouehsafe  to  those  whose  devotion  he  most 
cherished.  Thus,  Secretary  of  War  Newton  D.  Baker, 
his  favourite  Cabinet  meniber,  did  not  know  of  the  deci- 
,sion  in  the  ill-starred  Siberian  enterprise  until  he  was 
asked  to  sign  the  formal  order  for  moving  the  troops, 
although  Baker  was  known  to  view  the  mihtary  justifica- 
tion  for  such  action  as  baseless  and  its  poHtical  conse- 
quences  dangerous. 

Ivipaired  Judgment? 

To  these,  at  least  as  yet,  inseru table  aspects  of  Wilson ^s 
nature,  w^e  must  look  for  explanation  of  the  defeat  of  his 
own  greatest  cause,  the  Organization  of  peace  through 
agencies  and  processes  of  reason,  of  which  the  Covenant 
of  the  League  of  Nations  was  to  be  the  great  instrument. 
Whatever  the  ups  and  downs  of  historical  verdicts,  it  will 
be  surprising  if  there  should  ever  be  substantial  disagree- 
ment  from  the  conclusion  of  President  Charles  Seymour 
,  of  Yale  that  *'A  few  conciliatory  gestures  by  the  President 
would  have  sufficed  to  win  the  two-thirds  vote  necessary 
to  ratification/'  One  must  hazard  a  guess  that  Wilson 
had  an  impairment  of  his  vitality,  which  in  a  subtle  way 
affected  his  judgment,  long  before  his  breakdown  in 
September,  1919.  On  no  other  basis  can  one  explain  some 
of  his  errors — misjudgments  of  a  kind  alien  to  his  habit 
and  outlook — though  others  were  functions  of  his  nature* 

Temporarily  at  least  he  lost  his  cause.  But  Sir  Winston 
Churchill,  after  severe  criticism  of  President  Wilson 's 
part  at  Paris,  has,  with  characteristic  generosity,  written 
his  epitaph:  "However  as  Captain  he  went  down  with  his. 
ship.''

My  dear  gr.  Justice; 


Pleaso  lot  nie  not   bore  you  with   the  dctailcd 
report  of  why,    by   the  combined  efrorts  of   the  Post  Oliice  and 
ray  apartment  houoe,    I  received  your  addroKS  on  John  MjirshalL 
eo  unbelievably  late.     All   the  more,   you  will  understand,   I 
prize  its  possessioii, 

I*  ^'as  *  pricelesB  pleasure   to  be  enllghtened 
on   the   true  meaning  of  the  Buprerae  Oourt   by   this  m^sterly  Con- 
densed oration  of,   l  must   insist,    its   present  greatest  reore- 
sentltive.     Since  I   firat  heard  of  the  ephoraty  and  its     * 
American  counterpart  back   in  my  school  days   in   the  nineteenth 
Century,   I  have  had  a  special  laytnan  interest  in   the  Institu- 
tion. 

So,    in  admiration  of  tne  author  of  thia  survey 
of  the  Court 's   function  and  in  en.ioyment  of  the   instiltution's 
glory,   I  have  read  your  address    twice  already,   discovered  even 
a  misprint  on  paf^e  4  and  delighted  also   in  my  nei^rhbor's   delight 
aoout  your  lecture  —  an  attorney  who  did  not  raiss   the  opoortunity 
to  study  it  after   tne  postman  had  given  him  this   cnance. 

Needless   to  say   tnat   the  philosopher  is  eapec- 
lally  grateful   for  such  philosophically  illuminating  passages 
as   tnat  on  defliOc«acy  and  judicial   tutela^ie  on  page  Ib  and   that  on 
governtnent  and  law  on  page  23  as  well  as   for  all    the  graphic 
philosophical   evaiuations  of  concrete  cases  in   the  hiatory  of  the 
Court.     My  wärmest   thanks   for  this   rieh  gift  whicn  I   will  always

I  have  already  quoted   in  roy  coarses    the  state- 
raent  from  your  address   In  Memorium  Robert  li, Jackson  on  law  as 
oxpressing   "the  eniTorceaDle  insi-jhts  of  tcorality".     And  although 
I  know  that  you  are  no  less  on  your  guard  against   the  danger  of 
uncritical  nietaphoric  lan,^age   than  Bentham,   may  I  mention   to 
you  a  little  known  passage   in  Hayim  Steinthal »s  Allgemeine  Ethik. 
IH05,   p.138,   where  ~  in  speaking  of  Rudolf  von  Ihering's  simile, 
"das  Recht   ...    ist  ..   das   feste,   eiserne  ßeripoe  und  der  iiisenbe- 
schlag  der  Lebenszwecke"— ^'idds:    "Mir  gefätllt  dieses   Gleichnis  nicht 
besonders,   weil  es  gar  zu  «usserlich  IstJ  ich  törde  folgendes  wagen:

Much  ycun^er  men  as,   for   instance  Sigmund  Skard,  my  former —

to  promise  some  contribution   to    the  planned  Festschrift   for_

Unfortunately,   sh©  has  not  been  at  all 


well  since  last  spring.      She  had  a  second  heart  attack  and 

her  eyes  don't  allow  ncr   to   read  rauch.     Yet  her  letterc 

are  as  vigorous  as  ever  and  are  deeply  moving  in   the  warin th 
of  her  remember^iinces  of  the   innumerable  talks  rcy  ?ate   wif'.^

My  dear  Dr,   Sternglas s: 

I  regard  David  Baumgardt 
as  a  truly  noble  spirit  and  I  therefore 
rejoice  that  you  are  organizing  a  tes- 
timonial  voliime  in  honor  of  his  70th 
birthday.     It  grieves  me  not  to  be  able 
to  partake  in  this  salutation  to  him,   but 
the  pressures  of  my  duties  here  pre- 
clude. 

You  might  interest  Dr. 
Huntington  Cairns  at  the  National  Gal- 
le ry  in  writing  a  little  piece. 

With  every  good  wish  for  the 
success  of  your  enterprise, 


Sincerely  yours,

I 


Let  me  thank  you  ior  your  kind  note  and  i'or 
the  opportunity  you  afford  me  to  see  you.  I  would 
like  to  do  so  very  much. 

I  am  greatly  interested  in  Jeremy  Bentham 
who  seems  to  me  to  be  tiie  biggest  fi^iire  of  the 
nineteenth  Century  in  the  domain  of  law  reform  and 
sociology  generally« 

Unfortunately,  your  visit  coincides  v/ith  the 
worst  possible  time  for  me  because  Saturday  is  our 
Conference  day  and  that  is  followed  by  preoccupation 
in  work.  I  shall  however  arrange  to  squeeze  in  some 
little  time  and  I  wonder  if  you  could  arrange  to  be 
at  my  Chambers  at  i'our  thirty  when  we  could  have  a 


half  hour  togetiier« 


Sincerely  yours. 


Professor  David  Baumgardt.

Forgive  my  delay  in  acnov/ledging  your  kindness 
in  sending  me  the  enclosed  essay  which  I  read  with 
very  great  interest  indeed.   I  don't  have  to  assure 
you  of  ny  sympathy  with  the  lessons  you  draw  for  oior 
times  and  the  need  of  promoting  their  acceptance  in 
actio n. 

I  have  such  a  vast  amonnt  of  reading  to  do  in 
course  of  duty  that  I  have  not  yet  been  able  to  ex- 
amine  your  manuscript  on  Bentham.   I  hope  I  have  not 
thereby  discommoded  you.  I  will  surely  do  so  before 
I  leave  here  early  in  June.  I  shall  then  return 
your  manuscript.  I  wish  I  could  add  at  the  moment 
more  helpful  messages  than  those  of  good  wishes. 

Very  sincerely  yours,

Uy  dear  Dp»  Baumgardt: 


You  have  sent  me  two  things  recently  that  have  given 
me  great  pleasure*  I  read  with  warm  feeling  and  with  admiration 
of  the  dellcacy  of  your  Interpretation  your  recent  piece  on  the 
Blgnificance  of  the  old  prayer  for  the  bounties  of  our  food.  It 
was  charmingly  and,  if  I  may  say  so,  profoundly  done. 

And  now  comes  the  good  news  of  President  Hason's  warm 
Support  for  the  publication  of  your  Bentham,  His  view  of  the  sig- 
nificance  of  your  book  expresses  admirably  what  I  have  tried  to  con- 
vey  from  time  to  time,  I  hope  his  authoritative  judgment  will  con- 
vince  the  Princeton  üniversity  Press  of  the  high  opportunity  that  is 


theirs •

My  dear  Dr.  Baumgardt: 


Long  experience  with  Mr.  Moe  has  given  me  confidence  in 
the  highmindedness  of  his  purpose  and  that  makes  me  regret  the  more 
that  the  opportunity  has  not  been  given  you  to  produce  the  work  on 
Benthem  which  I  know  is  in  you.  But  then  I  do  not  know  whether  Moe 
himself  does  the  selecting. 

I  am,  as  you  know,  most  anxious  that  you  be  given  the  oppor- 
tunity which  you  wauld  so  fruitfully  employ.  Let  me  think  of  other 
possibilities  to  that  end. 

I  am  not  at  all  surprised  at  the  calls  you  have  had  from  the 
various  German  universities,  nor  am  I  surprised  that  you  have  declined 
them  and  have  decided  to  throw  in  your  lot  permanently  with  this  country. 
You  will  allow  me  to  say  that  this  country  is  the  gainer. 


With  every  good  wish, 


Sincerely  yours, 


P.  S.  Could  I  trouble  you  to  teil  me  the  Subvention  you  would  need  to 
enable  you  to  do  the  work  you  have  in  mind.

Many  thanks  for  what  you  call" such  trifles" 
which  I  am  sure  will  bring  refreshment  and  illumina- 
tion  to  my  mind,  as  your  writings  always  do.  I  shall 
read  them  at  the  earlies  opportunity« 

May  I  suggest  that  you  send  your  reprint 
on  Hildreth  to  young  Schlesinger  who  is  now,  as  you 
probably  know,  at  Harvard. 

It  will  of  course  be  a  pleasiire  for  me  to 
Support  your  application  for  a  Guggenheim  Fellowship. 

* 

You  are  therefore  free  to  give  me  as  a  Sponsor  and  in 
due  course  Dr.  Moe  will,  I  am  sxxre,  invite  my  views. 

With  every  good  wish, 

Sincerely  yours.

There  are  too  many  things  about  this  world  that  I  do 
not  understaud,  and  I  am  sorry  that  the  Guggenheim  Foundation 
has  to  add  thereto  what  is  to  me  their  inexplicable  failure  to 
grant  you  a  fellowship.  The  only  rational  hypothesis  I  can  give 
myself  is  that  those  fellowships  are  designed  for  the  encourage- 
ment  of  young  potential  scholars  -  man  of  promise  and  not  men  who 
have  already  achieved,  like  yourself • 

You  may  be  sure  that  I  shall  keep  you  actively  in  mind 
for  any  opportunities  that  are  open  to  make  possible  the  furtherance 
of  your  productive  scholarship* 

I  quite  agree  with  you  that  the  article  on  Bentham  in  The 
Times  Literary  Supplement  was  wholly  inadequate«

My  dear  Professor  Bauiügc.rat: 

You  put  me  linder  debt  in  letting  me  see  your 
penetrating  commentary  on  the  text  you  quote  from 
President  Roosevelt.  Wisdom  is  not  measurea  ty  the 
yard  or  liy   the  barrel*  And  you  prove  how  much  can  be 
conveyed  by  very  few  words, 

I  am  deeply  troubled  by  your  continuing  dii- 
i'iculty  and  I  wish  I  might  help.  The  only  thing  I 
can  do  is  to  support  Mrs.  Fisher's  efforts  with  Mr. 
MacLeish.  I  can  assure  you  that  there  is  no  man  who 
feels  the  plight  of  the  victimized  scholars  more  deeply 
and  no  one  more  anxious  to  translate  his  convlctions 
into  action,  but  one  cannot  do  everything  and  he  him- 
self  is  the  victim  of  circumstances«

Dear  Dr.   Baumgardt: 


August  5,    1955 


Your  letter  gladdens  and  saddens  me   -  happily  it  gladdens  me  more  than 


it  saddens  me. 

My  sadness  is  both  retrospective  and  contemporaneous.     It  pains  me  that 
your  years  of  devoted  and  fruitful  work  at  the  Library  should  have  had  such  meager 
acknowledgement.     But  I  am  particularly  sad  to  have  missed  the  opportunity  of  a 
face -to -face  talk  with  you  before  you  left  Washington.     Unfortunately,    I  have  been 
without  a  secretary  recently  and  have  spent  most  of  nny  time,    owing  to  my  wife's 
temporary  illness,    at  home.     During  the  course  of  the  years  I  have  seen  you  all 
too  rarely.     It  has  always  been  with  refreshment  to  my  soul. 

I  am  glad,    and  deeply  glad,    of  course,    that  you  will  have  the  opportunity 
at  Columbia  that  Professor  Everett  has,    with  a  scholar's  generosity  and  insight, 
made  possible  for  you.     I  hope  your  days  at  Columbia  -  and  may  they  be  very  long 
indeed  -  will  bring  you  the  peace  that  is  essential  for  the  best  thoughts  of  a  philos- 
opher.    The  opportunity  to  do  the  work  you  are    capable  of,    is,    I  know,    the  only 
ambition  which  you  entertain.     My  best  wishes  for  its  fulfillment.     I  look  forward 
to  your  future  writings  with  eagerness. 

With  every  good  wish.

Dear  Dr.  Eaumgardt: 

Your  letter,  which  I  deeply  appreciate,  gives  me  further 
evidence  of  the  quiet  gallantry  that  comes  from  great  devotion  to 

the  things  of  the  inind  and  spirit. 

I  rather  gather  from  what  Mr.  Clapp  has  written  you  that 
there  will  be  some  time  for  manjuvering  oefore  the  cruel  consequen- 
ces  of  what  Congress  thinks  of  as  ecomony  will  take,  at  least,  com- 
plete  eff 'Ct.  Am  I  wrong  in  thinking  that  this  is  so?   The  reason 
I  ask  is  in  order  to  determine  whether  I  should  conuiiunicute  with  Mr. 
Cairns  by  letter  er  wait  until  I  get  back  for  a  chance  to  talk  to  him, 
which  vdll  not  be  until  the  early  part  of  October. 

I  had  not  heard  of  Mrs.  Fisher's  misfortune  and  I  am  not  at 
all  surprised  that  no  stroke  could  incapacitate  her  ana  that  she  is 
"adinirably  active  agaln".  I  acsume  you  wil.  be  seeing  her  or  communica- 
ting  with  her.  Please  give  her  my  admiring  respects. 
With  every  good  wish  for  yourseif, 

Very  sincerely  yours, 

Dr.  David  Baumgradt.

Dear  Dr.    Baumgardt: 

I  am  afraid  I  overlooked 
the  desire  you  expressed  in  your  letter, 
the  other  day,to  use  my  name  with  Dr. 
Laski  of  Dar  Monat.     Of  course,    my 
name  is  at  your  disposal  whenever  and 
v^erever  you  have  occasion  to  make  use 


i 


of  it. 


Cordially  yours,

Deax  Dr.  Baumgardt: 

Your  klnd  words  about  my  address  on  John  Marshall  bring 
me  deep  satisfaction.   I  verily  believe  that  I  have  had  no  more 
disceming  reader  than  you.  Nor  am  I  surprlsed  that  you  spotted 
a  misprint.  But  in  exculpation,  let  me  say  that  in  a  revised 
printing,  of  which  a  copy  goes  to  you  under  separate  cover,  sev- 
eral  errata  were  corrected.   I  cannot  hope  that  all  have  been. 

No,  yoiir  brochure  on  Maimonides  has  not  yet  reached  me. 
I  hope  it  will  in  due  time.  What  a  pity  for  you  and  for  India 
that  you  cannot  go  out. 

With  every  good  wish,  above  all  for  your  continuing

My  dear  Professor  Bavimgardt: 

All  my  life  I  have  deemed  it  a  poor  thing  to  give  pressure  of 


wo 


rk  as  an  excuse  for  failing  in  the  amenities  of  civilized  relations 


and  I  deem  it  none  the  less  poor  when  I  come  under  my  condemnation. 
I  do  so  in  not  having  written  to  you  to  express  my  feelings  of  sympathy 
when  I  saw  that  Dorothy  Canfield  Fisher's  beautifiü  and  generous  life 
had  ended.     I  can  assure  you  that  on  reading  of  her  death  my  first 

thoughts  were  of  you. 

And  now  I  must  thank  you  for  your  ever  so  graciously  ex- 
pressed thought  of  me,  so  characteristic  of  the  encouragement  I 
have  had  from  you  all  these  years. 

I  am  looking  forward  to  reading  your  "small  book,  "  but 
you  are  wise,   if  I  may  say  so,  to  postpone  sending  it  to  me  until  the 

Summer  recess. 

With  warm  regards  and  good  wishes, 

Very  sincerely  yours, 


Professor  David  Baumgardt

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt: 

You  will  not  be  surprised,    I  hope,    if  I  teil  you  that  over 
the  months  I  have  written  you  many  a  letter  in  my  mind  that  never 
got  on  paper.       It  is  amazing  how  the  daily  chores  and  the  pressure 
of  werk  can  frustrate  one's  best  intentions.     I  hasten  now  to  drop 
you  a  line  in  order  to  send  you  the  enclosure,   which,    if  you  have 
not  already  seen  it,   will  interest  you. 

I  wanted  to  write  you  when  I  read  the  news  of  Dorothy 
Fisher  Canfield's  death,   for  I  could  at  least  partially  realize 
what  a  deep  and  poignant  severance  that  meant  for  you.     You 
wrote  an  endearing  piece  about  that  endearing  woman.     Goodness 
and  courage  were  in  her  instinctive,    almost  biological,   manifes- 
tations  • 

Many,   many  thanks  for  the  reprint  you  were  kind  enough 
to  send  me.     All  the  paper s  that  have  appeared  in  Commentary 
I  had  read  and  was  glad  to  have  them  again.     When  you  write  in 
more  esoteric  publications  your  writing  is  not  likely  to  fall  to  my 
eyes,    so  please  send  them  to  me.     Have  I  not  seen  the  announce- 
nnent  of  a  forthcoming  book  by  you? 

You  will  want  me  to  say  that  the  doctors  find  me  in  very 
good  shape  and  as  far  as  I  can  teil,    I  carry  my  work  as  easily 


as  ever. 


With  wärmest  regards. 


Sincerely  yours, 


Professor  David  Baumgardt

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt: 

I  was  very  glad  indeed  to  hear 
from  you  and  I  appreciate  your  good 
wishes. 


\ 


^f 


j 


It  pains  me  not  to  accede  to 
any  wish  of  yours,    but  I  am  under  very 
restrictive  riiles  about  seeing  people 
because  the  doctor  feels  it  unduly 
drains  my  energy.     You  must  forgive 
me  therefore  if  I  send  my  respects  to 
your  friends  while  I  am  unable  to  see 
them. 


With  every  good  wish. 


Sincerely  yours, 


Professor  David  Baumgardt

Dear  Dr.  Baumgardt: 

Just  about  on«  year  a^o  we  had  a  three-way  correspondence, 
which  included  Mr.  Steve  L*  Mathis,  Jr.,  of  last  year's  Senior 
Class,  relatin^  to  the  hope  you  inie:ht  be  able  to  come  out  to 
Gallaudet  College  to  address  our  students  and  staff  members.  At 
that  time  you  advised  you  would  soon  be  away  from  the  City  for  an 
extended  period,  but  that  on  your  return  you  would  be  glad  to 
consider  such  an  arrangement. 

VJe  are  now  preparing  the  schedule  of  our  Sunday  Evening 
Chapel  Exercises  for  the  Second  Semester,  and  we  hope  we  will  be 
able  to  include  you  in  that  program.  We  have  open  the  evening 
of  Sunday,  March  9,  at  7  o'clock.  We  would  be  glad  to  learn  this 
date  would  be  convenient  for  you. 

The  topic  we  originally  suggested  is  "A  Philosophy  for 
Everyday  Living," 

We  hope  it  will  be  possible  for  you  to  include  such  a 
meeting  in  your  plans. 


I  am 


Thanking  you  for  your  kind  inte  res  t  and  with  best  wishes, 

Sincerely  yours, 

Irving  S.  FusfelH

I 


Dr.  David  Baumgardt, 
Consultant  on  Phllosophy, 
Library  of  Congress, 
v/ashington ,  D.O. 

My  dear  Dr#  Baumgardt: 

'  As  chairman  of  the  sunmier  school 
committee  at  Garrett  Biblical  Institute,  I  am  writing  to 
invite  you  to  serve  on  the  faculty  of  the  first  term  of 
our  Summer  school  for  this  year,  offering  a  course  In  the 
field  of  Philosophy  of  Religion.  You  have  been  highly 
recommended  to  me  by  our  mutual  friend,  Dr.  Slton  True- 
blood.   We  feel  that  you  would  be  able  to  make  an  unusual 
contribution  to  our  students. 

The  first  term  of  the  summer  school  runs  from 
June  I8th  to  July  20th.  lach  instructor  offers  one  "major" 
course,  meeting  the  class  two  hours  each  day,  four  days 
a  week,  Tuesday  through  Friday,  for  the  five  weeks*   Since 
no  classes  are  held  from  Friday  noon  tili  Tuesday  morning, 
you  would  have  long  free  week-ends  to  fill  as  you  wished# 

Last  year  we  had  an  enrolment  of  3^1  persons  in  the 
first  term.   Approximately  half  of  these  are  seminary 
graduates,  returning  from  the  field  for  refresher  courses. 
The  reiaainder  are  regulär  seminary  students,  all  of  whom 
are  College  graduates.   The  summer  work,  like  that  of  the 
rest  of  the  year,  carries  graduate  academic  credit.   Our 
summer  group  is  always  a  stimulating  one,  and  I  believe  you 
v/ould  enjoy  the  associations  both  with  students  and  with  other 
faculty  members. 

We  keep  our  fees  low  in  order  to  encourage  wide 
participation  by  ministers;  consequently  we  cannot  off er  as 
large  stipends  to  our  instructors  as  we  would  like.  However, 
we  would  be  glad  to  pay  HOO.OO  for  your  Services,  and  could 
furnish  you  a  room  in  the  dormitory  in  addition. 

If  you  find  that  you  can  accept  this  invitation,  will 
you  give  me  the  tltles  of  two  or  three  courses  which  you  would 
enjoy  teaching,  so  that  the  committee  may  choose  what  seems 
the  most  appropriate  one  for  our  purposee.  We  hope  that  this 
proposal  will  interest  you  and  that  you  will  be  able  to  come. 

With  best  wishes  and  looklng  forward  to  hearing  from  you 
soon,  I  am

Faithfully  yours

DEPARTMENT  OF

NORMAN    •    OKLAHOMA 

December  12,  1955« 


Professor  David  Baumgart 
Department  of  Philo so phy 
Columbia  University 
Morningside  Heights 
New  York,  New  York 

Dear  Professor  Baumgart: 

I  recently  received  a  letter  from 
a  sociologist,  inquiring  about  the 
term  ••felicity  calculus'*  which  I  had 
used  in  connection  with  an  article 
on  Jeremy  Bentham.   He  wanted  to  Know, 
in  particular,  whether  the  term  was 
originally  used  by  Bentham  himself  or 
whether  it  was  coined  by  future  com- 
mentators  on  Bentham*   I  told  him  that 
I  did  not  know,  but  would  attempt  to 
find  out.   I  am  writing  you  as  the 
Scholar  most  likely  to  possess  this 
Information,  and  I  would  very  much  ap- 
preciate  any  help  that  you  might  be 
able  to  give  me* 

SUncerely  yours, 

ert  Oeis 
slstant  ir'rofessor

Dear  Dr»   Baumgardt: 


135  SOUTH  LA  SALLE  STREET 


CHICAGO  3,  ILLINOIS 


PHONE:  CEntral  6  8228 


January  19,  1949 


Goethe  was  one  of  the  giants  of  modern  olvilization.  The  Goethe 
Bicentenniai  Foundation  was  created  to  honor  his  memory  and  to  bring 
his  v/isdom  to  bear  on  the  most  urgent  probleros  of  our  times» 

To  achieve  these  purposes  th©  Foundation  is  Sponsoring  an  international 
oonvooation  at  Aspen,  Colorado,  of  the  world's  leading  scholars,  artists, 
and  men  of  letters  for  the  observance  of  the  two  hundredth  anniversaiy  of 
Goethe* s  birth«   The  program  will  include  disoussions,  lectures,  concerts, 
and  art  exhibits#   It  will  also  be  the  ocoasion  for  the  introduction  of  a 
major  literary  event  that  is  being  sponsored  by  the  Foundation.   The 
initial  volvunes  of  Goethe  *s  works  in  modern  iiinglish  translation  will  be 
published  in  time  for  the  Bicentenniai  observance# 

At  present  the  Foundation  is  engaged  in  organizational  activities«  It 
is  initially  establishing  a  committoe  of  interested  Citizens  in  each  of 
thirty  cities  in  tlie  United  States.  Our  purpose  in  establishing  these 
coinmittees  is  to  create  an  Organization  that  v/iH  stimulate  interest  in 
the  country-wide  observance  of  the  Goethe  Bicentenniai  next  summer»  Y^^e 
shall  also  look  to  the  coramittees  for  asslstance  in  enlisting  financial 
Support  to  imderv/rite  the  cost  of  tJie  Bicentenniai  observance. 

The  officers  of  the  Goethe  Bicentenniai  Foundation  believe  that  your 
interost  in  this  activity  will  prompt  you  to  help  us  in  the  initial  phase 
of  our  organizational  plan.   Our  immediate  need  is  the  name,  address,  and 
occupation  of  ten  to  fifteen  leading  members  of  the  limshington  comiaunity 
area  whose  baokground,  interests,  and  participation  in  oommunity  life 
suggest  that  they  may  be  willing  to  accept  Service  on  a  city  committee. 

If  you  -WD  uld  send  your  suggestions  regarding  such  a  list  to  the  national 
headquarters  of  the  Foundation  in  Chicago,  our  next  oourse  of  action  would 
be  to  plan  a  local  liancheon  meeting  in  V/ashington  which  Robert  M. 
Hutchins,  or  one  or  tv/o  other  members  of  the  Board  would  attend.  At 
these  meetlngs,  the  Board  members  would  disouss  detailed  plans  of 
committee  organi?;ation  with  particular  reference  to  the  participation  of 
your  Community  area  in  the  1949  Bicentenniai  observance« 

Because  this  organizational  program  is  national  in  scope,  and  because  it 
will  require  numerous  arrangements  in  advance,  we  hope  that  you  will  not 
delay  in  responding  to  this  appeal  for  assistance.  We  are  enclosing  a 
stamped,  retum  envelope  for  your  oonvenience.  We  shall  be  profoundly 
grateful  for  your  help#

Dear  Dr.  and  Mrs,  Bau!ncai*dt, 

I  am  enclosing  the  money  order  for  the  rent  for  two  months:   July  15  to 
Aucust  15,  and  Aug)ist  15  to  Septmbor  15.     'iYill  it  be  all  right  if  we 
strai-hten  out  the  n^st  of  the  amount  we  owc  you  when  you   come  back?     The 
rent  for  October  will  be  due  on  SeptemVx'r  15;   do  you  want  us  to  pay  Mrs. 
Sundby  to  the   first  -  $25.00  -  and  let  you   give  her  the  rest  #ien  you  get 
here*?     Vftiatever  small  deductions  for  posta^e,   etc.  we  owe  you,  and  the 
Vfilance  on  the  Gas  and  Electric  and  telephone  we  can  iron  out  whm  we  get 
tliose  last  bills.     Will  that  be  convenient  for  you? 

■,Ye  sent  Mrs.   Fisher's  book  to  New  York  as  you  wished,   the   unautographed 
cooy  on  the  desk,  thoagh  we  didn't  see  your  autographed  copy  in  Uie  book- 
case       I  trust  that  was  all  ri  :ht.     And  we  have  been  to  several  book  stores 
trvinr  to  i'et   the  reviews   for  ycu,Doctor,  but  were  unsuccessful  since  none 
of  them  had  the   right  issues.     I  got  the  address  of  the  magazLnes  intenuing 
to  w-ite  to  the  editorial  Offices   for  copies,   but  as  yet  haven't  taken  tirae 
to  do  it.     Perheps  you  would  rather  they  were   sent  directly  to  you,  an^nway.

If  you   Order  copies  for  your  seif,  we  should  appreciate  very  much  ycur  getting 

copies  for  us,  too. 

I  suppose  your  suirmer   is  passing  as  quickly  as  ours.     It  doesn' t_  seem  pos?ible 
that  it  is  well  into  August  already,  and  that  apartment-hunting  is  ag^in  on 
our  list  of  things  to  be  done.     We  hope  to  get  an  anP.rtment  at  the  Chancellor, 
for  l'r.  Sundby  seemed  to  think  that  by  the  end  of  September  he  should  haye   so^ 
vacancy  for  us.     Mailing  that,  we  have  no  definite  alternative.     We  had  thought 
earlier  of  moving   out  Southeast  into  a  new  settlement   -«here   some   friends  ol 
ours  ha^e  a  lovely  place,  but  it  is  not  prectical  now  b«cause  I  have  a  new 
Job-location  vrfiich  is  too  far  from  there, 

I  finished  my  tmining  course  in  the  Department  of  Agricultare  on  July  1,  and 
was  on  temporary  detail  in  the  Training  Division  in  Washington  for  two  weeks 
after  that.     But   I  have  now  moved  out  to  the   Bureau  of  Plant  Industry,  at  the 
Beltsville  Hesearch  Center,   Beltsville,  Iteryland.     It  is  about  twelve  niles 
out  the  road  to  Baltinore,  a«i   I  drive  to  work.     It  is   still  the  Department 
of  Agricultare,   but  a  pernanent  Job  instead  of  a  temporary  assignnent.     Or  as 
perr^nent  as  any  war-service  appointment  can  be.     This  is  f"  f  f:^^"^^^*"^^' 
as  distinguished  from  the  war  agencies,   so  I  am  hoping  that  it  will  be  good  for 
a  lonr  tine.     I  like  the  Department  very  much,  and  have  several  things  in  mird 
ttet  I  woüld  like  to  do  in  it.     This  is  a   verv  lovely  spot  out  here  -  real  country, 
and   even  in  the  hottest  weather  we  have  a  nice  breeze  ,^>;^°^^  J''«  °^^^f '  J  .   ,^ 
think  we  were  very  lucky  to  find  such  a  cool  place  to  live,  and   this  is   certainly 
a  pleasanter  place  to  work  Üian  the  city.     Of  course,  whcn    I  have  to  drive  out 
in  snow-drifts   I  may  change  my  mindl 

Fat  ani   I  both  hope  you  arc  enjoyirc  your  sunmer  in  such  a  lovely  place,  and 
look  forwai-d  to  seeing  you  in  October. 

Our  best  wisheä

Dear  Sir, 

Thank  you  for  your  letter  of  June  19  addressed  t* 
Mr.  Goldsclmidt.   I  regret  to  teil  you  that  Mr.  Goldschmidt 
died  after  a  long  illness,  and,  having  been  his  secretary  and 
co-director  for  some  seven  years,  I  have  taken  over  the  business 
and  am  trying  to  carry  it  on,  as  closely  as  possible,  on  the 
same  Standards  he  laid  down* 

Unfortunately,  item  251  in  our  new  catalogue  113, 
Acosta's  De  voritate  religionis  Christianae  is  already  sold. 
In  fact,  yours  is  the  fourth  request  for  it,  which  must  mean 
the  book  is  much  rarer  than  we  thought,  and,  1  hate  to  say,  too 
cheaply  priced. 

Anyvay,  I  hope  you  will  soon  find  something  yom  want 
in  another  catalogue.   I  am  sorry  if  the  prices  seem  a  bxt  high 
to  you.   Of  course,  we  will  always  allow  you  a  discount  of  10)*, 
and  if  there  is  anything  you  really  want  very  badly,  I  am  always 
willing  to  make  the  price  a  bit  lower  if  at  all  possible.   If 
there  is  any  book  you  want  for  Columbia,  do  let  us  know,  «^  aäk 
the  librarian  to  order  it.  If  we  wero  to  depend  on  most  librarians 
to  decide  wbat  hooks  to  buy,  I  think  we  would  sel^very  li*-*-!®. 
It  is  neople  like  you  who  know  the  books,  and  who^recommend  thera 
to  the'Acquisitions  department,to  whom  we  like  to  send  oatalogues. 


I 


Yours   sincerely,

LEHIGH    UNIVERSITY 

BETHLEHEM,   PENNSYLVANIA 


DEPARTMENT   OF   PHILOSOPHY 


January  10,  1957 


Professor  David  Baumgardt 

The  Fleetwood 

Long  Beach,  New  York 

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt, 

I  Just  thought  I'd  drop  you  a  note  telling  you  where  I  have  been 
keeping  myself  (you  may  have  wondered  why  you  have  not  heard  from  me). 

I  an  very  happy  her«  at  Lehigh  but  my  appointinent  is  only  temporary. 
(I  am  replacing  Dr.  Grunbaum  durlng  his  leave  of  absence.)     Much  as  I  would 
likB  to  stay  (and  it  gives  me  deep  satisfaction  to  know  that  the  Department, 
too,  would  like  me  to  stay),  it  can  not  be  done  because  of  commitaients  made 
prior  to  my  appointment. 

Moreover,  since  ny  wife  teaches  history  at  City  College  (and  it  looks 
as  if  she  may  stay  for  a  while)  it  is  mandatory  that  I  look  for  a  position 
In  New  York  City. 

Mrs.  Gadol  joins  me  in  sending  you  our  high  regards  and  best  wishes. 

I  will  look  farward  to  seeing  you  when  I  ret^im  to  »«*  Jf^* 

Very  truly  yours, 

ETGjhf  i;^  ^^^^    T.    ^^m^^^

Thank  you  very  nuch  indeed  for 
your  welcoMf»,  inetructlve  esBoyi 

From  our  brief  talk  over  the  phon« 
and  all  I  have  heard  of  you,  I  Inf er  your  work  will 
be  truly  free  from  the  two  nost  vicious  threats  to 
any  Fincer«  Jewlsh  learning  —  dangers  once  clcarly 
brought  to  lißht  by  our  ,,:,/l  .v;  p  —  ^^^^^  ^  ^^* 

Torah  as  a  spade  or  •  oro%m* 

Mere  than  anything  eise  —  aside 
from  all  skill  of  organleation  —  nay  I,  therefore, 
vish  you  and  your  assistants  that  quiet,  long  ränge 
concentration,  subtllty  of  thought  and  devotion 
vithout  which  our  deepeet  Jevlsh  valuea  cannot 

eurvive« 

It  is  tsy   experience  that    iiO    use- 

fUlnesa  and  no''crown'*  %#hlch  is  more  than  cheapest

Dear   n*»nn  (lottschplki 

your  lecture  on  CHAFOinr,  COKCET  TICNS  CF

choic©  of  your   topic  and  its  connectlon  with  ühad  Ha'Am 

to  itf?  of  special  merit.

It  haf;  too  often  Struck  tae  how  little 
ur.derrtandlnr  of  the  nature  of  the  prophet  Is  to  be  found 
even  amon^  educators.  Maybe,  the  ^eneral  emphnsis  placed 
todny  or  social  adjustment,  on  immediate  success  with  the 
aasses  and  on  respectabllity  also  blinded  the  JewB  to  the 
fact  tbat  our  real  -giants"  were  -difficult  men%  mostly 
neither  populär  nor  respected  during  their  lifetine,  men 
"of  strife  and  contention  to   the  whole  earth". 

My  hearfelt  wlshes  go  to  you  for  any 
effort  to  be  an  eye-opener  on  these  vital  pointR.  A  ftill 
gra«?p  of  the  profoundly  different  functions  of  leadership 
which  you  characterize  is  c^rtainly  of  fundamental  and 
oost  conseouential  significance^iß.  the  further.mce  of  our

Dr.  David  Baumgardt 
Consultant  in  Philosophy 
Library  of  Congress

Dear  Doctor  Baumgardt: 

I  was  very  much  interested  in  your  recent  article 
on^Maimonides:  Religion  as  Poetic  Truth."   I  believe  the 
description  which  you  give  of  religious  truth  is  the  only 
Position  feasible  for  modern  man.  Sometime  I  hope  that  our 
religious  Services  and  ceremonies  will  be  better  adapted 
to  such  an  attitude.  I  also  hope  that  you  will  continue 
your  work  in  making  people  aware  of  this  poetic  and  symbolic 
attitude  toward  religious  truths. 

I  presume  that  you  know  the  work  of  W.T.  Stacej  for 
example  his  book  TIME  AND  ETERNITI.  As  it  is  important  to 
look  for  allies  in  making  modern  intellectuals  again  aware 
of  religion,  I  am  a  little  sorry  that  you  did  not  refer  to 
his  work.  I  do  not  want  to  say  that  I  agree  with  everything 
Stace  has  to  say.  Still  he  makes  clearer  than  anyone  eise 
among  modern  thinkers  what  the  symbolic  value  of  religious

Prof.  David  Eauingardt 
The  Fleetwood 
Long  Eeach,  N.Y. 

Dear  Prof.  Eaumgardt: 

Thank  you  very  much  for  your  acknowledgenent 
of  Jan.  5th  and  for  t.  e  comments  which  you  raake 
on  Nelson' s  System  of  Ethics.   Please  permit  me  to 
corament  in  turn  on  yours. 

The  critical  foundations  to  Nelson 's  Ethics 
can  be  found  in  his  CritlQue  of  Fractlcal  Heason, 
which  also  has  teen  translated,  However,  the  trans- 
lation  has  not  teen  published  but  soae  time  in  the 
spring  I  will  distribute  microcards  of  the  manu- 
script  translation  to  sorae  leadlng  libraries. 

The  psychological  and  historical  insights  are 
indeed  not  included  in  System  of  Bthics^  but 
according  to  Nelson  a  systen  of  philosophical  ethics 
was  not  to  lead  by  itself  to  practical  decisions, 
As  he  several  times  points  out  in  his  System  facts 
have  to  be  subsuraed  under  the  general  principles. 
Nelson  was  a  great  believer  in  systematic  purity. 
Philosophy  has  to  be  corabined  v/ith  the  factual 
sciences(j)sychology  and  the  social  sciences)  to  give 
US  practical  ethics.

My  dear  Dr.   Moe : 

This    is    to   beg  you   to   recons^ider   thc 
opplication  for   a    fello\^ship   of   the    John  Guggenheim 
Memoria"!    i^oundation  v/hich   I  made    in   Octoher   19^0. 

Aside    from  my   teaching  activities   at 
Pend'e   Hill    I  have   published    several   essays  during  the 
"'ast   academic   year   and    almost   completed    a    classed   bib  •  io- 
p^raphy  of  i^rman   philosophy.      Therefore    I   could   do  only 
insignificant  work  on  my  plenncd   history  of  ethics  mean- 
^hi^e. 

Yours  very   truly

to  «he  best  of  my  knowledge,  la  almoat  uriknown  or  haa  not  ycrt  been  ralatad  to  the 
athioal  thinkiüg  of  the  preuent  day  but  is  of  graataat  ralevanoo  to  it. 

Tho  valuable  and  aouta  mcthodologlcal  raaaarch  ia  atbioe  oarried  on 
eapcoially  in  thia  cotmtr:/  and  in  England  will  ba  oarafully  linkad  to  complataly

If  granted  a  Pellowahip  I  would  hope  to  oomplete  iny  book  in  ona

Dear  Professor  Baumgardtr 

I  appreciate  very  much  your  calling  to  our  attention 
the  paintings  of  the  late  Arthur  Segal»   I  am  afraid 
at  the  moment,  however,  that  we  are  not  in  a  position 
to  accjuire  them» 

As  you  may  know,  we  have  a  fairly  large  Feininger 
collection,  mostly  watercolors  and  a  few  oils,   I 
wonder,  should  you  have  a  photograph  of  the  Feininger 
woodcut,  if  you  would  de  us  the  courtesy  of  sending 
a  rcproduction  of  it. 

Yours  sincerely,

Bradley  about  Irene  'inlcowski,  I  corresponded  with  Dr. 
and  I.!rs.  Algie  Nev/lin^bout  the  possibility  of  their 
son,  Jaraes,  exchanging  with  her;  and  with  Prof.  Caleb 
Srdth,  of  Brown  University,  about  his  son,  Allen,  v;ho 
recently  was  graduated  from  Westto\m.   Either  of  these 
would,  in  ny  esti-^iation,  be  an  ideal  exchange  student, 
but  neither  seened  ouite  ready  to  undertake  it  for  the 
Coming  year.   I  thougiit  that  Reoecca  had  probably  told 
you  that  I  had  been  tr^dng  to  help  r^ake  this  exchange 
possible.   I  an  continuing  to  look  for  a  suitable  stu-

and  credentials  to  the  School  Affiliation  Service  of  the 
American  Friends  Service  Coalttee,  20  S.  12th  St.,  Phila. , 
with  the  reouest  tliat  her  naine  be  r.ade  available  to  Amer- 
ican schools  interested  in  having  exchange  students?  Also 
it  would  help  me  to  knov/  approxirnately  what  standing  she 
would  have  in  an  A^ericen  school.  V/ould  she  be  about  a 
senior  in  high  school,  or  perhaps  a  College  fresh^.an?  In

Dear  Friend: 

We  are  so  happy  to  hear  from  you  again,    and  only  regret  that  you 
did  not  stop  to  visit  us  on  your  way  home  from  Florida.     Please  keep 
US  in  mind  when  you  come  south  again  and  stop  for  a  visit,    as  our 
guest,   and  give  us  a  chance  to  let  our  children  know  you. 

I  have  continued  to  investigate  possibilities  of  having  an  exchange 
Student  go  to  Berlin  in  exchange  with  the  daughter  of  your  friend. 
Thus  far  I  have  been  unsuccessful,   although  I  have  talked  with 
several  students  here  as  well  as  those  with  whom  I  had  contact  in 
New  England.     I  wonder  whether  Jl  the  German  young  woman  would 
be  willing  to  come  this  fall  to  enroll  at  Guilford,    dven  without  an 
exchange  arrangement,    if  we  could  perhaps  find  a  home  in  which 
she  could  live,   possibly  to  earn  board  and  room  or  imder  some  other 
arrangement.     From  time  to  time  some  of  our  faculty  do  have  students 
live  in  their  homes.     Or  would  there  be  any  possibility  that  she  could 
enroll  and  live  in  a  dormitory,    where  the  total  cost  for  the  year^ncluding 
tuition)  would  be  approximately  $957?     Very  likely  she  could  be  given 
some  scholarship  and  work  assistance  which  would  reduce  this  total. 

I  am  delighted  to  hear  of  your  forthcoming  publication,    "Great  Western 
Mystics:  Their  Lasting  Significance"  and  will  look  forward  to  having 
it  in  our  library.     We  are  trying  to  collect  as  many  manuscripts  as  we 
can  from  contemporary  Quaker  writers  or  writer  interested  in  Quakerism. 
I  wonder  whether  your  manuscript  of  this  publication  would  be  available 
and  whether  you  would  be  interested  in  donating  it  to  our  collection, 
which  already  has  contributions  from  many  of  your  friends  such  as 
Henry  Cadbury,    Douglas  Steere  and  Howard  Brinton.     We  would  be  moßt 
happy  to  have  it. 

Sincerely  jpurs,

Dear  Priendi 

At  last  I  have  found  a  student  who  is  very  mach  interested  in 
exchan[;inr  a  year  with  Visa   I'inlcov/ski,   She  is  Jone   Col träne,  of 
412  College  Hoad,  Guilford  College  3ranch,  Greensuoro,  Korth 
Carolina.   She  and  her  parents  have  been  our  lon[::  trie  friends 
and  neifhbors  here  at  the  College,   She  was  boi'n  on  December  11, 
1959,  and  thus  is  approachinr  her  20th  birthday,   She  was  ^^raduated 
from  Guilford  Ki:  h  School  in  195^  with  a  very  fine  record  and  has 
just  complcted  her  first  year  in  the  colle£:e*   She  is  a  most  healthy 
and  friendly  youn^:  lady,  with  poise  and  naturity«   She  is  tall  (five 
feet,  eleven  inches)  and  wei^^hs  lA2  pounds  (Ajierican  poundsi),   She 
has  had  nuch  experience  as  a  life<:^uard,  a  Job  at  which  she  is  workinE 
this  3uiii--er  alonr  vdth  some  studies*   She  has  developed  an  interest 
in  Gernan  in  her  studies  with  our  fine  Ger -an  instructor,  Mrs.  Mary 
Pearins,  who  spent  her  junior  year  in  Munich,  and  is  especially  in- 
terested in  ^.athemtics,    She  is  an  avera,r;e  student  with  a  much 
above  averafe  Personality*   I  have  conplete  confic'ence  in  her  eher- 
acter  and  trustworthiness  as  a  possible  exchange  student  or  I  would 
not  for  a  moment  recom  lend  her» 

Her  üarents,  Mr.  and  Mra*  John  3.  Ooltrane,  are  a  very  fine 
couple,  ajout  in  their  niiddla  forties,  PV^4^ave  a  son  younger  than 
Jane  in  hifh  school.   They  have  recentlj^i^aiovely,  ^lodest  brick 
hcaae  ab  out  a  half  ;^ile  fron  the  College*   They  are  a  very  fine 
Quaker  fainily,  with  a  back^^round  of  public  worl:  and  a  niodest  but 
adequate  incone.   Urs.  Ooltrane  is  one  of  the  best  cooks  in  our 
coBuiunityJ   I  have  discussed  with  theri  toni^ht  in  detail  the 
prospect  of  an  exchanfe  for  the  two  .;  1^1»  ^^^^^   September  aiid  they 
are  very  interested.   They  asked  me  to  have  you  v/rite  the  Kinlcow- 
skis  and  see  whether  Irene  would  be  interested  specifically  in 
comin,^:  to  Guilford  for  a  year;  whether  her  preference  would  be  to 
live  with  them  or  in  a  dornitory,  or  perhaps  a  semester  of  each; 
what  the  fineuicial  expectations  and  responsibilities  would  be; 
about  travel  for  Jane  from  Bremerhaven,  pro^ably,  to  Berlin;  and 
for  Irene  from  New  York  to  Greensboro;  and  any  other  ouestions  they 
nay  v;ish  to  raise.   I  ari  sure  the  College  would  cooperate  with  this 
plan,  not  only  President  and  Mrs.  rilner,  :;rs.  Feat;ins,  but  also  the 
head  of  our  economics  depart^nent,  Dr.  Curt  Yictorius,  and  ^!rs.  Vic- 
torius,  former ly  from  Berlin  themselves.   I  have  explained  to  the 
Coltranes  that  both  you  and  I  would  serve  as  interrnediaries.   Since 
I  lived  in  Koblenx  in  1946  I  have  helped  two  very  fine  students, 
Wilhelm  Anders  and  Helrja  Strube,  corie  to  Guilford,  and  we  also  had 
for  a  year  Udo  Gen^enbach,  an  able  student  fr  an  Pforzheim»   It  is 
tiuie  we  had  another» 

We  shail  await  fürtVier  word  fron  you  or  the  v'inkowskis.   I  oelieve 
Jp.ne  could  be  ready  by  September.   Do  you  suppose  Irene  couldT

^ear  Mrs.Baumgardt, 

Enclosed  5  send  you  the"Faust  Interpretat 


since  you  had  asked  me  about  it  and  thought  it 


V) 

might  interest  your  husband.  I  certainly  will  n^ 
be  very  glad  to  have  hirn  read  it.  It  had  been 
first  accepted  for  the  Goethe  Festival  in  Aspen ^ 
for  the  Centennial  a  few  years  ago,later  on 
refused.l  can  imagine  that  this  new  approach 
to  the  Faust  theme  did  not  fit  exactly  their 
EestifTal  athraosphere.-But  it  is  necessary  to 
take  once  a  different  hard  look  at  the  usual 
idealizing  conception  of  the  Faust  figure. 


Sincerely 


i 


P.S. Since  I  have  no  copies  any  morepjjfase 
return  it  after  peruaal,  ii/case  you  corae  to 
See  me,you  can  also  brinj  it. The  comment  of 
your  husband  would  certainly  interest  me.

Dear  Dr.   Gutman: 

Thank  you  very  much  indeed  for  letting  me  see  your 

essay  on  Goethe's  FAUST*      I   fülly  agree  with  your  main   thesist   Goethe's 

Faust,  as  far  as  he  is  under  the  pact  with   the  Devil,    is  anything  but 

a  moral  hero  and,   despite  his  ceaseless  drive  for  inore  knowledge  and 

power   (which  is   alien  to   anciant  oriental  culture  and  very  character- 

istic  of  Euro-American  civilization)   Faust  cannot  be   taken  for  the 

moral   ideal  of  Western  man, 

It  seems   to  mc,  however,    that  some  of  your  sidelights 

darken  rather  th^in  illuminate  your  reflections;   and  I  hope  you  will  not 

Of 
mind  if  I  name  a  few  of  these  points,  ,  Hinduism  and  Buddhism  it  can 

hardly  be  said   that  they   ^anchor'lif e*ln   the  reality  of  God*   (p#12)| 

and  I  wonder  liiether  religion  as  such   is  needed  to  make  the  man  of 

science  and   technology  a  man  of  moral  and   truly  human  value#     Action 

dictated  exclusively  by   the  awareness  ofmoral  responsibility    (which 

is   so  sadly  lacking  in  Faust)   would   be  encu  gh   to   bring  about  that 

catharsis  which  you  rightly  demrmd  for   that   type  of  Westem  man  vÄio 

is  without  any  ethical  inhibitions. 

As  far  as  religion    md  philosophy  are  concerned,  I 
must  confess   that  I  cannot  share  the     -«•»♦ral  view   that  Faust  represents 
only  that   "human  tendency  toward  seduction   throu^  vords,   toward  seif- 
in toxlcatlon   through  proclaimlng  Ideals  and  philosophtes  in  vhich  one 
finally  believes  as  if  they  were  accomplished  realities"   (p.ll),     Has 
not  Faust  warne  d  Wagner  and  h  ins  elf  explicitly  against   the  stupid,3d£K« 
pernicious  view  that  "allein  der  Vortrag  macht  des  Redners  Glflck"? 
Does  he  not  emphasize  to  Wagner i    "Es  trägt  Verstand  und  rechter  Sinn 
mit  wenig     Kundt  sich  selber  vor"  and   "Wenn  itir's  nicht  fflhlt,   ihr  wer- 
dets  nicht  erjagen"?»   and  are  not  aany  of  Fau8t*s  ideas  yaluable  as 
philosophical  insifijhts,    thou£^,   of  course,  no  philosophy  and  no   ethics 
in  themselves  can  ever  be  a  reality;   th^  must  remain  ideas, 

I  cannot  help  thinking  that  Faust »s   »Glaubensbekennt- 
nis vor  Gretchen"  is  really  sincer  e  and,   thou^  it   outrages  all  be- 
lievers  in  fixed  religious  dogmas,   it  seems  to  me  one  of  the  moat 
honest  pantheistic  confessions  of  world  literature;  and  I  should  be 
unable  to   take   this   religious  view  as  a  mere  aesthetic  play  of  words. 

Ön  other  points,  however,   Goethe  himself  —  like 

Faust  is  certainly  an  aesthetic  mind  of  most  questionable  moral 

attitudes.     He  broke  again  and  again  into  the  Barriage^  of  others, 


-  2  - 


< 


he  hurt  women  frequenUy;  he  voted  for  th«  expilüsion  of  Fichte  from 
the  Univers ity  of  Jona,  thouijh  Fichte  waa  accused  of  only  the  saae 
ktbnodt  religious  liberaliea  that  Beethe  confessed  himself ;  and, 
what  is  even  much  worse,  aa  State  Councillor,  he  voted  for  the  ex- 
ecution  of  a  girl  vho,  like  Gretchen,  had  committed  infanticide,  and 
he  did  so  merely  to  please  the  strictly  reactionary  Geheimrat  Vogt. 
For  many  years  I  have  disliked  Goethe  ar   a  moral  personality  so   much 
that  I  thou^t  Hölderlin   (of  course,  not  Heine  who  was  morally  an   even 
grtate/ "Lump")  a  purer  and  greater  lyricist  than  the  Weimar  ^cellency. 
I  took  even  Bödme's  severe  criticism  of  Goethe  as   too  raild, 

Row,   I  still  insist  that  we  should  never  dismiss 
lamor-lity   in  Faust,    in  Goethe  or   in  any  genius  by  saying  that  out- 
standing  m«n  are  entitled   to  stand   above  the  rules  of  ethics.     But  as 
regcirds   the  sober  facts,   I  believe  now  that  nature  is  indeed  deplorably 
economical   in  ■ixing  matchlng  great  intellectual  or  artistic  abilities 
rather  seldom  with   equally  great  ethical  gifts.     Fortunately,   there 
are  in  world  history   a  few  morally  outstanding  creative  ainds  such 
Maimonides,   Einstein,   Bentham,   Nietzsche   (even  against  Spinoza 
and  Kepler  moral  ob^ections  have  been  made).      I  am  afraid  that   the 

.jority  of  great  men  are  ethically  far  less  intact.     Karl  Marx, 
cert;iinly   the  greatest  economis  t  of  modern  times,  and  Schopenhauer  — 
after  all  a  hi^ily  gifted  thinker  —  were  even  mtrti^ct  base  char- 
acters   j  yet  even   the  •»malicicus«  Galileo,   the  cowardly  Leibniz, 
the  lying  Kant  were  not   ideale  of  ethical  conduct. 

Moreover,   the  Old  Testament  pictvires   the  greate.st 
kin^of  the  Jews,    their  greatest  poet  find   theiiT^ge,   David  and 
Solomon,  w>:iBaKxki7  as  well  aa  Jacob,   the  patriarch,  as  morally 
quite  faultyi  and  Jesus'   violent,  hateftil  and  historically  quite 
unjustified  attacks  on  the  Phariseeo  are,  even  in  the  opinion  of 
modern  Christian  theologians.anything  but  examples  of  shining  morality. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  "impatience''of  truly  Faustian  geniuses  has  cer- 
Ulnly  nothing  in  common  with  the  childish  impatience  of  the  average 
du 11  and  bored  American  or  European  voluptuary. 

But  let  me  not  bore  you  any  longer  with  such  ideas 
which  are,  I  have  no  doubt,  as  familiär  to  you  as  to  me,     Only,  once 

more.  very  many  thanks,  and  best  regards, 

*  Sincerely  yours, 

David  BaiuBgardt

Dear  Professor  Baurrgardt: 

I  have  not  written  you  even  though  Mr.  Wigr'inF  sent  me  copies  of  bis  letters 
to  you,   I  hope  when  you  are  here  in  June  I  can  b-  helpful  in  working  out 
the  remaining* Problems  with  the  Columbia  Press  if  that  has  not  already  been 
accomplished. 

The  Visits  of  Ebblnghaus  and  Price  were  thoroughly  worthwhile — I  am  sure 
that  it  is  the  same  Price  that  you  were  in  tcixh  with  at  Oxford  thirty  years 
ago. 

With  best  regards  to  you  and  Mrs,  Baumgardt  and  looking  forward  to  seeing 
in  June, 

Cordially,

Dear  Professor  Gutmann: 

In  cur  last  conversation  you  kindly  suggested  that  I 
submit  to  you  a  few  details  concerning  two  friends  of  mine  in  whose  pioblems 
you  would  be  willing  to  take  a  friendly  interest. 


Unfortunately,  in  the  case  of  Prof.Andrea  Galiinberti  of  the 
llniversity  of  Genoa,  a  vicious  circle  has  seemed  to  apoll  all  possible 
progress  so  far.   A  few  years  ago  a  Rockefeller  fellowship  was  granted 
h im  and  with  this  he  put  his  stay  in  this  country  to  excellent  use. 
Several  detailed  and  penet  rating  studies  of  his  on  Perry,  Morris,  the 
ethico-political  concepts  of  the  American  Constitution  have  already 
appeared  in  leading  Italian  periodicals,  and  he  has  the  desire  to  extend 
this  work  considerably,   To  this  end,  however,  the  holdings  of  Italian 
libraries  in  American  philosophy  are  by  no  rce^ns  up  to  the  mark,  and 
another  visit  to  this  country  would  be  imperative  for  this  and  other 

reasons, 

Could  Columbia  University  give  any  sign  of  marked  concern 

about  the  continuation  of  Prof.  Galimberti's  work? 

Obviously,  only  if  this  were  possible,  perhaps  in  partici- 
pation  with  some  other  leading  American  universities,  could  Prof. 
Galiüiberti  receive  a  sufficient  granl  from  a  foundation  to  spend  another 
year  in  this  country.   This  should,  in  my  opinion,  be  very  much  welcomed 
in  the  interest  of  American  philosophy. 

Prof.  Galimberti  is  a  mos t  pleasant  personality  of  fine 
appearance  and  I  do  not  know  of  any  other  Italian  or  even  European 
thinker  who  could  rival  him  in  devot ion  tc  and  ability  for  the  most 
valuable  aim  he  has  set  himself.

Dear  Professor   Gutmanni 


June  7,   1963 


You  will  hardly   imagine  how  much   I 
am  moved   by  your   extretuely  klnd  and  valuable  contribu- 
tion   to  Horizons  of  a  PhilQsopher# 

The  news    that  such  a   thing  was    in    the 
making  had  already  Ipaked   throu^    to  me  some   time  ago 
by   the   frankness  of  a  90-year-old  colleague  of  Oxford 
and   Birminghamd  Universities  who   wrote  me,    instead  of 
the   editor,    that  his   age  prevented  him  from  writing 
anything  for  my   Testschrif t**,   as  sincerely  as  he  re- 
gretted  it.      But  now  I  have  your  excellent  essay   before 
me  in   the  volume  nicely  bound  and,   needless    to   say,    I 
greatly  enjoy  your  general   trend  of  thoug^jt  and,   not   to 
forget,    the  deli^tful  humor  of  such   penetrating  obser- 
vations  as   that  ot  the  **girl   of  my  choice". 

As   is  aiDply  revealed  by   this  "Fest- 
schrift",   I   am   in   this    country  still  of  an  obscurity 
earned    the  hard  way   and  somewhat   better  known  only  a- 
broad.      But    that   this   is    the  case  is  without   the  sli^t- 
est  not  your   "fault". 

You  are  one  of   the  very   few  Americans 
who  vi^rously  assis  ted  me  at  a   time  when    I   bitterly 
needed  such   help  and  for    this    I  shall  always   remain 
deeply   grateful* 

Once  more,  my  heartfelt   thanks   and

Mgr  d^ar  f  ritii&ti 

Thli  Ittter  it  ««aat  for  you  and  all  «y  old  frlendt  at  Pendl« 
thenj  plMS«!  to  Lydia  Cadlniry, 

It  •••■•  inortdible  that  It  it  Jutt  two  yeart  ago  today  tino«  I  rMch«d 
Pendle  Hill.  One'e  eenee  of  tlae-paeted  depends  eo  «ach  «ore  on  qiiantlty  of 
ezperlenoes  than  on  actual  ntisber  of  dayt«  So  such  hat  happened  tlnee  thent 
that  It  teeBt  yeart  a«o«  ^nd  yet  I  am  glad  to  feel  that  nothing  of  thote  happy 
few  montht  It  fadlng.  I  oan  ttlll  flgure  you  all|  feel  the  tang  of  yonr  clear 
dry  Winter  air,  and  call  up  one  picture  after  another  Tlridly  and  oompletely.  I 
often  "go  the  ronnd"  in  «y  «ind  of  pertont  and  placet.  It't  tuch  a  bletted 
change  of  air  and  toene  fro«  the  lifo  we  lead;  and,  tince  for  a  long  tlme  going 
away  for  a  ohange  hat  been  impottible,  (for  all  tea-tide  retortt  are  reterred 
areas  or  their  "quiet"  it  quettionable)  elderly  folk  like  ut  stay  at  hoae. 

Wonld  my  iamediate  titiiation  interett  youT  It  it  5« 45  wlth  ut  ,  (i«e« 
wlth  ay  two  tittert  and  «y  inralided  brother.)  We  blacked-out  half  an  hour 
ago  —  the  utual  routlne  —  I  take  the  upper  rooat  and  «y  »ore  nimble  tittert 
the  high,  downttairt  windowt.  We  open-windowed  Inglith  folk  are  loting  all 
our  good  habitt*  I're  nerer  tlept  with  cloted  windowt  in  «y  life  before,  but 
one  hat  to  ohoote  between  the  noitt  of  planet,  not  being  able  to  put  on  any  light 
in  the  night  if  one^t  ourtaint  are  polled  back,  and  also  the  danger  of  flying 
glatt  if  uncoTered  windowt  are  taathed.  low  we  are  titting  round  a  big  log  fire. 
We  Ute  one  titting^roo«  oaly  to  tare  coal,  and  we  hare  cut  down  toae  of  our 
tuperfluout  trete  for  the  taaa  ende«  What  one  lotet  in  priraoy  one  gaiat  in  ooti- 
nett.  It  it  taowing  outtide,  and  we  hare  been  ezalaiaing  with  Joy  that  it  it  not 
a  •flying»  night.  Maonlight,  (to  lorely  froa  our  windowtl)  it  a  Ttxy  inconrenient 
phenoaenon,  and  we  tay:-  »Happily  thereU  no  aoon. "  One  of  the  ttaff  froa  Wood- 
brooke  hat  been  in  to  tee  ae,  giringvae  the  tera^t  newt.  What  a  aerciful  delirer- 
anee  they  hare  hadi  Bombe  falling  all  around,  eereral  of  the  non-retident  ttaff 
ditpottetttd  of  houte  and  hoae,  and  Woodbrooke  ittelf  unhurt  tzoept  for  toae 
broken  glatt«  Ihey  are  keeping  it  open  all  through  the  Chrittaat  holidayt  —  to 
aany  people  hare  no  hoaet  at  pretent.  If  it  were  to  be  left  eapty  for  a  day, 
eren  for  what  aay  teea  ineritable  eleaning  and  airing,  the  air  raid  wardent  aight 
pounee  on  it  for  eraeueet;  aad  it  aight  be  difficult  to  recorer  it.  So  they 
theatelTOt  haTe  widtly  kept  it  going  and  filled.  lut  how  tired  they  get  and  how 
wonderfully  they  keep  going]  I  hare  been  erer  eereral  tiaet  to  gire  leeturet.  I 
tuppote  one  gett  uted  to  ditturbed  nii^tt  -^  nurtet  do.  The  houeekeeper  hae  been

it  in  turnt,  looklng  to  ooaie  in  »tin  hatt"),  the  place  eeeat  füll  of  thadowy, 
dreeting^gowned  fl^uret,  ttealing  about  with  torohet,  tleepy  and  aechanical, 
finding  their  bedt  in  the  cellar^  the  cellar  iteelf  hat  been  aarreloutly  trantforaed, 
now  looking  like  the  tteerage  cabin  of  one  of  the  big  19th  Century  linert.  Deeked 
for  a  party,  it  lookt  quite  gay!  ShoTild  the  tiren  tound  In  an  erening  lecture,

people«  We  shall,  I  think,  be  far  more  aware  of  the  under-dog,  far  nore  concemed 
about  social  Justice.  Our  psychology  is  changing.  We  haTe  become  aware  of  eure 
selrest  not  in  any  braggadocio  way;  but  all  of  us  greatly  are  iapressed,  shame- 
facedly  impressed,  by  the  courage,  endurance  and  pluck  of  our  fellow^aen.  It  is 
a  llght  in  our  daitaiessi  a  thing  to  thank  öod  for  in  our  prayers.  Can  these  be 
the  bored,  dilletante  suburbanites  of  London  and  BirminghaB  and  Lirerpool  and  •.•? 
Can  these  be  the  gambling,  lie-a-bed-all-SundayT  etc»  etc»  People  are  happier, 
I  belioTe,  in  spite  of  death  and  destruction,  There's  a  clear  eause,  purpose  and 
work  to  do,  and  danger  suits  ua  — ,  emergencies  suit  us. 

That  this  Inspiration  should  coxne  through  war  is  surely  the  worst  possible 
indictment  of  cur  normal  state  of  peace.   Why  is  effort  after  social  betterment» 
keennesa  for  the  arts  of  peace  and  leisure,  so  mach  lese  excitlng  and  ritallsing 
than  wart  Purpose  ia  made  so  anich  clearer  by  danger  and  stresa.  Danger  unifies 
too.   The  aembers  of  the  herd  more  towards  a  centre  when  the  tiger  is  around.  We 
are  still  primitire*   There  is  a  sense  in  which  a  State  of  war  bringe  back  the 
noraality  of  an  earlier  and  easier  type  of  life.  We  rerert  to  type.  As  this 
reverslon  is  eamouflaged  Tery  sucoessfolly,  often  beautifully,  by  the  foliage  of 
a  latent  eiTilisation  —  self-sacrifice,  kindness,  courage,  «echanical  resourcee,  • 
we  fail  to  reeognise  what  is  happening.   It  all  Bakes  one  ftiriously  to  think.  And 
one  thing  surely  eaerges  clearly  —  indeed  sereral« 

Flrstly^  It  isnU  really  at  botto«  Material  thlngs  that  keep  us  apart, 
though  they  seen  to  do  so  superficially  in  peaoe  time.  Money,  coafort,  teaporary 
security  are  glren  19  llght-heartedly  (l  aean  that  adrerb)  under  this  stränge  new 
conTiction  of  coaaon^  shared  danger  and  suffering*  People  are  resilly  like  that, 
That  is  the  genuine  "Seed  of  (Jod."  It  is  eoneealed  and  choked  by  prlaitlre  pull- 
backs,  Jealousies,  hare  s  and  hawe-nots  and  all  the  rest  of  it  —  but  the  real 
dlTine  light  is  there,  and  I  rejoice  to  realise  it^  eren  while  I  grlere,  deeply 
griere,  that  it  has  taken  such  horrible  things  to  rereal  it.  And  will  it  last?

It  ItnU  Aoeotsary  In  p«ae«->tlM  that  100  joart  of  cloth  a  «Inut«,  or  on«  Tord  ear

lo  euch  unlraraal  «tatoment  oan  ba  «ade,  and  all  of  ue  know  In  our  different  wayt, 
that  thera  lo  llttle  better  In  llfe  than  to  creato  eomething  —  freely,  in  our  own 
war,  at  our  own  paoe,  —  whether  It  be  a  pot  of  home-aade  Ja«,  a  plaj-  or  a  friendehlp. 
The  quaitiea  for  eoclety  Is  to  dlecorer  whan  »achlnery  and  Organisation  make  for  true 
lelcure,  and  idien  It  only  leada  to  borado«,  eapped  rltality  and  fruetrated  power.  I 
don't  Ca»«  haüTTtron«  tha  power,  The  fruetrated  --  often  unconeclouely  fruetrated  — 
•rdlnary  aan  and  woman  Is  what  appeals  to  «e,   To  eee  the«  "releated"  for  a  clear 
purposei.  »hloh  la  what  we  ara  eaelng  orer  here  today.  *nd  to  realiie  that  they  hare

(flre-epottlng,  lorry-drlrlng,  eracuee-helplng,  deputlsing,  etc.)  Is  to  loathe  all 
our  standardleing  and  puttlng  under.  In  the  Intereets  (falee  Interest)  of  something 
we  call  drlliaatlon,  ▲  Christian  Cowminlsm  Is  what  X  want. 

Will  thls  war  bring  us  nearar  to  It  —  or  remore  us  furthert  Last 
yoar  I  ehould  hare  shouted  the  second  altematlre  loudly.  low  I'm  not  sure.  Are 
our  splrlts  going  to  be  stabbed  awake  by  this  dagger  of  war,  or  shall  we  only  grow 
anaeale  and  peerish  through  loss  of  blood  and  sleepT  The  result  will  b©  «Ixed,  I 
don't  doubt  —  but  we  are  haring  an  experlence  orer  here  that  will  at  least  clear 
away  a  lot  of  lujnber  and  slunrny  splrltuality.  The  field  Is  belng  cleared  ~  for 
what? 

Tou  «ay  ask  me  how  the  change  Is  made  apparent,  It  would  be  hard  to 
say,   We  all  talk  together  In  buses  and  tralna,  In  Chance  encounters;  class-dlatinct- 
lons,  already  before-tho-war  fast  dl sappearlng,  are  going  down  with  a  rush;  kindness 
and  courtesy  are  «ore  unirersal;  smallness  and  shabblness  of  splrlt  seeme  somehow 
less  coBBBon;  there  Is  lese  cynlcism  and  far  less  belittling  of  eternal  thlngs. 
fe  are  all  aware  of  OTir  gorenuient,  our  country,  o\ir  responelbility  in  a  way  that 
often  makss  for  thought.  Ireryoae  Is  far  «ore  personally  coneemed  In  big  issues. 
There  Is  surprlslngly  llttle  Jlngols«  and  bittemess  (though  of  course  some)  and 
there  are  always  people  (and  theee  not  Just  the  paclflst  element)  who  deeply  regret 
the  growlng  boastfulnes«  and  "ehortllng"  splrlt  of  tha  B.  ».  C.

UNIVERSITA    DI    GENOVA 


FACOLTA  DI  LETTERE  E  FIL080FIA 


Novi  Ligure,February  9th,1963 


Dear  Prof.  Baumgardt, 

your  letter  of  a  month  ago  was  endearing  as  always  and  more 
than  ever  worth  an  iimnediate  answer,whlch  however  I  belated 
from  week  to  week,because  of  my  indecision  concerning  your  new 
Suggestion  that  I  could  teach  for  an  year  in  the  U.S.A.My  hope 
was  that  new  circumstances  could  arise;  must  I  teil  you  once  mo- 
re how  attractive  the  Idea  sounds  to  me?  However, the  truth  is 
that  people  here  are  playing  with  me  as  the  cat  v/ith  a  mouse,and, 
as  a  consequence,!  cannot  foresee  going  abroad  for  an  year  without 
running  the  risk  of  never  returning. 

You  live  in  a  different  country,among  different  people ;you 
will  never  realize  what  happens  in  Italy.Remark  that  I  am  a  quite 
peaceful  man,by  no  means  inclined  to  quarrel,having  never  done  it 
during  the  fifty  years  of  my  life;and  I  am  no  fool,no  extravagant 
person  in  my  behaviour  or  language.Now  listen  to  the  following: 

You  know  all  the  premises  of  what  happened,but  the  consequen- 
ces  that  developed  out  of  them  are  incredible  .Two  years  ago, in 
Dec. i960, the  Revue  de  M^taphysique  et  de  Morile  published  a  theo- 
retic  article  of  mine ;  the  same  month, I  received  from  Columbia 
the  invitation  for  which  I  am  essentially  indebted  to  you.  Coming 
after  some  other  acknowledgements  in  France  and  in  U. S.A., that 
all  was  too  much  in  the  opinion  of  some  of  my  colleagues  in  Italy. 
Four  months  elapsed;then,I  was  informed  that,by  a  personal  inter- 
vention  of  the  italian  minister  of  education  (Ministro  della  l^.b- 
blica  Istruzionei  incidentally,the  man  was  the  Hon.Bosco^presently 
"ministro  della  giustizia'»  of  the  second  "ministero  Fanfanl"),my 
place  at  the  University  of  Genoa  (the  teaching  of  moral  philoso- 
phy,a  place  occupied  by  me  without  Interruption  from  1942  on)  had 


»

been  "offered  as  a  personal  gift"  to  one  of  my  öolleagues  In  6e- 
noa^for  the  benefit  of  a  young  and  by  no  means  brllliant  disciple 
of  hiin,not  even  special! sed  in  moral  research! 

Abiding  by  the  law, such  intervention  should  be  iinpossible;how- 
ever,law  and  practice  are  different  matters. A  public  competition 
had  to  take  place, but  ,soine  inonths  before  the  professors  having 
to  judge  the  competition  reunited,the  foresaid  pupil  of  prof .Sciac- 
ca  IS  already  stxtsätxthK  appears  as  the  "professor  of  moral  philo- 
sophy  at  the  faculty  of  Genoa"  in  a  paper  officially  printed  and 
distributed  by  the  University  itself ! 

To  make  all  this  possible,the  dean  was  himself  cheated;obviously , 
my  friends  reacted,and,to  teil  you  in  Short, one  of  them,who  is  ''pro- 
fessore  ordinario"  in  a  different  school  and  "incaricato"  in  my  fa- 
culty,gave  up  his  "incarico"  and  invited  the  faculty  to  offer  it 
to  me.  So,I  am  presently  teaching  education  instead  of  moralsrby 
the  way,a  field  of  studies  I  never  cultivated  before. You  can  see 
the  risk  I  wculd  have  to  run  absenting  for  an  year  from  Genoa! 

What  to  teil  you?  The  force  presently  ruling  the  academic  life 
(at  least,in  my  field  of  studies)  in  Italy,to  teil  it  crudely  is 
"mafia",gangsterism.A  sort  of  gangsterism  you  will  never  understand, 
because  you  don't  know  what  people  of  southern  Italy  are:their  na- 
tural bent  to  dodging  and  playing  tricks, their  indifference  or  plea- 
sure  in  the  sorrows  of  other  people, their  hatred  of  northem  people, 
especially  from  Piemonte  (I  am  one, and  my  grandfather  was  in  his 
days  a  "garibaldino*' :  should  he  know!  Or,mcre  properly  :what  did  they 
do! ).Yetmore,the  exaggerate  importance  attributed  in  their  countries 
to  academic  titles,the  influence  and  credit  they  enjoy  by  means  of 
such  titles,the  money  they  win  by  it  in  a  poor  country,etc. 

Maybe,I  (and  some  others  -  not  many  -  with  me)  will  be  finally  de- 
feated,and  I  will  have  to  regret  not  having  flighted  to  America :maybe 
not.God  knows!  In  any  ca8e,to  this  moment  I  can  only  foresee  going  on 
with  what  is  becoming  a  real  fight, instead  of  befng  a  peaceful  desti- 
ny  of  study  and  school. Pupils  here  prefer  me  to  any  other  professor

in  philosophy,and  number  of  them  each  year  choice  to  prepare  their 
final  examination  (the  italian  "tesi  di  laurea" ,being  a  written  es- 
say  having  the  proportions  of  a  book)  under  my   direction:  thls  being 
a  peculiar  act  of  courage,because  they  must ,thereafter, enter  national 
competitions  to  get  a  place  as  high-school  professors,and  the  most 
impudent  favouritism  is  the  rule^;not  to  speak  of  what  will  happen 
to  the  most  endowed  of  them,should  they  enter  university  competitions! 

Now,the  poor  devils  will  have  to  change  at  least  the  title  of  their 
•*tesi  di  laurea"  ,f  roin  "morals"  to  "education"  (pedagogia) ! 

What  will  happen  to  me  next  year,I  will  know  only  in  June  or  July, 
I  could  neither  postpone  the  present  answer  to  that  date,nor  avoidijj^f 
giving  you  some  information. . .Please ,don' t  teil  it  out  so  crudely  as 
I  must  do  writing  to  you,because  few  people  among  American  professors 
could  understand,and  this  all  would  finally  damage  me,or  so  I  suppo- 

se. 

As  for  your  reproach  concerning  the  book,"Etica  e  Morale",that  I 
have  given  too  much  to  Kant  and  too  little  to  utilitarian  trends,I 
am  in  doubt  whether  I  should  plead  innocent  or  guilty,as  the  whole 
matter  deserves  a  too  long  speach  to  be  added  to  so  long  a  letter  as 
this. The  book  itslef  is  partially  the  result  of  very  long  studies, 
parti^lly  the  fruit  of  the  stränge  circumstances  I  have  briefed  you 
of :I  knew  sufficiently  well, last  spring, what  would  happen  out  of 
that  competition,but  I  wanta,neverless,to  give  a  public  demonstration 
of  what  I  could  scientifically  afford  on  the  subject  of  morals. 

Whatever  you  may  think  concerning  such  miseries  of  life  as  T  am 
going  through,don» t  forget  me,as  I  don't  forget  your  touching  friend- 
ship;  being  given  an  opportunity ,persuade  friends  into  Publishing 
some  reviews  of  my  book,because  it  will  undoubtedly  help  my...war! 
Goigg  to  Mexico  in  September  will  be  probably  too  expensive  for  me; 
however,I  don't  know. Will  you  be  there? 


Kind  regards

aro   and,    as    I   have    to    complete    this   rnonth   very   much   urgent 
glance  at   it.      To   be  branMFst:^  honest,    comprer  ensibly   I   miss    in   it  a  detail 
discussion   of  hedonism  of   the    type  which  most  of  rccent   ethical   literature 
offers,    such   as    Charles  A.    Baylis,  ETHICS,    1958,   or   ED^WID  HUSSERLS   ETIilSCHi^ 
UKTERS!JCI;UKGEN  ed.    Alois   Roth,    i960,    or   the   English    treatises    by   S.P.  Toulmin 
aK   £X>iMINATICK'  OF  Ti  E  PIACE  0?  REASOK    Ih    ETOICS,    1950,    or  n.C.Ewing,   BflEICi, 
1953f   and  especially    the  Cambridge  ethicist,    Donald   MacKensie   Mackinnon,   A 
STUDY    IN   ETIÜCAL  TiIEORY,    1962.      But   you   obviously   have   reasons  of  your  own   foi 
not   including  such   a  peeitive  or  negative   evaluation  of  eudaemonisra;   and   as 
you   gave  Kant   all    the  more  space,    would  you    be    interested   in   the   POOpapes   of 
my  analysis   of  Kantus    ethics    in  my  KAiMPF  UM   DEN  LEBENSSINN,    1933.      Thougl^j    I 
was   at   that   time  entirely  unknoWv<>^tside  of   Germany,    the   bock   was   emphatically 
hailed    by  a  Yale  professor   in    the  JOURNAL  UF  PHILOSOPhY  p.n  Paris   and  praisod 
Oven   by  Oxford  kyxxH   in  MINO,   apart    from    the  fact   that   such   a  Kant    interpreter 
as   Ernst   Cassirer  adopted   Uiy   views;    and   Cassirer's   evaluation   of  Kant   out- 
shines,   not  only   in  my  opinion,    that  of  his    teachcr  Hermann   Cohen  who,   despite 
all    the   lasting  raerits  of  his  neokantianism,   was   less    free  from  Kantian  pre- 
judices    than   Cassirer.      But  my   publisher   Felix  Meiner   wa^^   not   allowod   by    the 
Nazis    to   advertise    the  KaMPF  UM  DEN   LEBENSSINN  and,    as   he  wrote  me    in   1946, 
all  his    copies   in   Leipzig  were   destroyed   by   bcnb  attacks    in    the  Seccnd   V'orld 

'''''^^*  If  you   would   care    to  have  a  copy   of   this    book,    I   would 

gladly  send  you   one,    though    I   foresee    that  you   may  not   at  all   agree  with  me. 

A  new  small  book  of  mine  on  mysticism  will  appec^r  soon  in 
Ger:iian  and  in  Kebrew,  while  ray  BENThAM  hND  THE  riKICS  OF  TODaY  of  1952  is  al- 
ready out  of  print. 

Once  again,   all    the  vcry  best   for   1963.

Dear  Prof  .Baumf^ardt, 

I  have  put  off  answering  your  endearing  letter^because 
I  wanted  to  brief  you  on  the  progresses  of  my  American 
program,  It  is  possible, that  an  appliance  of  mine  to  the 
American  Council  of  Learned  Societies  may  be  taken  into 
consideration^because  it  seems  on  accord  with  a  program 
they  have,of  american  studie8(  financed  by  the  "^ord 
■f^oundation),  Meanwhile,my  Situation  here  in  Italy  is  nei- 
ther  improving  nor  worsening.lt  is  better  I  don't  teil  you 
what  I  am  forced  to  think  of  these  peoplelThey  are  the 
worst  expression  of  the  celebrated  "odiura  theologicum"! 
More  exactly,they  are  good  samples  of  the,no  less  celebra- 
ted, merchants  of  the  temple. 

Tour  difficulties  concerning  my  french  paper  are  too  ob- 
"ious^first  of  all  by  the  fact  that  new  ideas  should  be  ex- 
pounded  completely,and  that  proved  impossible,  Generally 
speaking,my  method  can  be  called  the  transcendental  theory  , 
of  language,or,  .  more  broadly,a  "philosophy  of  institu4i 
tions".  There  have  been  many  philosophies  of  institutions 
in  the  course  of  history:  take  for  example  the  ancient 
sophi8tic,platonism,english  empiricism^hegelian  dialectics, 
However,nobody  seems  to  have  been  aware  that:  a)  a  real 
philosophy  of  institutions  should  be  able  to  go  back  to 
the  principle,or  general  concept,of  institution  (as  opposed 
to  nature,or  realityj.And,  b)  t...^^  such  a  principle,if  it 
exists,must  have  the  paradoxical  character  of  being  univ- 
ersal just  because  it  is  unreal, fictitious.^e  are  acrust- 
omed  to  think  of  fictitious  things  as  accidental  by  defin- 
ition,and  indefinite  concerning  the  number  of  the  prin«*^ 
ciples  that  can  originate  tham,  It  seems  to  me,that  we  are 
mistaken:  there  is  one,and  but  one  principle  of  cur  fancies 
and  of  our  institutions, and  that  is  the  principle  of  lan- 
guage. 

You  surely  don't  need  a  long  speech  to  penetrate  my   ideaj 
but  let  mt  submit  two  further  considerations: 


t 


l 


I 


When  Kant  introduced  his  meaning  of  'transcendental •  and 
'transcendentali9m',what  did  he  want  to  say?  There  seem  to 
eiist  but  twD  possible  interpretations,and  one  of  them  is 
certainly  TOong.  If  he  conceived  his  'transcendental •  as  a 
structure  of  reality,it  follows  that  his  philosophy  remain- 
ed  an  ontology  (so,indeed,it  came  out  to  be:  but  that 
destroyed  the  idea  itself  of  criticism,as  a  philosophy  in- 
dependent  of  metaphysics) .  If,then,the  transcendental  is 
no  real  feature  of  things,it  must  be  a  fictitious  method 
employed  by  the  human  mind.Such  being  the  case,the  tran- 
scendental character  of  this  raethod  must  be  founded  in  the 
method  itself.  That  is  to  say,we  could  never  get  clear 
ideas  without  that  method:  indeed^it  is  just  what  happens 
to  US  with  the  use  of  language! 

Second:  suppose  you  have  an  idea  of  some  objectjlacking 
clarity  and  distinction  (to  put  it  in  the  classic, but  de- 
ceiving, terms  employed  by  De3cartes),and  suppose  that  some- 
body  wants  to  clear  it  up  for  you. He  will  never  succeed^if 
he  must  Substitute  for  the  idea  you  have  a  really  different 
one.It  is  needed  that  we  may  have  ideas  that  are  different 
subjectively  -  that  is  to  say, for  the  purposes  of  cur  know- 
ledge  -  but  not  really, not  ontologically.  Now,the  only  one 
condition  satisfying  it,is  that  our  mind  may  be  able  to  mo- 
ve  outside  of  any  reality.  That  is  just  our  method  of  the 

language. 

My  principles  have  an  important  use  in  the  theory  of  va- 
lues.In  effect,if  'value ' (universal )  is  suppösed  to  be  so- 
mething  more  than  a  method  (in  itself, a  pure  flatus  vocis), 
it  will  destroy  every  concrete  value.Mysticism  will  be  in 
fact  unavoidable;what  is  more, this  sort  of  mysticism  will 
prove  destructive  even  of  religion,however  religious  philo- 
sophers may  have  cherished  it! 

Excuse  my  ennoying  you, and  be  sure  of  my   lasting  grate- 
fulness.

April   ?7,   19C0 


Dear  l^rofesr^or  Galimberti: 


I  ■ 

The  or,p;anization  of  a  Frstschrift  for  my  70th 
birthday    took  place   corapletel.y   behind  my   back    the  last   few  tnonths; 
and  you'r  most  welcome  contribution    to   it  reached  me,    then,   along 
with   such   a  nice  pile  of  others    that,   unforturately ,    I    could  not 
yet  study  your  MS  with   sufXicient  leisure,  ^ 

,.^    Nevertheless,   you  shall  be  the  very   first  whorn  I 
wish   to   thank  with  special  warrath   for  your  great  kindness  which  has 
sincerely  raoved  me,      I   raust   confess    that  my   love  of   the   Italian 
languuge  is  rather  unrequited.      I   think  it  the  most  beautiful  and 
sonorous   language  I  know  of,   even  more  so    than  ancient   Greek,    though 
ancient  Hebrew  seems    to  me,    perhaps ,    capable  of  greater   emphatic  and 
ecstatic   fervor.      But   during  practically  all  my   travels   in   Italy  I 
was   in   the  Company  of  my   late  cousin,   an  art  dealer  who  had  settled 
in  Rome  and   Capri   since  about   1900,   and  we  could  not  help  speaking 
our  mother   tongue  —   Gerraan.      Your  article,   however,   should   be 
printed   in   Italian, 

Already  now  I  believe   I  cannot  be  mistaken  in  calling 
your   ossay'*'fine  and  vätluable  piece  of  penetrating  analysis.      I  hope 
my  only    too   corsory   reading  has   not   brought  about  misinterpretation 
of  your  principal   tondencies  and   these   tendenci^s   seem   to  rae^very 
sound   indeed  and  vividly   formulated:    to  stress   the    "fluidita"  of 
Aristotle's   language  and  itp  thod   in  contrast    to    the   belief  in    the 
scholastic  idea«  of  a  ,p€4«-fretl  nristotelian  system  on  the  one  hand 
and  a  mmore  '  philological   interpretation  of   the  genesis   of  his 
thought  on   the  other  hand  —   this    thesis 
references    to    the  meaning  of  Arfetotelian 

to  S'0(f(^<\  and, not   to 


being  supported  by  succinct 
ethical  concepts   reaching 


forget,<r-^6^<fA  A<<r«< 


fromt/^5 

With  your  permission,    I  should  like   to  send  a  copy 
of  your   essay   to   Werner  Jaeger  who  wrote  a  very   warm   birthday   letter 
but,  unfortunately,   cannot  contribute   to    the  Festschrift  on  account 
of  a  long  trip  to  Ii:urope  and  the  far   too  short   time  liroit.      It  would, 
however,    be   too   good   if  Jaeger   still  had    influence   enough  at  Harvard 
to  secure  soraething  for  you   there.      But  let  me  not  promise  anything 
prematurely. 

Let  me  ask,    instead,    would    it   be  of  any   use   to   you    to 
receive  in   invitation   from  Catholic  University,   Washington,    D.C. 
Ä   few  very  able  scholars    teach   there,      But,    of  course,    I   wonder 
whether  such  a  call   would  be  aeceptable   to  you    for  quite  a  nuraber 
of  re.  &ons.   Also,    the  Rice  Institute,   Houston,    Texas,    which  has  a 
very  good  reputation  araong  philosophers   in   this   country,   may  not 
sufficiently   impress  some  of  your   "stränge"  colleagues  back  home. 
The  only  point   to  consider   is   th4*  it  would   be  easier  to  succeed 
there   than  at  Columbia,   Harvard  or  Princeton,    though  even  at  Boston 
University  Bertocci,   who  has  long  shown  me  marked  friendliness, 
cannot  achieve  anything  worth^while.      But  I  will  certainly  continue 
pressing  the  issue. 

For,   again,   it  seems   to  me  outrafreous  —  and  this   is 
a  mild  expression  —   that  a  scholar  of  your  unusual  abilities,    learn- 
ing,   subtlety  and  exquisiteness  of  expression  should  not   find  a 
far   too   long  overdue  recognition, 

Again,    my    wärmest   thanks    for   your  most  \elcome   essay

Dear  Professor   Baumgardt, 

some  of  your  friends,in  Germany  and  in  America,  invited 
me  to  oontribute  a  paper  of  mine  to  a  volume,to  be  publi- 
shed  in  your  honor,taking  the  occasion  of  your  seventieth 
year.  I  should  send  my  paper  to  Dr.B.J.Sternglass  in  Pitts- 
burgh,but,the  date  of  your  birthday  being  now  approaching, 
I  Address  it  directly  to  you,with  my  wärmest  good  wishes, 
not  to  come  too  late.  I  brief  Dr.Sternglass,and  I  am  con- 
fident  that  he  will  under stand  the  reason  of  my  behavior. 

I  take  this  opportunity  to  send  you  back  prof. Gutmann *s 
letter;I  feel  really  indebted  to  you.     ^ 

As  for  your  idea,of  my  possible  return^  to  America  by 
means  of  an  invitation  to  Pendle  Hill,I  have  been  tempted 
to  accept  that  stimulating  projeot  and  to  profit  once  more 
by  your  kindness.What  makes  me  to  hesitate  is,that  my  un- 
certain  Situation  here  in  Italy  may  be  equally  improved  or 
precipitated  by  an  absence,according  to  the  reason  of  it: 
an  invitation  to  Columbia  would  oertainly  improve  the  Si- 
tuation,whereae  I  am  not  sure  that  one  to  Pendle  Hill 
could  have  the  same  effeot,  Personally,I  donft  feel  at- 
tracted  by  big  names;but  I  am  crossing  a  really  difficult 
period  of  my  life,and  I  must  aot  oarefully. 

Agree,once  more, best  wishes  to  you  and  kind  regards 


to  mr s. Baumgar dt !

Dear  Prof .Baumgardt , 


agree,please,the  warraest  good  wishes  for   an  happy 
new  year!    Let   rae   take   this  opportunity  to   teil  you 
again  how  rauch   indebted  I  feel   toward  you  "because  of 
your   exq.uisite  kindness  and  friendliness.Your   letters 
are  for   me   a  treasure    I  keep  carefully. 

Concerning  the   last    of  them,in  which  the   names   are 
indicated  of  some  major  gerraan  professors   in  philosophy, 
well   acquainted  with  you,I  raust   inform  you  that,with 
sorrow,!  have  "been  forced  to   delay  my  trip  to  Gerraany; 
next  yeaT,when  I  undertake   it,your   letter  will  "be   a 
precious   introduction   there«    About   all  that,I  will   cer- 
tainly  teil  you  later. 

I  hope   that  you  may  be   peacefully  working  along  the 
shore   of  the  Atlantic, as    I  am  doing  here,not   so  peace- 
fully   and  araong  less  graceful   surroundings,but  with  no 
smaller   pleasure.   An  article   I  wrote   some  months  ago 
has  been  accepted  by  an  iraportant   french  review, and 
will   appear   thereji  call    it    a  success,among  more,becau- 
se   ii  concerns   some   arguments  of  logics   and  method,and 


I   am  a  bit   of  a  revolutionary. . ♦

It  will  "be  deeply  interesting,to  me,to  know  some 
day  youT   opinion  concerning  the  projects  of  european 
Union  we  are  favoring  here,however  difficult  it  raay 
appear  to  make  them  a  realization.  Incidentally,they 
axe  one  of  the  reasons  compelling  me  to  look  for  a 
more  intimate  intercourse  and  knowledge  with  Germans 
alöO.But,how  will  the  German  folk  react  to  a  new  poli- 
tical  Situation  binding  them/ with  Prance,Italy,eto.? 
Must  we  fear  to  he  once  more  erschrocken  by  folly  and 
ferocity  arising  from  the  spirit  of  our  new  partners, 
supposing  they  become  it?  You  are  now  a  fortunate 
American, and  it  will  be  important  to  know  what  your 
past  experiences  suggest  to  you  to  foresee  on  the  sub- 
ject,looking  as  you  can  do  at  a  distance. 

Let  me  conclude  by  repeating  how  much  indebted  I 
feel  to  you, and  by  begging  you  to  agree  best  wishes. 


to  you  and  your  family.

11  Baumgardt  ha  ragione  :  e  qui  il  problema  di  Kant.  Perchtj  nella  Crtttca 
della  Ragion  Pura  la  deduzione  trascendentale  iporta  alla  costruzione  di  un 
mondo  razionale  nel  quäle  si  trovan  le  basi  del  mondo  empirico,  le  sue  condi- 
zioni.  Ma  la  stessa  deduzione  trascendentale  per  la  ragion  pratica  non  conduce 
allo  stesso  risultato,  non  puö  condurvi.  üeve  portare  infatti  al  n^ultato  intima- 
mente  contraddittorio  che  appunto  il  mondo  intelligibile,  anzieht  contener  le 
basi  del  mondo  etico-empirico,  si  oppone  ad  esso.  ^ 

Questo  era  stato  da  noi  oscuramente  visto  nel  nostro  «  Saggio  sul  rimorso  » 
nel  Qualc  (ci  si  perdoni  l'autocitazione)  avevamo  tentato  di  liberare  l'ultimo  re- 
siduo  di  empirico  nel  mondo  deirintelligibile.  mostrando  la  non  empiricitä  (la 
non  sentimentalit^)  del  concetto  di  Achtung.  Noi  non  ci  eravamo  p<T  vero 
dire  curati  di  ricostruire  allora  quella  deduzione  trascendentale  dell  etica  che 
qui  il  Baumgardt  compie  con  decisiva  chiarezza,  mostrandone  l'insufficienza. 
Non  perciö,  si  badi,  riteniamo  che  l'etica  kantiana  debba  essere  abbandonata  . 
gi^  prima  del  Baumgardt,  Rudolf  Otto  aveva  nntato  che  la  quaestto  juris 
deirimperativo  non  e  risolta,  n^  nella  terza  parte  della  Grundlegung  ne  nella 
Kritik  der  pr.  V.  —  ma  ciononostante  aveva  usato  l'etica  kantiana  giustificandola 
con  un  «  fenomeno  iondamentale  »  metafisico  che  gli  permise  di  passare  a 
üueiruso  profondo  del  concetto  di   Anlage  sul  quäle  si   basa   tutto  das  lieütge, 

Ma  questa  e  questione  che  va  trattata  in  ben  altra  scxle  che  in  quella  di 
recensione.  11  libro  dil  Baumgardt  merita  ben  di  piü.  Noteremo  soltanto,  di  sfug- 
gita  che  siamo  ben  lieti  di  vedere  anche  in  un  critico  tanto  prolondo  la  sensa- 
zione  iietta  deirinsufficienza  e  del  partito  .preso  nelPantikantismo  etico  de  lo 
SciiEiER  :  anche  il  Baumgardt  vede  nelPusodel  termine  «  apriori  »  per  parte  dello 
SciiEi  ER  un  tradimento  delle  vere  intenzioni  di  Kant.  Notevole  inoltre  la  critica 
del  preteso  kantismo  di  Heidegger  :  il  Baumgardt  enudea  bene  Taspetto  yolu- 
tamente  eroico  che  lo  Heideggfj?  ha  tentato  di  dare  alla  c<  coscienza j»  kantiana, 
portando  cosi  ad  uno  spostamento  di  valori  nel  piano  stesso  delPetic^i. 

La  morale  di  Kant  ^  morale  per  uomini,  per  uomini  überhaupt,  Non  prero- 
gativa  di  qualche  superuomo.  Non,  forse,  certezza  raggiungibile  per  alcuno.  Ma 
sforzo  di  chiunque  verso  una  realt^  migliore  —  anche  se  essa  debba,  P^^^  ^^^^^ 
di  cose,  restare  ideale  e  quindi  problematica.  Makiü  M.   Kossi

California   (USA),   author  of  a  book  on  Jakob  Böhme.      When 
I  w:s  at  Pendle  Kill   I  was   the  only  Jew   ,   my   f^f  J^^f » 
livinr  with  me   ther.  ,   was   a  Roman  Catholic.      Bit  there  ctre 
ienerally   .roter. tan t*,    Catholics  of  variou.  nationalities, 
fomctSes   even  represent.. tives  of   ^ast  Asia  in   the  Pendle 
Hill  group. 

Kow,    I  ara  not   at  all   sure   if  puch  a  kaiBkÄ 
religious   background.    though   definitely  liberal  and  en- 
lightened,   would  apoeal    to  you  and  whether  you   ^ould  not 
prefer   to   postpone  your   trip   to   this   ^«^J^^ry  un  il  sotnething 
more  attractive   to  you   co.;ld   be  arrajnged.      But    if  you  w^nt 
to  come  over   as   soon  as   posnible  and   would   be  wiUm^  to 
rive  a  cüursfe  on     William  Jaojes,   Eergson,    etc.   or  on 
ethics,    I  hope  I  will  succeed  in  making  at  least   this 
rnodect   assignment  possible. 

Reaching  this  spring   the  age  of  70,   I  fenve 
now  retired  from  lecturing  but  am,   I   think,   still  on   the 
v^^ry  best   torns  with  all  my   colleagues;  and  yet,    I  ^^  J '^V

University  or  at   the  Rice  Institute,  Houston,   Tex.ao,   c^n 
ofler  soraethirg  better. 

As   to   the  Germans,   I   think   that  after   their 
c;econd  defeat   in   the  twentieth  Century   they  are  no  more 
bemf^^l  -n   the  Frcnch   in   the  late  nineteenth  Century,

particularly  today  no  one  can  pose  f-^l^lll'J^^  ^niSn  ^f 
I  hope  the  present  German  govornment  and  J.  c^osf^^^"'"^"  ""^

last  week  I  was  in  Paris, to  take  a  part  in  the  "Con- 
gres  Bergaon"  where  I  had  been  invited,and  there  I  met 
padre  Giacon,the  Chief  Organizer  in  Venice  last  fall. 
So,Ican  finally  inform  you  that  every  paper  of  the  con- 
gre/is  will  be  published  before  January,and  the  proofs 
sent  to  the  authors. 

On  the  subject  of  my  being  possib/ly  invited  by  Colum- 
bia University  neit  year,I  have  received  no  reply  trom 
prof.Blau.  lLaybe,the  project  so  kindly  formed  by  you 
prooved  impossiblej  but  I  teil  you,because  it  would  be 
a  serious  concern  to  me,should  I  teceive  such  an  invitation 
too  late,  To  stay  abroad  for  some  months,!  must  prepaure 
timely,because  my  appointments  at  Genoa  University  are 
annual,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  I  have  now  been  a  Pro- 
fessor there  for  eighteen  years.  Present  academic  life  in 
Italy  has  stränge  aspects  (and  stränge  men  to  impose  them 
by  Strange  ways...). 

Sicuse  me,and  agree  kind  regards  and  best  wishes!

I  feel  concern  and  8orrow,about  all  the  trouble  I  have 
been  causing  you!  Thank  you  for  ererything, in  particular 
for  your  kind  letter  of  June  5th,  it  reveal^s  the  way  of 
feeling  of  a  really  fine  and  eiperienced  man, and  of  a  true 

My  delav  may  seem  ineicusable,but  I  wanted  to  brief  you 
concerning  the  Rockefeller  ?oundation,to  trtiich  I  had  ap- 
plied for  a  financial  help  for  research  in  the  U.S.A. 
1   pre«ently  know  that  I  was  unsuccessful.As  Mr  John  llarshall 
(ass^S^Ictor)  has  bitten  me,he  has  "showed  my  letter  to 
seve-^al  of  his  colleagues.one  of  them  particulaxly  ^o^^^^"^^ 
with  work  in  philosophy",hut  "the  fact  is  that  presently  the 
R.P.  has  rather  more  specific  interests  in  philosophy,and 
we  have  to" doubt  that  we  could  get  consideration  here  for 
a  general  inquiry"  of  the  sort  I  had  suhmitted.      _ 

In  siDite  of  the  difficulties  apparently  heaping  against 
my  retm-n,I  will  remain  confident  as  long  as  men  like  you 
will  have  a  henevolent  glance  on  it.  Indeed,  (to  teil  it 
in  italian  way)  il  cuore  mi  dice  that  some  day  I  will  pay 
a  Visit  to  you  a^^  to  Mrs  Baumgaxdt  on  the  wonderful  shore 
I  already  >now.  I  keep  your  kind  invitation:maybe,  for 

^^MeInthile,I  send  you  a  small  paper  recently  puhlished,and 
remain  confident  that  you  will  agree  my  deep  feeling  of 
indebtedness.  Incidentally:  whenever  you  may  have  some  reason 
for  writing,will  you  kindly  suggest  to  me  the  names  of  some 
phUrsopher;  of  your  old  ac.uaintance  in  the  german  --t--? 
I  will  possibly  have  a  trip  there  during  the  autumn,or  later.

Dear  Prof  Baumgitrdt , 


excuse    this  belated  reply  to  your  kind  letter  ! 
I  "became    ill,;>Jmost   three  months   a{;o,"bein;^  absent 
from  my  hörne, and  could  return  here   only  yesterday. 

It*s   always   a  pleasure   to    send  you  ray  poor  pa- 
pers,which  you  receive   with  a  mind  30   open  and 
well   disposed.In  rny  turn   I  alwj*ys   welcone   your 
writin^^g;    30,don't   care,plea8e,about   th*ir  being 
dritten   in  spanish  or   german,    I  am  acquainted  with 
those    lan^ages;    I  remember   having  talked  vdth  you 
in   /?:er!nan,when  we   first   met    in  yo\ir   office   at   the 
Con,^e3s   Library. 

How  are  p^ople   and  thing3,presently, in  America? 
Ilere,!  suspect   my  country  to  be   on  the  verge   of  a 
fearful   intellectual   decay,    unless   something  new 
happens:    but  what , I  confess  not   to  know.    Let  us 
be   patient!   The    idea  has   its   own  paths. , .3o,ät 
least,would  have   said  that   old  rogue, Hegel. 

I'm  sending  you  another   srnall  paper   of  rQine,of 
American    subject.   Meanwhile,agree    ray  kind  regards

D«ar   Doctor  Bauoigardt, 

I   will   be   gl  ad  to    sce  you   again,Knd  to  have 
a  talk  with  you  on  philosophical    subjects,      when 
you  come  here  on  your  travel   to   India.    I   will  want 
to  know  naore   exactly  the  date   of  your   arrival;    if 
the    season   is  not   ob jectionable,I  will   possibly 
arrange    some   neeting  with  friends  here,Please,don 't 
mis3  informing  me   timely* 

I  had  a  peculiar  reason^this  year,to  welcome 
your  writings  on  british  ethic8,since   I  have   a   se- 
Tiinar  on  contemporary  english  philo sophy.It 's  a 
pity  that  we   have   very   few  3tudent8,and  a  part   of 
them  unable   to   read  #v  english 1 

I   am   sending  you  the    article  I   hinted  to   in 
my  former  letter;    quotation  of  your  book  on  Benthaun 
is  page   102    (as  numbered  in  the   magazine);    but,maybe, 
by  this  time  you   saw  it   in   the  magazine  itself«(l) 

Thank  you  again  for  your  calling  the   interest 
of  the   staff  of  Gongress 'Library  on   my  requeetjin 
itselfjtheir  answer  did  not  help   much,but   it  was 
useful  with  the   american  libraries  here, in  order  to 
get   further  help! 

Warm  regards  and  best  wishes

Chiar.mo  Prof.  Baumgardt, 


fui  molto  lieto  di  apprendere  dalla  Sua 
gentile  lettera,la  scorsa  estate,che  il  mio 
piccolo  saggio  sul  Perry  avesse  ottenuto  l'ap- 
provazione  Sua  e  quella  di  altri  membri  della 
facoltä  alla  Columbia  University.  Altri  sagge- 
relli  di  filosofia  araericana  contemporanea,che 
ho  consegnati  da  tempo,  usciranno  prossimamen- 
te  sulla  stessa  rivista.Non  mancherö  di  inviar- 
ne  a  Lei  l'estratto. 

Che  ne  6  del  Suo  viaggio  in  India?  Rara- 
mento  che  Ella  dovette  rinviarlo,ma  spero  ugual- 
mente  che,quando  lo  compirä,  passi  per  l'Italia 
e  voglia  onorarmi  di  una  Sua  visita. 

Prattanto,Le  invio  coriiali  auguri  per  il 


prossimo  anno! 

Suo  dev.mo

D  e 


ar       Prof.      Baumgardt, 

I   am  really  indebted  to  you  for  your  interesting 
papers,and   for  the   "Goethes  Centuries"  with  the   lovely 
plates  in  it.    I  appreciate  this  gift,becau8e  I  have  been 
Tiyself  lively  interested  in  Goethes  worics.   Your  work:  on 
Bentham  &  the  Bth.of  Today  I   cited  in  an  article  to  be 
published  neitly  by  GIORNALE  CR.   DELLA  ?ILOS.    ITALIÄNA; 
I  will   send  you  the   paper.   Your  experiences  in  present 
tendencies  of  the  British  studies  in  ethica  are  very  itn- 

portantjin  my  opinion. 

Now,may  I  trouble  you  for  some   Information? 

The   "Centro   di  studi  filosofici  di  Gallarate"    (a 
Catholic  group)   is   Publishing  a  philosophical  encyclopae- 
dia;    through  a  friend,they  resorted  to  me   for  short   articles 
on  a  number  of  American  professorsjbut   I  cannot  carry  *li« 
work  through,  since  books   as    'Who  is  who   in  Philosophy '  ,or -^^^ 
the    'Directory  of  Am.Scholars' ,are  not   available   in  Italy. 
I   am  in  need  of  biografical  dates  and  titles  of  most  im- 
portant  writings.    I  think  that   the  cJkress  Library, if 
requested  by  you, will  not  refuse  collaborationjtherefore, 

I   send  you  my  list  of  narae». 

Excuse,pleaae,my  troubling  you, and  agree  wishes  of 
an  happy  summer!  ^^^Lr^y     C  -     '

Dear  Dr»  "Baumgardt: 


f 


Dr.  Spaulding,  the  Associate  Cultural  Attachft  in  the 
American  "nimbaspy  at  "Bonn,  has  written  me  (l)  that  "the 
Pulbright  Commission  in  Germany  has  very  little  to  do  with 
the  selection  of  Americans  for  the  program*  and  (2)  that 
anyone  in  the  United  States  who  feels  that  he  can  raake  a 
contribution  in  university  teaching  or  Isctjring  overseas 
(or  advanced  research)  should  corinunicate  with  the  Confer- 
ence Board  of  Associated  Research  Councils,  2101  Constitu- 
tion Ave.,  Washington  25,  D.C,  which  is  the  "preliminary 
selection  agency»  for  that  aspect  of  the  Pulbright  Program. 

I  hope  that  if  you  should  decide  to  look  into  this,  the 
results  will  be  satisfying. 

Cordially  yours.

Dear  Dr.  Bauragardt, 

Compllcatlons  have  unfortunately  arlsen  in  connectlon 
wlth  the  sendlng  of  a  cable  of  Inqulry  about  Margaret  Roths- 
child' 8  Visa. 

After  the  Visa  Division  had  been  supplled  wlth  the  In- 
formation whlch  you  telegraphed  me,  I  was  Informed  by  that 
Division  that  the  Consulate  at  Birmingham  recelves  appllca- 
tlons  for  vlsltor\!Ä  vlsas  only,  that  It  would  be  necessary 
to  know  whether  the  Immlgratlon-vlsa  appllcatlon  had  been 
made  at  Liverpool  or  London,  that  the  lady's  blrth  In  Germany 
almost  certalnly  entltles  her  to  a  vlsa  If  your  sponsorshlp 
af'ldavlt  Is  consldered  acceptable  by  the  Consulate,  and 
that  In  many  cases  of  thls  sort  the  delays  arlse  not  wlthln 
the  Consulate  but  on  account  of  the  appllcant's  need  to  avralt 
the  arrlval  of  a  document  such  as  a  blrth  certificate, 

I  was  told  that  the  recommended  Inqulry  Is  one  from  the 
Sponsor  to  the  appllcant  as  to  Just  what  the  appllcant  was 
told  by  the  Consulate,  that  the  second  cholce  la  a  commer- 
clal  cable  from  the  Sponsor  to  the  proper  Consulate,  and  that 
a  cable  uslng  the  Department 's  wlres  Is  Indlcated  only  in 
cases  of  emergency  or  where  a  cable  from  the  Department  will 
deflnltely  clear  up  an  obscure  polnt  in  the  Consulate' s  In- 
formation. 

My  recollectlon  of  the  letter  whlch  I  wrote  on  behalf 
of  Margaret  Rothschild  is  vague  on  the  cruclal  polnt,  and  I 
do  not  have  my  copy  at  hand;  therefore,  I  do  not  know  what 
Consulate  is  involved.   If  I  knew,  it  mlght  be  suitable  for 
me  to  send  a  commercial  cable  or  an  RCA  radiogram  somewhat 
along  these  llnes:

Dear  Dr.  Baumgardt, 

The  Vlea  Division  of  the  Department  of  State  has  informed  me 
as   follows:     The  Department  sent  an  air-mail   communication  to   the 
Embaesy  at  Buenos  Aires  ne€^r  the  end  of  May  1947,   regarding  the  visa 
case  of  the  Landaus.      In  that   comriiunication,   which  probat ly  arrived 
in  Buenos  Aires  about  the  middle  of  June,    the  Department  (l)    sent 
such  background  Information  as  it  had  on   the   subject  and  (2)    instructed 
the  consular  officer  concerned  with  the  case  to  consider  the  application 
and.   In  the  event  of  a  favorable  declsion  on  his  part,   to   submit  the 
case  to   the  Department   for  a   "number**,  presumably  a  priori ty  nuaber. 
The  Visa  Division  believes  that  the  consular  officer  is  probably  fttill 
investigatin^  the  matter. 

I  appreclate  very  puch  your  kindness  in  mentioning  me  to   those 
in  Charge  of  the  Conference  on  Science,  Philosophy  and  Religion.     That 
I  have  not  heard   from  them  is  understandable,   in  view  of  the  availabll- 
Ity  of  80  many  eminent   thinkers  in  this  part  of  the  country.     Your  own 
contribution,   which  you  were  good  enough  to   send  me.   is  a  valuable  ad- 
dition  to  the   literature  on  the  nature  of  the  Philosophie  enterprist. 

Will  you  please  drop  me  a  line  about   the  early  dialogues  of 
Aristotle,  which  you  describe  as  having  been  recently  unearthed? 
Where  lüay  I   find  them? 

Best  wishes  to  you  and  your  wife. 

Cordially, 

William  Gerber

that  I  shall  bo  able  to  return  to  my  forme/  Job. 

I  ear:erly  anticipate  the  opi)ortunity  of  discusping

Dear  Dr«  and  Mrs*  "Raiuneardt, 

Thank  you  rery  much  for  your  welcome  letter  and  its  en- 
closures*   I  deeply  appreciate  the  compliment  you  paid  me  in 
proposing  my  name  as  a  participant  in  the  1945  session  of 
the  Conference  on  Science,  Philosophy  and  Rel-^ßinn»  Those 
in  Charge  of  the  meeting,  however — "vrisely,  T  think--preferreö 
to  place  others  on  the  program» 

Accepting  both  of  the  crit^.cisms  which  you  kindly  of- 

f^red  in  renpeot  to  my  propooed  dofinition  of  pV\llocopV\y,  X 

shall  submit  a  revised  yersion  of  the  definition  for  further 
refinenient  or  correction*  You  obnerve  that  the  definition 
••Philosophy  is  the  clarificaticn  of  ideas*  would  improperly 
exclude  symbolic,  mystical,  poetic,  and  speculatiye  expres- 
sions  from  the  domain  of  philosophy.  To  neet  this  valid  ob- 
jection,  I  propose  to  Substitute  the  werde  •attempt  tc  achieve 
an  enhanced  understanding**  for  the  word  ••clarification'^.  This 
change  plus  the  replacement  of  •ideas'*  by  ••basic  ideae'^,  which 
is  your  second  Suggestion,  results  in  the  following  formula: 
••Philosophy  in  the  attempt  to  achieve  an  enhanced  understanding 
of  basic  ideas*" 

This  formula  would  leave  open  the  possibility  of  accepting 
as  legitimate  a  use  of  '•philosophy'^  which  I  believe  is  quite 
proper,  namely,  references  to  "the  philosophy  ^^  somethingt 
Hegel  objected  to  such  usages  as  "the  philosophy  of  cosmetics'^ 
and  '•the  philosophy  of  advertising**,  but  there  seem  to  be  more 
advantages  than  disadvantages  in  admitting  "the  philosophy  of 
business"  (which  is  the  title  of  a  book  published  this  past 
week),  "the  philosophy  of  adrertising",  "the  philosophy  of  the 
atomic  bomb",  "the  philosophy  of  the  tariff",  etc*   Although 
you  properly  object  to  the  inclusion  of  Ideas  about  cats,  the 
tariff,  etc.,  in  the  field  of  "philosophy",  I  think  it  would  be 
desirable  to  admit  "the  philosophy  of  the  tariff"  and  similar 
phrases  as  meaning,  for  example,  "the  attempt  to  achieve  an  en- 
.hanced  understanding  of  basic  ideas  concerned  w^th  the  tariff". 
The  inadequacy  of  my  previour  definition  appearo  in  the  fact  that 
"the  philosophy  of  the  tariff",  acrording  to  that  definition, 
would  mean  "the  clarification  of  (all  or  any,  rather  than  basic) 
ideas  concerned  with  the  tariff". 

If  and  when  we  reach  agreement  on  a  definition  of  philosophy, 
perhaps  cur  next  problem  should  be  that  of  the  method  of  philoso- 
phy. One  of  US  could  propose  for  discussion  a  principle  of  Philo- 
sophie method,  such  as  "There  is  one  and  only  one  avenue  by  which 
an  enhanced  understanding  of  basic  ideas  may  be  achieved,  namely, 
.••"  or  "There  are  four  avenues  by  which  an  enhanced  understanding 
of  basic  ideas  may  be  achieved,  namely,  f..,  •••,  •••#  and

-P.- 
Do I  conclude  correctly  from  T^hat  you  say  in  your  letter 
that  you  persuaded  Schlipp  to  issue  the  fJaasirer  Tolume  not- 
withstandinc  the  fact  that  Cassirer  if?  unfortunately  no  longer 
a  "livinc"  philosopher?  I  hope  that  that  was  the  outcome. 

In  your  review  of  Louise  Eby's  The  Q.ueet  for  Moral  Law, 
you  coinnendably  continue  the  campaign — conducted  so  amusingly 
in  your  article  for  the  Journal  ^  the  History  ot   Ideas— against 
misquotations  of  Kant  and  other  Standard  authors. 

It  was  Tery  instructive  and  encouraginc  to  read  the  press 
surnmary  of  your  Conference  paper,  in  which  you  again  ably  de- 
^end  the  eraplrlcal  rerifiability  of  ethical  judcments;  Bricnt- 
man's  coCTnent  (page  1  only  received),  in  vfhich  he  deGcrlhes  you 
as  "perhaps  the  greatest  specialint  in  the  field  of  history  of 
modeln  ethics";  and  your  reply  to  -Rrightnan's  and  DeFolf's  com- 
ments.  I  also  studied  avidly  your  coinnents  on  Scoon's  paper, 
in  whlflh  you  pr'^sent  an  admirahle  defense  of  the  ohJectiTity  of 
moral  Ideals;  your  connenta  on  Kaplan' s  contribution,  in  which 
you  cause  hls  balloonß  to  collapse  by  applying  the  pinpricks  of 
irrefutable  exceptions  to  his  inflated  generali zations;  and 
your  cotments  on  Bidney's  paper,  in  which,  howeirer,  I  think  you 
are  too  hard  on  hin  for  expending  energy  on  one  necessary  Job 
(showing  that  the  antinomy  of  cultural  realism  and  cultural 
idealisra  is  a  queotion  of  "how  auch  of  each*)  rather  than  anoth- 
er  (invostigating,  in  order  to  dotormine  how  much  of  each).  - 

Has  it  occurred  to  you  that  an  American  publisher  znight  bo 
interested  in  a  translation,  or  a  new  edition  in  "Plnglish,  of 
your  history  of  modern  ethics? 

I  am  grateful  to  Mrs.  "Bauxrigardt  for  her  greeting,  which  I  . 
reciprocate.   I  trust  that  she  and  you  had  an  enjoyable  siunmer. 

Sylvia  and  young  Louis  are  well.  Ve  are  proud  of  his  deveL 
opment.  The  pronpects  of  nay  being  "demobilized'»  soon  are  not 
bright. 

I  do  not  remember  whether  T  have  told  you  that  T  pansed  my 
final  oral  examination  for  the  Ph.D.  at  Columbia  on  May  26, 
when  X  defended  ny  thesis  agalnst  the  onslaught  of  eight  pro- 
^essorlal  inquisitors,  and  that  my  dissertation  is  now  receiv- 
ing  the  final  polinhing  p reparat ory  to  being  nent  to  various 
Printers  for  entimates  of  the  coot  of  producing  the  requlred 
numher  cf  copies.  The  degree  i?   to  he  granted  after  the  cop- 
ies  haye  been  deposited  at  the  TTnlrersity.

Washinp.ton  If^,  D.C., 


Dear  Dr«  Baungardt: 

I  must  anologlze  for  havlnp  krpt  your  papers  for  so 
long  a  tine.   Hut  I  have  rea(3  and  re-rf^a(i  tbem  on  widely 
sienarated  occasions  and  hnve  genulnely  enjoyed  thr  re- 
rcadinp.   Th^  lonr  interval  was  due  to  a  period  in  w^iich 
I  round  It  npcr'^r.ary  to  X)V^V'\v^.   a  writtrn  atatenrnt  ^r\d^   ^,akf 
other  Drenaratlona  for  my  hearinr^  in  connrction  with  ny 
anpeal  for  cla^^aif Icatlon  as  a  con^^clrntiou?  objector. 

Havinr;  been  classifi^d  in  1-A,  I  anpfalod,  and  in 
such  ca?ies  a  hearinr  is  held  before  a  hearin^.  o^ficer  rcp»- 
resentinr  the  Department  of  J^istice.   The  h^aring  offic^r 
haa  nreaiwably  by  nov;  sent  bis  reconmendation  to  tbe  Anpeal 
^oard,  but  I  ha  vi?  not  rr^ceived  any  dociaion  fror^.  the  Apneal 
Board  as  yet« 

Of  the  th^er  paners  which  you  kindly  nade  available  to 
me,  I  have  noted  some  augpested  cha-ges  in  thr  case  o^  two, 
AS  follov^a: 

1,  The  article  on  legendary  q^iotationa,   Thls  is 
amuf^ing  as  v;el1  a5=  innortant.   I  should  lilre  to  aee 
yoa  publlsh  it  in  thr^  '^Connents  and  Critician"  section 
of  thn  Jour^^al  of  ^hilosonhy«   In.stead  of  indicating 
TPv  3Ugr'=^sted  changes  in  nhraaf^ology  on  the  article 
itself ,  I  havr  retyn'^d  the  a^ticIe  (mal^ing  a  few  chanpes 
in  eclitorial  style'  as  well  as  sonr  changes  in  nhraaing) 
and  have  attached  th^  retyned  verslon  to  the  orV^inal 
article.   I  have  nlaced  oDef^tion  ^narks  in  the  >-iargin  of 
the  retyped  version  at  some  places  where  my  editorial 
changes'  necesaitate  sone  revlewlng  or  filling  in.   I  ^^y 
have  gone  badly  astray  at  some  of  th^se  places. 

2.  The  cloning  sect^on  o^  the  ^entham  werk.   Your 
defense  of  Bentham  ^against  hir.  cnemies  ir.  penetrating 
and  snirlted.   The  entire  discussion  is  on  a  ^^v-;;!   higti 
plane  of  clrar  thinking.   As  these  pages  are  carbon 
copies,  I  have  tnken  the  liberty  of  indicating  some 
sugg^sted  changes  directly  ot.   the  nages.   Keedless  to 
sav^  I  have  no  snecial  oride  in  these  changes  (or  those 
in" the  article  on  legendary  quotations),  and  I  hone  that 
you  will  feel  entirely  free  to  ignore  any  or  all  of  ..hem. 
ry  editorial  exnerlence  at  the  Department  of  State   and 
similar  duties  involving  the  review  of  letters,  artlcles, 
memoranda,  and  namnhlets  v/ritten  by  others)  may  have  led 
me  to  go  too  far  in  my  suggestions.

apparently  bef^n  r^nd  already  by  sonieonf:  eise,  v/hose 
surgf^sted*  chanpes  nre  attached  to  the  papps.   On  the 
wholV,  I  think  that  those  siigpeste^d  chanf^s  are  imnrove- 
>^enta,  but  in  one  or  two  olaces  (e.f%,  "tribvmaT  of

(Many  of  thr  chanpr^  surpeated  by  me  in  the  other  two

Long  Beach,  N.Y. 

January  20,  1962 


Dear  Reve  snd  Bob: 

your   two  latcst  lottere  have  «oved 

ne  so  mich  that  I  can  answer  them  only  in  hiding 
Bur  feel  ings  bchind  a  joke 


You  wrote  that  you  are  looking 

forward   to  cur  meeting  in  Miami  as  if  it  wer« 

the  day  &r-4tie,  Meesiati^     But  to  such  a  Talmud 
Chochom  as  you  are  it  Is   certainly  well  known      _ 
thatiaccording  to  an  old  Jewish  mystic  tradition^ 
one  should  not,   moreover,  one  cannot^even  with 
the  greatest  effort   "force"   the  Coming  of  the 

Messianic  Age. 

SO,  unhappily,   even  today  I   can 

not  fix  any  date  of  arrivial   in  Florida.     Within 

les«   than  a  year  I  had  to  be  tkaen   to   the  hos- 

pital   three  tiaes  with  a  heart  attack  and  still 

have  to  lie  in  bed   the  larger  part  of  the  day. 

But  as  soon  as  Rose  and   I  can  go 
down   to  see  you,   we  certainly  will   let  you  know 

in  time,  ^         ^ 

— f-shall  show  you  then  a  few  or  my  —

Long  Beach,    L,I.,   New  Yoric  July   10,    1961 

Dear  Reve  and  Bob: 

You   certninl_y  won't  believe   that  I  needod  so  much    time 
to   answer  your  interestinfr  queistions»      If  only  you  were  around   the  corner 
again,    I  would  have  rushed  imroediately    to  #211  and  answered   them  on   the  spot# 
But  since  iny  6  weeks   in   the  hospital   I  have  received  so  many   letters  UTp:ing 
me   to   complete  my  2  major  works  on  my  own  philosophy  and  on   the  history  of 
ethics   that  I   feel  hprd  presred   to   comply  with    thewe  wishes  and   to  concon- 
trate  on   these   very  big  books.     Still,    I   could  not  refuse  to  write  an  essay 
for  my  old   friend  Robert  Weltsch,    the  editor  of  the  Leo   Baeck  publications  on 
%^ndeserved  oblivion  and  unmerited  fame"  and  another  one  about  m^  und  Ca- 
sirfer^s  attitude  toward  existentiohlsm   to  which  the  widow  of  this   very   fine 
phiicsopher  had  urged  me,     Both   thes'b  essays,   I  hope,   would  interest  you, 
But,  unfortunately,    they  are  written  in  Oerman 
not  wish    to   bürden  you   with   reading  such   MSS# 
one,   discouraged  people  to  come  to  see  me  and, 
reluctantly  dropped  all  correspondence  apart  from   the  unavoidable  bud  ness 
letters.     But  now   I   feel  I  must  revolt  against   the  doctor's  Orders  aid  write 
you,    though  only   in  most  Condensed  way. 

I  am  sure  you  know  beforehand  what   I   would  have   to   say   to 
2^^ontefiore«s  allegedly  obsolete  world  views-^^  We  both,   I  know,   do  not  go   to 
.T-'^the  grert  Talmud  teachers   for   instruction  aoout  scientific  problems.      I   re- 
member  with  ple-sure   thrt  you  seemed   to  agree  with  n  with  all  my  many  State- 
ments  in   the  book  on  mysticism    (broupht  out  now  by   Columbia  Univ,   Press)   con- 
cerning  the  complete  difference  between  scientific  .ind  religious  questions. 

expects   from  religious  writings  scientific  Information  must  remain 
disappointed  as  someone  who   expects    this    from  poetry;   and  vice-versa 
seeks  for   emotional   edification   in  science  has   to  come  back  with   emptj 
hands,    too.     One  remains  a  fool   if  one   thinks  one  can  put  *k  straight  one 's 
business  accounts   by  s inging  hymns  or   to  deliver  a  sermon  in   the  synagogue  on 
how  to  conduct  successful  business   transactions*      Different  questions   deraand 
different  answers;  ard  only  muddl.e-headed  people  can   today  maintain   that  re- 
ligion  must  at  all  costs   be  sciencet    too^^    I  do  not   think   there  is  any  need 

for  going  into  greater  det'  il  with  you  on   these  vital   things,      I  hope  we 
understood  each  other  completely  on   them  a  long  time  ago* 

As    to  your  other  principal  quertion  concerning  the  re- 
latlon  between  Judaism  and   the  Jewish  people,    I  should  perhaps   say   this    to 
simplify  matters  as  much   as  possiWe:      Liptzin  once  said   to  me   th4teven   if 
Judaism  as  a  philosophy  and  religion  would  be   taken  over   completely  by  anothf 
naticn,   he  would  not  be  interested,    because  for  him  the  Jews  are   theexclus- 
ive   topic  of  interest.     Achad  Haazn  says  about  the  opposite;   a  State  of   Israe! 
which  is  not  a  spiritual  center  but  represents  only  a  nation  like  all  others 
would  be  a  betrayal    to   our  grept  past,     Now  I  should  only  suggest  not   to 
worry   too  much  <.bout  these  two,after  all,   fictitious  concepts*     Fortunately, 
throughout  hi^tojry,  J^jd-^ism  was  Kte  intimately  conr  ected  with  Jewish  life 
and   there  is  hardly  any  possibility   that  this  union  or  even  identity  in 

reility  would  M  distroyed  unlesr   our  dear  American  Jewish  bretbeftn  become 
with     Harry  Golden,    dispisers  of  learning  for   the  first  time  in  almost   3fOOC 

yrs.   of  Jewish  history«      But   thep  they   will  disappear^as  people,    too,   apart 

from   thee,  me  and   the  XtKts  Isr-eli.      But,   of  coun>e,    if  you  are  not  satis- 

fied  with   these  rather   rou^hly  summarizing    inswers,  kindly  let  me  know« 

Sfinuel   Lublinskj^  was  an  early  adherent  of  Zionism,    though 

later  not  active   in    the  movement»     And  Jacobowski  wrote^along  with  his 

novels  and  poems  strong  polemics^ against  anti-Semitism*      Both  died  about 

50  yrs.   ago  %nd  I   do  not  think   they  could  be  called  Jewish  anti-Semites, 

al though  Jacobowski  «s  novel, which  I   definitely  remember   from  my  early  j^|>i 

reading  as^  a  ßchoolboy,deals  with  a  deeply  depressod  Jew.     I  think  stran

Pillar  of  Pire  by  Earl  Stern. 

—        RetXIXXX    Horace  Kallcn's   interpreUtion  of  the  Book  of  Job  as  a  Greek 
tragedy,   I  am  tnuch  less  i-pressed  than  the  reviewer  in  CONGRESS  WKrXLY.    -40b" 
seems   to  me  so  deeply  and  specifically  Jewish  -   to  nie  perhaps   the  aost  Jewish 
document  of  -he  Tnach  -  and  the  analogy   to-Euripides-    tragic  for«"  appears   to 
■e  so  <  tiin  that  Kallen's  whole  idea  ta  in  this  •nuteiHk  -Draiialwok«  sounds 
>ore  sensational   than  deep.     But  I  don't  know  the  ^ok  itself  and  Kallen  is  a 
d^CÄnt  man»     So  I'd  bettcr  sOi:no  more« 

üow  the  rpview  of  Shire^r.      I  am  very  glad  to   see   th  at   the  reviewer 
Elicüiu  Ben-Korin  finds   "sick  democrats"  all  over   the  globe  »iilty,  too,  fcr    the 
riseof  Hitler.     StiU,  aj   you  know.   I  don't   think   that  "the  German  people  in 
its   entirety"  is  respoAsibi;  fbr  Nazi  beastiality.      I  am  not  and  never/  have 
been  blind  toward  faults   in  Geriran  character  and  have  never  been  a  German 
Jewish  assimilanonist  of   the  type  of  Herman  fMtai  Cohen.     But  I  Know  from_ 
intiLte  e^perience,   as  Einstein  and  so  mnny  other   impartial     J«««^  ^^«f  i™«^» 
that  there  was  very  tauch  resistance  against  Hitler  among  intellectu^ls  and 
aSong  several  miUion  Social  De^ocrats.     As  you  know,   I  feel  ^^««l^^ely  ^er- 
tain  If   (God  forbid)  Rockwell  or  John  Kasper  should  ever  come  to  power  here, 
the  resist^ce  ag.^inst   their   terror  would  be  weaker  th.^  it  w  .s   in  Germany. 
Aft4  all.    there  are  wide  eoid  most   influential  circles  even  outside  the  Birch 
Society  who   insLt  that  this  countr,  is  not  a  democracy  but  a  republic  and  « 
repiblic  can  very  nicely  become  a  dictatorshij».     But  you  kr.ow  we  can  go  on  and 
on  about  this.  and  I  wonder  whether  I  could  convince  Reve  or  you,  yorself. 

Please  do  me  the  favor  and  let  it  never  enter  your  mmd  that  I  am 
silent  because  of  lack  of  devotion.  It  is  only  out  of  J^^Pf  ^^«/*^  °J  ^^^^ 
leftto  Ire  as  a  patriarch  and  in  consequence  of  the  vast  interests  which  your 
pertfcnant  questions  stir  up  in  me  and  which  I  could  f^^^^r  in  a  ^emotely  ade- 
auate  wav  only  if  you  would  return  to  Long  Beach;^  Apt.211,  at  least  for  the 
sumier^  sS,  only  keep  very.vcry  well,  both  of  you.  and  let  us  hope  for  far 
«ore  d;tailed*^d   talks  wher  I  hope  to  come  down  with  Ro^se  the  Coming  winter. 

P.S.   Please  let  me  not  be  negligent  to  TU^o/ 

mention,  under     ny  circumst^  nces,   th-t  ^^^^ 

Claude  G.Mont«fiore  was  a  man  of  outstanding 
merit   ,  as  is  his  whole  family.  His  son  intro- 
ducrd  my  first  stammering  English  lecture  in  1935 
in  London  in  presence  of  Hertz,    the  Chief  Rabbi  of  the 
British  Äpire.     Poor     Claude  Montefiore  had  only  the 
disadvintage  of  being  unacquainted  with  Baumgardt's 
philosophy  of  religion  .     But  ir.   the  19th  Century,  .  y. 

pardonably,   very  outstanding  minds  »uffered  tho  aame  4/^^^;-^ /> 
fat«a»d   to    theo   the  conflict  between  science  and  the 
worl^  View»  of  the  Talwid  seemed   to  tai  a  large  extent   to 
be  irreconcilable.     Therefore,    they  kx*  reluctantly  had  to 
sacrific«  astronoaical,   etc.   opinlons  of  the  ancient  rabbis.

cere  regret  for  the  departure  of   the  most  meritarioua  long-term  Preaifent  of 

the  iiong  Beach  Zionist  District. 

Rabbi   Goldfarb  pointed  out   what  a  shining  example  Mr.    Glaaa  aet 

by  his  never-tiring  devotion  to  cultural  work,   despite  absorption  by  his  ex- 
tended  business  activities*     Dr.   and  Mrs.   Liptzin  spoke  especially  warmly  of 
their  admiration  of  the  exemplary  courage     with  which  Mr.    Qlasa  faced  phyx- 
ical  handicap  that  would  easily  have  bowed  down  weaker  minds  and  how  strong- 
ly  he  always  was  sup^orted  by   the  devotion  of  his  gracioua  wifa  who,   in  Un- 
ion with  her  husband,  knew  how  to  aaka  their  Fleetwood  apartn:ent  a  mos  t  hos- 

pi table  cultural  center. 

Principal  Levenson  racalled  the  outstanding  energy  with  wich  Mr. 

Glass  worked  in  collaboration   with  him  for   the  growth  and  flowaring  of   the 

Long  Beach  Zionist  Crgcinization.     Mr.    Glatzer,   too,  praised  this   fiery  edu- 

cation  for  the  Zionist  causa  to  which  he  himself,  at   laast  partly  ^uccumbed. 

Dr.     nd  Mrs.  Krassner,    founders  of  B*nai  Zion,  also  praised  Robert 

Glaas*   never  exhausting  effort^  on  behalf  of  their  common  ZioniAt  work.     Mr« 

Joseph  Schikler,   founder  of  the  Long  Beach   Zionist  District,   reported  of  his 

Bob  Glass*   earliest  endeavors  within  the  Zionist  Organization.        Mr.  H  rry 

Fischer,   delegate  to   last  week^s   Annual  Zioniat  Corvention,    told  of  the  fas- 

cinating  address  by  the  Democratic  Prasidential  Candidate,  Se^nator   Kennedy. 
Mrs.  Jeanna  Katz  conveyed  the  greetings  of  the  B^nai   Zion.   Mr. Joseph  Cohen, 
al^o  former  ieiing  leading  Zionist  co-work4v,   :-nd  Mr.   Ben  Perchnock,   both  of 
West  Hemp&tcad,emphasized  their  devotion   to    the  Glaases  not  only  on   the  baaii

Dear  I.Ir.snd  Krs,   Haas: 

I'm  rether  embaressed:    I   can  offer  you  o:ily  a    very 
bad   carbon  of  my  articlG    on  Uirs.    Fisher. 

These    few  pages  were   written  for  her  55th  birthday, 
one  and   a   half   year   ago,    and   I   see   nov;  that   I   left    the    better 
oopy   in   ^/.^ashinpton.      If   you   find    the    reading   too    tir^^so^ne, 
plea   e    don't    trouble    yourself.    I   v^'ould   sladly   send   you,    then, 
a   better   typescript   later. 

As  i^rs*    Haas   shoed    such  a   kind    interest   in  v:hat   is 
left  of  my  library,    I  enclose   a   fairly  correct  reoort  about 
it. 

With  my  best  regards    to   you  and   Llr.and   [.Crs.    Sherman, 

Sincerely  yours

Lear  I'r*  Baumgardt: 

I  have  your  letters  of  May  21st  and  27th  in  regard 
to  your  examination.  I  got  in  touch  -/dth  Hr.  Hamilton 
the  day  after  I  received  your  first  letter,-  but  be- 
cause  no  definite  date  was  set  for  your  hearing  I 
thought  I  should  wait  a  few  days  before  writing  you, 

After  receiving  your  second  letter  this  mörning, 
I  again  called  I.Ir.  Hamilton  and  he  assured  me  that 
you  and  your  vdfe  will  be  called  to  f ile  and  take  your 
tests  in  June.  He  could  not  give  me  a  definite  date 
but  I  think  it  will  be  sometime  in  the  middle  of 
June — the  second  or  third  week.  I  will  let  you  know 
as  soon  as  a  definite  date  is  set  by  the  Office  by 
vdring  you  at  the  address  you  gave  me.  If  you  think 
that  you  cannot  make  the  hearing  in  the  middle  of  June, 
let  me  know  in  advance  so  that  your  case  may  be  post- 
poned. 

I  shall  envy  you  in  Vermont  as  iashington  is 
getting  pretty  warm  and  Vermont  must  be  pleasant  dur- 
ing  the  suramer  months.  Best  wishes  to  you  and  your  v/ife

Dear  Mr.  Ba-umgardtJ 

Please  pardon  my  delay  in  replying  to  your  letter  of  June  4 
"but  we  are  always  in  a  dreadful  jam  at  this  »eason  of  the  year.  As 
you  \7ill  understand,  we  do  not  fill  out  blanks  for  the  American 
Council  Ol  Learned  Societies  until  after  our  Board  has  agreed  to 
publish  a  "book,  that  is,  agreed  to  publish  it  if  the  practical  con- 
ditions  can  be  met.  The  first  step  is  to  get  the  approval  of  the 
Board.   If  you  want  to  send  along  your  nanuscript  sometime  durlng 
the  summer,  I  ^vill  do  what  I  can  to  get  it  read  and  present  the 
matter  to  the  Board  at  its  first  meeting  in  the  fall.   If  they  are 
agreeable»  I  shall  then  be  glad  to  look  into  the  practical  questions. 
I  am  sorry  for  the  necessity  of  this  delay,  but  it  is  unavoidable.

My  dear  Dr.  Malone, 

Dr.  Brlnton,  of  Pendle  Hill,  will  this  week  send 
you  my  manuscrlpt  on  Bentham.   I  am  pleased  to  be  able 
to  teil  you  that  ^/tUtgi^   last  month^  several  young 
American  philosophy  professors  showed  so  much  interest 
in  the  work  as  to  off er  to  go  over  the  manuscript 

to  polish  the  Englishw  \t   you  should  think  this 


t 


desirable. 

Needless  to  say,  T 
effort  to  comply  with  y 
the  work,  and  to  make  the 


y

Ifih  to  make  every  possible 

iSnes  about  the  printing  of 
.ky  material  less  heavy  to 
the  reader«   The  notes,  for  example,  can  if  you  liko  go 
to  the  back  of  the  bookj  and  you  may  have  other  suggestions 
I  am  enclosing  a  page  which  contains  a  f  ew  sentences  that 
might  apiay  be  put  at  the  beginning  of  my  introduction, 
on  page  one  of  the  Bentham  manuscrlpt.   The  table  of  Con- 
tents, also,  I  could  easily  put  in  a  form  more  attractive 
to  the  ordinary  reader,  yet  not  inadequate  to  the  needs 
of  the  Scholar» 


Sincerely  yours.

Dear  Urs.  Baumcardt: 


Ber.lin,   at  the  present  time,  is  like  a  deserted  villare,  and 
I   could  not  for  thc  life  of  me,  thini:  of  anybody  to  v.'hom  j^ou  could 
send  your  parcel.     Tou  see,  I  vras  the  last  of  the  I^^ohicejis  -  the 
Legal.  Division  left  Berlin  -  THE  '.'.'HOLE  DIVISIOII  -  about  two  oonths 

« 

before  I  did,   and  all  of  my  other  friends  are  over  in  Frankfurt. 
Also,   I   do  not  knov  the  boys  in  the  mailroom  as  that  entire  rroup 
has  been  ir;oved  to  Bonn.     I   cannot  tlanlv  of  r    sinfie  person  left 
in  Berlin  to  v-horn  I  could  vrrite.     The  buildia^,  in  v'hiich  I     orked, 
the  rirector's     uildin-,  Y:as  entirely  ev^-^cuated,   and  the  militrry 
have  taken  over.     I  a..in  av.^fully  sorry. 

^'eidelberf  is  a  beautiful  city,  but  dreadfully  overcrorded. 
In  Berlin  I  had  an  apartment  of  seven  rooms  a.nd  a  ba,th  -  all  to 
myself  -  and  here  I  have  one  small  room,  but  consider  myself 
fortunate  to  have  th-^t.     Most  of  the  rirls  are  t:vo  or  three  to  a 


room 


.  I  am  sure  you  vlll  love  the  city.  As  you  say,  it  is  intact. 


and  i3  sunposed  to  be  one  of  the  most  beautiful  spots  in  thc  v;orld 
in  the  Tpring. 

Your  nephev;  and  voui^  niece  are  both  v/onderful  children,  cnd 
you  vdll  be  proud  of  them  v-hen  you  see  them.  They  are  friendly 


p 

c^ 


nd  fracious,  and  it  •  as  a  plefsure  to  !mow  them. 


nth  even'-     ood  vdsh. 


Most  sincerel:/.

k:lndly  rsturn   this  let+er,  th«:nlc  you!

reccrnitior   in  r  narkr-vily  dificrent  brarjch  of 
thought,    I   wish   to    thirü:   that  you   otill    '.oler-ite 
inetaohyFicr,   rel  irlon  and   the  like     s  philosophi- 
cal  poetry  —  iorjothing   that  lieichenbach  and,    if 
I   renenbbr  ri^htly  yov   too   corcedod  in  a  talk  \;o 
had  in  Paris    twenty   two  years  a^o. 

Kortified  by    this   wishful   thinkiiig  I  should 
like   to  :isx  you  vhether  you  coald  give  favorable 
consideration   to    the  upplicjtion  of  ono  of  my  raost 
gifted  students  at  Columbia  Ur.iversity, 

In  tvo  courses  on   ethics  which   1  gt.ye  at  Colum- 
Ma  in  1?55-  1956,    ?^r.  John  McDerraott  rebelled  against 
Benthaa  and  se  but  did  It  in  a  very  intelligent 
way.    I   trustthat  under  your  puidnnce  he  could  fruit- 
fully  cature. 

I  should I    therefore,   be  vary  gr^teful   to  you

REPORT  of  OENEVIEVE  FQRBES  HERRICK 
(Member  National  Civilian  Advisory  Committee  for  the  Women's  Army  Corps) 

ON 
Trip  to  the  European  Theatre  to  Observe  the  Work  of  the  Woraen^s  Army  Corps 


^ 


As  a  member  of  the  National  Civilian  Advisory  Committee  for  the  Women's 
Army  Corps  (compoaed  of  23  women  representing  various  sections  of  the  United 
States  and  varied  fields  of  activity),  I  went  recently  to  Europe,  for  the 
Committee,  but  under  the  helpful  Sponsor ship  of  the  War  Department,  to  observe 
the  work  -  it  is  valid  and  valuable  work  -  which  the  2200  member s  of  the 
Women 's  Army  Corps  in  the  European  Theatre  are  performing,  and  of  which  the 
American  public  is  not  sufficiently  aware. 

This  is  my  report  of  that  revealing  and  rewarding  experience*  It  is 
informal,  but  informed.  It  is  not  written  in  military  terminology»  Indeed^ 
I  have  to  think  fast  to  remember  that  TYD  means  "teraporary  duty^,  and  that 
a  •♦213**  is  an  Army  stenographer •  I  am  likely  to  address  any  officer  as 
'^ColoneP  -  not  a  bad  mistake  unless  talking  to  a  Brigadier  General.  Ky 
phraseology,  like  my  psychology,  is,  proper ly,  civilian  rather  than  military* 

My  trip  coincided  largely,  and  purposely,  with  the  Visit  of  inspection 
which  Colonel  Westray  Battle  Boyce,  Director  WAC,  made  to  the  same  area,  and 
I  owe  her  a  tremendous  personal  as  well  as  professional  debt  of  gratitude  for 
all  she  did  for  me.  I  am  also  deeply  appreciative  of  the  courteous  Coopera- 
tion of  the  War  Department:  in  particular  -  Lt.  Gen«  J.  lawton  Collins  and 
Maj.  Gen.  W.  S.  Paul,  in  Washington;  and  General  Mark  W.  Clark,  Maj.  Gen. 
Miller  G.  White,  Maj.  Gen.  J.  M.  Bevans,  and  Col.  George  S,  Eyster,  in  the 
Theatre.  A  warm  "thank  you**  to  Sgt.  Marion  Buchanan,  my  incomparable  and 
uncomplaining  **213'*;  and  a  salute  to  all  the  WACs  for  their  friendship  and 
frankne  88. 

I  flew  over  alone  and  Joined  Col.  Boyce,  who  had  preceded  me  by  several 
weeks,  in  Frankfurt-am-Main,  the  headquarters  of  USFET  (United  States  Forces 
European  Theatre)  where  the  largest  number,  700,  of  the  2200  WACs  in  the 
Theatre  were  stationed.  I  made  my  own  headquarters  at  the  hospitable  home 
of  Lt.  Col.  Kathleen  McClure  of  Iowa  Falls,  Iowa,  WAC  Staff  Director  for  the 
Theatre,  and  her  able  Deputy,  Major  Ruby  Hennan  of  Newburgh,  New  York,  with- 
out  whose  able  assistance  I  could  not  have  obtained  the  facts  on  which  to 
base  this  report. 

With  Frankfurt  as  my  base,  I  went  by  motor  (from  American  jeep  to 
Oerman  •^liberated'*  Mercedes-Benz,  saia  to  have  been  Hitler 's  Number  2  car), 
by  plane  and  by  military  train  to  most  of  the  18  military  installations 
having  WAC  Detachments.  I  met  more  than  a  thousand  WACs;  got  to  know

personally  some  200  of  them,  officers  and  enlisted  womenj  wrlte  to  many 
of  themj  have  written  to  their  families  in  this  country. 

I  lived  with  the  WACs.  I  stood  reveille  with  them  in  the  damp  dawn 
and  sat  up  late  at  night  to  talk  with  them.  I  visited  them  at  their  work: 
-  in  Offices  where  they  gave  ordere  to  German  civilian  employees,  and  in 
Offices  where  they  took  orders  from  American  Generals;  in  hospitals  and 
schoolsj  at  the  War  Crimes  Trials  in  grim  Nürnberg  and  at  the  Recreation 
Area  in  now  gay  Berchtesgadenj  at  Displaced  Persons  camps,  and  at  Qerman 
Youth  Activities  meetings. 

I  shared  their  recreation  with  them.  I  went  with  them  to  the  PX, 
to  buy  the  weekly  carton  of  cigarettes,  the  one  bar  of  soap,  if  and  when 
availablej  the  two  boxes  of  aspirin.  I  went  with  them  to  the  WAG  beauty 
parlor  and  borrowed  from  them  the  Shampoo  which  each  dient  must  provide 
if  she  wants  to  have  her  hair  washed« 

I  talked  with  their  Comrranding  Generals  and  heard  them  say,  repeatedly, 
••We  want  more  WACs'** 

I  returned  home  convinced  that,  from  the  showing  these  2200  WACs  are 
makingi  as  good  soldiers  and  as  able  ambassadors  of  American  Democracy^ 
performing  their  tasks  with  fine  spirit  and  few  squawks,  the  Army  is  just- 
ified  in  asking  for  legislation  (The  WAG  Integration  Act  of  19^47)  for  a 
small  (two  per  cent  of  the  total  organized  strength)^  permanent  group  in 
the  Regulär  Army^  and  for  admission  to  the  Organized  Reserve«

THE  COKMANDING  OFFICERS  SAY: 


I  spent  considerable  time  in  Frankfurt^  Munich,  Vienna^  Berlin,  Paris, 
Bamberg,  Salzburg,  Nürnberg  and  Berchtesgaden«  I  found  the  WACs  everywhere 
doing  varied  and  valuable  work.  I  found  their  Coninanding  Officers  every- 
where aware  and  appreciative  of  this  work.  The  sincerity  of  their  pralse 
was  implemented  by  their  repeated  requests  to  Washington  for  more  WACs. 


General  Mark  W,  Clark^  then  Commander  of  U.S*  Forces  in  Austria, 
is  proud  that,  during  the  war,  he  had  the  first  WACs  in  Europe.  He 
recalls  that  when  other  officers  questicned  the  advisability  of  taking 
them  so  far  up  front,  he  asked,  *^Do  they  want  to  go?*^  When  he  learned 
how  much  they  wanted  to  go,  they  went» 

This  f its  in  with  what  I  heard  General  Diright  D*  Eisenhower,  Chief 
of  Staff,  teil  the  Women's  National  Iress  Club  in  Washington  recently. 
In  explaining  the  merits  of  the  proposed  legis  lation  to  make  the  WAC  a 
permanent  part  of  the  Regulär  Army,  Gen«  Eisenhower  said:  -  **No  woman 
in  the  war  ever  asked  me  a  favor,  except  to  get  closer  to  the  front*** 

Gen.  Clark  told  me,  with  quiet  force,  **The  WAC  is  a  great  Institu- 
tion; it  certainly  ought  to  be  perpetuated**  • 

ya.1>  Gen^  John  T#  Lewis >  Comnianding  Qen«,  Western  Base  Section, 
USFET,  in  Paris,  characterized  the  WACs  as  "great** j  hoped  more  would 
be  sent  to  Europe«  A  participant  in  the  early  planning  for  the  original 
WAAC,  he  was  glad  when  it  dropped  the  '*A  for  Auxiliary**  and  became  a 
part  of  the  wartime  Ariny«  He  looks  f orward  to  its  becoming  a  permanent 
part  of  the  Regulär  Army« 

Ma.1>  Gen«  Harry  J«  Collins^  Commanding  General,  Headquarters  Zone 
Command,  Austria,  in  Salzburg,  declared:  *'The  WACs  are  doing  a  swell 
Job  and  you  can  quote  ne  on  that**# 

Mai>  Gen«  Frank  A«  Keating>  Deputy  Comiranding  General,  Office 
Military  Govt«  U.S.,  Berlin,  paid  tribute  to  the  WACs  by  saying  his 
Office  **could  use  all  Washington  will  send**«  He  believes  they  ought 
to  be  well  paid,  for  they  work  well« 

Hai.  Gen«  James  M«  BevanSj.  General  Staff,  ÜSFET,  Frankfurt,  praised 
the  WACs  for  their  Performance  in  discharge  of  their  **military  mission**, 
and  for  their  helpful  assistance  in  the  important  German  Youth  Activities 
pro gram« 

Brig.  Gen.  Walter  J«  Müller^  Director,  Office  Military  Government 
for  Bavaria,  stationed  at  Munich,  admitted,  **I  was  dublous  when  they  first 
assigned  WACs  to  usj  but  after  a  few  weeks  they  had  won  that  war**«  He  has 
requested  more  WACs« 

Brig«  Gen«  Telford  Taylor.  War  Trials  Prosecutor  at  Nürnberg,  was 
enthusiastic  in  commending  the  specialized  work  the  8  WAC  officers  and 
11  enlisted  women  are  doing  in  this  world-faroous  spot«  **Ies,  we  want  more 
WACs**«  Then,  with  a  smile,  ref erring  to  the  omnipresent  transportation 
Problem  in  the  Theatre,  he  added,  ** After  automobiles,  we  want  more  WACs**« 

Brig«  Gen«  C,  K«  Gailev.  Jr.^  Chief  of  Staff  of  Military  Government 
for  Germany  in  Berlin,  asserted  that  the  WAC  is  more  efficient  than  the 
average  soldier  in  a  clerical  Job,  of  which  there  are  now  so  many«  He  also 
emphasized  the  point  that  today*s  overseas  soldier  is  likely  to  be  yonng  and 
inexperienced,  whereas  the  WAC  is  usually  older  and  more  seasoned«

WAC  yiRSÜS  SI 

Today,  maigr  of  tha  Jobs  in  our  peacetime  Ärmj   In  the  Airopean 
Thaatre  are  Bora  elerleal  than  combat;  nore  administrative  than 
aggressive«  Jobs  that  eure  performed  to  the  dick  of  a  typewriter 
rat  her  than  to  the  crack  of  a  rifle  are,  frequently,  Jobs  for  which 
vornan,  by  training,  are  better  qualified  than  man.  Tasks  which  re- 
quire  a  ninimua  of  physical  force  but  a  maximum  of  diligence  cmd 
patience,  are,  of ten,  tasks  for  vhieh  vomen,  by  tradltion,  are  better 
suited  than  aen. 

It  %ra8,  therefore,  irlth  no  disparagement  of  the  öl  that  Comianding 
Officars  Said  to  me,  so  frequently  that  it  sometimes  sounded  like  a 
forsBila:  -  "In  thase  Jobs  (usually  ref erring  to  elerleal  and  adninistra- 
tive  ones)  one  WAC  Is  worth  tvo  soldiers",  Sometimes  thay  raised  the 
ratio  to  "one  to  three";  and  In  some  cases,  even  ■one  to  four".  Tha 
equatlon  was  never  one  of  criticism;  it  was  alvays  one  of  raalism,  If 
it  se«ied  llke  »WAC  versus  &!■;  the  "versus"  dld  NOT  mean  "against";  but, 
■  conpared  with";  and  was  qualified  by  specific  Jobs,  and  special  circnm- 
stances« 

Col.  C.  Coburn  Smith,  Jr.,  in  Vlanna,  put  it  thls  way:  -  "The  VACs 
are  tvlce  as  valuable  to  us  since  the  end  of  tha  war,  becaase  so  many 
men  have  gone  home  and  the  VAC  skills,  especlally  tha  elerleal  and 
administrative  ones,  are  doubly  in  demand",  which  is  another  way  of  saying 
Gen.  ColllnU  fervent  "Hy,  how  we  need  "213* s". 

Vhile  the  VACs  are  grateful  for  this  substantlal  testimony  to  thelr 
value  to  tha  Army  in  the  Äiropean  Thaatre,  th^  do  not  want  thls  value 
to  llmit  any  logical  and  legltiaate  enlargement  of  thelr  duties  and 
assignments  In  tha  Thaatre.  As  members  of  the  Army  they  understand  that 
it  has  frequently  been  necessary  to  narrow  thelr  assignments  to  elerleal 
and  administrative  duties  for  two  reasons: 

1.  Tha  critleal  need  of  the  Interim  Army  for  personnel  qualified 
in  Army  administration» 

2.  Tha  avallabillty  of  technieally  qualified  "indlgenous"  peraonnel, 
whose  use  is  advocated  by  the  Army» 

But  thay  remamber  with  pride  that  during  hostllities  they  vere 
assigned  to  approximately  250  different  types  of  Army  Jobs.  They  hope 
that  presently  thalr  sphere  of  activity  may  be  raasonably  enlarged  so 
they  mj  resume  some  old-tlme  re8TX)nsibilities  in  those  other  fields  in 
which  thay  have  already  desionstrated  thelr  aptltude  and  abllity.  They 
also  hope,  and  Colonel  Boyce  deslres,  thet  as  soon  as  practicable, 
through  specialisad  training  and  on  tha  Job  training,  a  careful  explora- 
tlon  will  be  made  of  additional  Jobs  on  which  VACs  may  be  used  in  the 
Army  of  Occupation.  Thls,  as  Colonel  Boyce  polnts  out,  will  be,  not 
only  gratifying  to  tha  VACs,  but  helpftil  to  the  Anay  which  wants  to  know, 
in  peacetime  every  asslgnment  on  which  women  may  be  utilized  in  the  event 
of  an  emergency.

off  she  goes  to  get  married'^,  the  American  officer  in  the  ET  might 
laioent  -  ^Just  about  the  time  I  get  a  green  GL   trained  for  the  Job, 
off  he  goes  back  to  the  States  for  his  dischargej  now,  with  a  WAC, 
it's  Hifferent". 

It  ia  true  that  the  WACs  are  rotated.  Actually,  tneir  tour  of 
duty  overseas  is  less  than  the  men's.  The  enlisted  woman  nnist  return 
to  the  States  after  2/^  months  overseas  irtiereas  the  enlisted  man  remains 
30  months.  But,  balancing  this  figure  is  the  fact  •  and  the  male 
officers  assure  me  this  is  a  fact  -  that  when  the  WAC  goes  home,  she 
usually  goes  reluctantly;  and  that  when  her  replacement  comes,  she  ia 
a  trained  soldier  and  she  is  eager  to  come.  Since  the  Corps  has  accepted 
no  new  enlistments  since  shortly  after  VJ  Day,  August  29,  1945,  (altbough 
re-enlistments  have  been  permitted)  every  WAC  now  in  unifonn  has  been  in 
the  Arncr  at  least  19  months.  Therefore,  so  the  male  officers  argue,  the 
continuity  of  the  Service  in  an  Office  is  less  likely  to  be  broken  by 
WAC  rotation  than  by  Gl  replacement* 

HER  MIUTARY  KISSIQN 

The  prime  reason  for  a  woman  being  in  the  WAC,  and  for  a  WAC  being 
in  the  European  Theatre  is  to  accomplish  a  military  mission,  «hatever 
specific  assignment  that  may  be.  That  is  her  Chief  duty.  She  knows  it. 
That  she  is  accoraplishing  this  military  mission  creditably  has  been 
amply  indicated  by  the  testimony  of  the  Commanding  Officers  whom  I  have 
quoted.  It  can  be  further  supported  by  many  other  similar  quotations 
which  cannot  be  here  recorded  because  of  space  llmitations. 

A  sometines  secondary  (in  point  of  time)  but  always  significant 
part  of  that  military  mission  is  the  assistance  she  can  render  the  Army 
of  Occupation  in  its  program  of  denocraticizing  Germany;  and  her  special 
value  in  the  work  with  Oerman  women  and  children. 

The  WACs  are  teaching  the  women  of  Germany,  not  only  English,  but 
Democracy,  as  practiced  and  possessed  by  the  American  woman.  They  are 
doing  this  with  both  good  sense  and  good  taste;  soroetimes  in  formal 
projects}  often  in  informal,  Incidental  ways. 

The  most  important  official  project  is,  of  course,  the  Oerman  T^uth 
Activities  program  of  the  American  knny. 

Early  in  the  Occupation  of  Germary,  General  Joseph  T.  McNarney, 
speaking  to  officers  in  this  work,  estimated  its  value  in  these  words:  — 

•I  want  to  impress  on  you  that  this  is  an  extreme ly  important  job 
••..perhaps  more  important  than  any  other  one  Job  that  we  today  can  do. 
Other  things  we  must  do  are  negative.. .Tou  gentlemen  are  engaged  in 
planning  for  a  positive  measure  to  earrj  out  what  we  are  over  here  to  do'^. 

It  presently  becams  apparent,  however,  that  the  Angr  Assistance 
program,  as  then  arranged,  was  better  adapted  to  the  needa  and  interests 
of  boys  than  of  girls;  and  that,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  there  was  great 
need  for  work  with  German  girls,  the  men  workers  were  handicappe'd  in  its

OoTernnent,  Berlin,  met  Colonel  Boyce  In  Berlin  early  In  November  1946, 
and  nade  tlile  reeoimendatlon:  -» 

"A  WiC.  vho  has  Interest  and  tralnlng  can  derelop  a  hDbby  or

man  ~  many  VACs  bave  the  Interest  and  the  background  to  make  the  progra» 
affective  In  ways  not  posslble  for  male  Arny  personnel". 

Many  glrls  dld  have  the  "Interest  and  the  background"  to  nake  the 
progra«  affective.  Hany,  voluntarlly  and  unofflclally,  were  already 
glvlng  off-dnty  hours  to  frlendshlp  and  leadershlp  In  these  actlvltles*

The  follovlng  veek  the  Frankfurt  WACs  Issued  a  pamphlet  calllng  for 
volunteer  vorkers«  Its  openlng  paragraph  read:  - 

■Xver  vant  to  be  a  ploneer  In  some  brand  nev  Important  fleld? 
That  ve  possess  a  ploneerlng  splrlt  Is  apparent  by  the  very  fact  that  ve 
Jolned  the  flrst  Women's  Army  Corps  to  be  organlsed  In  the  United  States«

value  of  vomen»  not  only  In  var.  but  In  vlnnlng  and  malntalnlng  the  peaoe"« 

It  called  attention  to  the  fact  that:  -  "Military  Government  placee

of  a  peaceful  and  democratic  country.  The  Assistance  program  of  the 
Army  Is  intended  to  strengthen  these  organlzations**  •  It  underscored 
the  sentences  -  ••Results  obtained  will  be  in  proportion  to  that  degree 
in  nhich  leadership  and  Vision  are  exhibited**. 

Included  in  the  list  of  activities  in  which  WACs  were  urged  to  help 
were:  —  meetings  with  girls  from  12  to  20,  to  make  toys  for  orphaned 
German  childrenj  discussion  groups  with  high  school  and  university  students; 
classes  in  singing  and  folk-dancing  for  teen-agersj  Saturday  afternoon  club 
for  small  childrenj  German  mother's  club. 

Among  the  less  formal  activities  were  the  Thanksgiving  dinner  and  the 
Little  Christinas  celebration,  both  at  Frankfurt,  in  which  I  had  the  privi- 
lege  of  participating. 

The  Thanksgiving  dinner  was  held  at  the  WAC  enlisted  women's  mess  hall. 
The  guests  came  from  a  nearby  orphanage  but,  due  to  shortage  of  coal  and 
bedding  at  the  Institution,  they  had  been  parceled  out,  one,  two  or  three, 
to  neighbors  who  had  fuel  and  some  extra  blankets«  As  a  heartbreaking, 
but  necessary  precaution  against  their  catching  cold,  children  having  no 
shoes  were  not  permitted  to  attend» 

The  children,  each  clinging  to  the  band  of  a  WAC  hostess,  came 
freshly  scrubbed  and  pressed,  and  shabby.  Awed  at  first,  they  were  very 
quiet#  As  they  ate,  and  how  they  did  eat,  they  relaxed  and  by  pumpkin 
pie  and  ice-cream  time,  a  few  even  laughed  out  loud.  When  the  Aray  photo- 
grapher's  flash  light  bulb  went  off,  some  of  the  children  jumped  as  if  a 
bomb  had  exploded.  In  the  middle  of  bis  meal,  one  little  boy  left  bis 
table,  reluctantly,  but  with  determination,  walked  over  to  where  his  small 
sister  was  seated«  Satisfied  that  she,  too,  was  having  a  feast,  he  trudged 
back  to  his  place  and  asked  for  a  second  cup  of  coffee  -  and  got  it. 
Thanksgiving  comes  but  once  a  year# 

There  were  songs  and  Souvenirs.  Many  of  the  children  had  saved  food 
from  their  own  plates,  and  were  permitted  to  take  what  was  left  in  the 
serving  dishes.  The  WACs  furnished  them  clean  paper  napkins  and  they  wrapped 
up  their  offerings  to  take  home  to  less  fortunate  friends  who,  shoeless, 
had  had  to  stay  at  hoxne* 

The  VfACs  took  them  on  to  the  roovies  and  topped  off  the  afternoon  with 
a  Visit  to  their  snack  bar,  '•Bend  the  Elbow"  for  chocolate  sodas.  Then 
they  loaded  the  children  into  krwy  trucks  and  drove  them  home.  Windows 
were  raisedj  doors  were  opened  in  the  desolate  street  as  curious  stay-at- 
homes  peered  out.  The  returning  youngsters  were  eager  to  get  inside  to  teil 
their  storyj  but  each  stopped  to  shake  hands  and  say  '•thank  you**  before 
rushing  indoors  with  a  bündle  of  food  and  memories. 

As  they  left  the  street  scene,  the  WACs  started  to  plan  a  series  of 
parties  to  take  care  of  other  children.  As  for  those  without  shoes,  Sgt. 
Dorothy  Montgomery  headed  a  group  which  took  money  contributions  from  the 
WACs  with  which  to  try  to  negotiate  the  purchase  of  3OO  pairs  of  shoes  from 
Czechoslovakia.  The  money  came  in  rapidly.  The  WACs  remember  the  story

HER  NON-MILITARY  MISSION 

▲  corollarj  to  the  VACs'  milltary  mlsslon  of  helping  to  Interpret 
-American  Democracy  to  Occupled  Germaxxy  Is  her  non-mllltery  mlsslon  of 
helping  to  Interpret  the  Situation  in  Occupled  ßermany  to  democratlc 
-America.  She  shares  wlth  the  Öl  the  opportunity  of  helng  a  small  htxt 
Tery  personal  spokesman  about  the  horrore  of  war  as  she  dally  sees  its 
results« 

The  WACs  at  Munleh  see  the  ruins  of  the  beer  hall  in  whlch  the  war 
had  its  ghoullsh  genesls.  They  travel  Just  ten  mlles  and  are  at  Dachau, 
the  small  grey  spot  on  the  landscape  that  left  a  large  red  spot  on  the 
^  pages  of  hlstory« 

The  WACs  at  ^^»urnberg  are  eye-wltnesses  to  the  trials  of  &emany»s 
Number  One  war  criminals.  Britlsh-bom  Capt,  Grace  Auer  of  Detroit,  a 
British  WAC  in  World  War  I;  and  Lt.  Mildred  Kewberry  of  Llvermore  Falle, 
Me.,  are  a  special  guard  for  Dr.  Herta  Oberhauser,  the  one  woman  defendant 
among  the  23  doctors  on  trial  for  medlcal  raass  murder» 

The  WACs  at  Berchtesgaden  go  to  the  Platerhof  and  walk  through  the 
two  rooms  in  the  old  part  of  the  hotel,  seid  to  hnve  been  decorated  by 
Hitler  himself  in  1920,  and  the  scene  of  one  of  the  earliest  meetings  of 
the  "party".  Tney  stand  in  the  Wine  Hall,  where  the  ßerman  General  Staff 
held  its  last  frantlc  meetlng  in  April,  1945.  They  drive  out  to  the 
rulns  of  the  Berghof,  Hitler 's  home  and  tread  thelr  way  over  the  broken 
glass  and  twlsted  wlre  on  the  terrace  where  he  and  Chamberlain  had  thelr 
hlstorlc  tea. 

The  WACs  in  Berlin  pick  thelr  way  through  the  nibble  of  the  once 
majestlc  Reichs-^Chancellery.  The  WACs  at  Frankfurt,  whlch  has  been  slxty- 
five  per  cent  destroyed,  on  thelr  way  to  work  at  Army  headquarters  in  the 
I.  0.  Farben  bullding,  look  up  at  the  ghosts  of  buildings. 

Thelr  reactlon  is  not  militant  for  war;  It  is  urgent  for  peace* 
They  also  know  some  of  the  problems  of  peace.  They  fcnow  there  is  no 
easy  road  to  a  quick  Solution;  for  they  are  Walking  that  road.  Sometimes 
they  wlsh  they  could  walk  faster. 

For  example,  thls  remark  of  Capt.  Virginia  Steinruck,  Unlverslty  of 
Cincinnatl  graduate,  now  wlth  the  Office  of  Military  Government,  Bavarla^ 
stationed  in  Munleh;-  "Sometimes  I  feel  frustrated  by  the  small  contrlbu- 
tion  one  person  can  make.  But  I'm  a  loyal  American  Citizen  holding  down 
an  Important  Job  that  has  to  be  done  well.   I  glve  It  all  I're  got.  That 
ought  to  help  a  llttle". 

Her  Job  Is  important.   It  Includes  the  edlting  of  a  weekly  report  — 
docximentary  and  detalled,  and  restrlcted,  of  the  Operations  of  OMOB. 

Surlng  hostllltles,  the  women  of  the  Corps  wanted  to  share  the  danger 
or  war  so  far  as  posslble  wlth  the  male  soldler.  Today,  in  the  Occupatlon,

they  share  with  him,  completely,  the  responsible  opportun! ty  of  being 
an  informed  link  betireen  war-torn  Europe  and  the  United  Statea*  Because 
they  are  women,  their  words  have  a  special  weight  with  America 's  ^3 
million  women* 

This  link  is  partly  forged  with  ink.  Every  American-bound  mail 
pouch  that  crosses  the  Atlantic  carries  the  message  -  the  story  of  the 
ravages  of  war,  the  responsibilities  of  victory,  the  problems  of  peace. 
One  letter  doesn't  make  a  trend,  but  letter  added  to  letter,  sent  from 
all  parts  of  Germaiiy,  to  all  parte  of  America,  adda  up  to  a  aizeable  mass 
of  evidence» 

Letters  are  important,  but  they  are  not  the  only  way  to  weld  this 
link.  The  WAG,  back  home  from  a  tour  of  duty  in  the  ET,  is  an  asset  to 
any  Community.  She  would  make  a  good  Speaker  for  a  women's  club,  a 
church  group,  a  civic  meeting*  She  may  not  be  an  orator,  although  many 
of  thera  have  had  considerable  experience  in  public  speakingj  but  she 
speaks  with  authority* 

WACS  HEIP  THEMSELVES 

WACs  are  helping  the  Army  in  its  European  task.  They  are  also  help- 
ing  themselves,  by  taking  advantage  of  travel,  education,  history*  In 
thus  helping  themselves  to  a  wider  and  deeper  understanding  of  the  world, 
they  are  helping  the  United  States. 

In  this  after-war  world,  when  we  are  trying  to  build  peace  on 
international  understanding,  one  of  the  hopeful  elements  is  the  fact 
that  so  many  of  our  fighting  men  went  overseas,  where  they  had  a  Chance 
to  learn,  not  only  how  lucky  we  are  to  live  an  American  life,  but  soiqb- 
thing  of  what  it  means  to  live  as  the  other  f  ellow  lives,  and  think  as 
the  other  f ellow  thinks. 

The  WAG  who  is  stationed  abroad  learns  the  same  lesson,  with  a 
feminine  slant.  When  she  writes  home,  eventually  comes  home,  she  is 
bound  to  convey  to  American  women  some thing  of  i*at  it  means  to  be  a 
woman  Citizen  of  some  of  the  countries  with  whom  we  must  co-operate  if 
the  united  effort  for  world  peace  is  to  succeed. 

The  WAGs  in  airope  are  in  a  land  of  history-tomorrow  •  s  history  in 
the  making;  and  yesterday's,  forever  made.  They  are  making  the  mDSt  of 
their  opportunities  to  study  and  leam# 

In  Salzburg,  city  of  Mozart,  many  leave  a  busy  day  at  the  Office  to 
go  to  the  renowned  Mozarteum  to  study  music.  Others  wrap  themselves  in 
Army  blankets  and  go  to  the  chilOy  Opera  House  to  listen  to  music. 

Lt.  RiJ^a  Davis,  Altoona,  Penna.,  Assistant  to  the  Adjutant  General, 
was  a  child  prodigy  Violinist  until  a  serious  accident  to  one  of  her  hands 
crippled  the  nerves  and,  she  thought,  cut  off  her  career.  When  war  came 
she  Joined  the  Corps  and  was  later  sent  to  Salzburg.  The  surroundings 
revived  her  love  of  music  and  today  she  is  stucfying  voice  at  the  Mozarteum • 
A  new  career  is  in  the  making«

Sgt»  Hedwig  Scha^y  Kilwaukee,  Wis.,  Austrian  born  Singer  who 
studied  in  Austria  and  the  United  States,  is  continuing  her  vocal  lessons 
at  the  Mozarteum.  After  hours  she  is  also  teaching  Gerroan  to  WACa,  and 
does  soine  interpreting*  She  joined  the  Corps  shortly  after  her  brother 
was  killed  in  action» 

Lt.  Eleanor  Gifford,  Philadelphia,  Commanding  Officer  of  the  WAC 
Detachment  at  Berchtesgaden,  is  a  contralto  of  such  promise  that  plans 
were  under  way,  when  I  was  there,  for  her  debut  with  the  Wiener 
Symphonicer  in  Vienna« 

Many  are  studylng  art  or  architecture*  Capt.  Mo Hie  Regan,  Boston, 
has  a  responsible  asslgnment  in  the  Monuments  and  Arts  Division,  helping 
to  identify  and  have  returned  to  their  proper  places,  some  50,000  art 
treasures  that  were  stolen  or  hidden  during  the  war«  She  is  well  equipped 
for  this  task.  for  after  her  graduation  from  Radcliffe,  she  spent  consider- 
able  tiine  as  an  art  Student  in  Europe.  The  entire  Detachment  profits  by 
her  •'Shop  talk'^. 

Virtually  every  member  of  the  Corps  in  the  ET  is  studylng  a  foreign 
language,  in  formal  classes,  or  throügh  the  courtesy  of  a  fellow  WAC* 
In  many  of  the  billets  I  visited,  a  French  or  German  dictionary,  often  a 
Russian,  edged  against  the  pamphlet  *WAC  Life''.  The  remark,  ••I'm  cer- 
tainly  sorry  I  didn't  really  learn  a  foreign  language  in  school"  was  a 
commonplace« 

Two  WAC  linguists,  known  throughout  the  Theatre  for  their  knowledge 
of  Russian,  are  Capt.  Rose  Ennis  and  Capt.  Idla  Bard.  Both  are  stationed 
in  Berlin/  where  their  skill  in  translating  and  interpreting  is  useful  to 
the  Allied  Control  Council*  After  work  they  give  Russian  lessons to 
ambitlous  WACs. 

Capt.  Bard,  born  in  the  oll  center  of  Baku,  on  the  Caspain  Sea, 
traveled  extensively  in  her  youth  with  her  father,  Director  of  a  large 
oll  Company*  lipon  his  death  she  came  to  the  United  States  and  was  a 
Script  writer  in  Hollywood*  Russian-born  Capt*  Ennis  married  an 
American  engineer  in  Russia  after  World  War  I  and  came  to  Seattle  to 
live. 

In  Paris,  French-born  Lt.  Susan  Tirlet  speaks  English  with  a  slight 
accent,  but  French  with  a  fine  Parisian  one.  She  is  teaching  French  to 
many  fellow  officers  billeted  at  the  saire  hotel  with  her. 

Travel  plays  an  iraportant  part  in  this  self-education*  The  WACs  visit 
the  Vienna  Woods  and  the  celebrated  Castles  in  the  vicinity.  At  Salzburg 
they  even  work  in  an  historical  setting.  The  Army  is  headquartered  in  the 
Archbishop's  Place  which  was  a  Century  a-building  (I64O-I74O).  Rriceless 
tapestries  hang  on  the  wall;  precious  cut-glass  chandeliers  suspend  from 
the  high  ceilingsj  antique  porcelaine  stoves  stand  diagonally  across  the 
Corners  of  the  rooms*  It  is  a  somswhat  startling  meeting  of  old-world 
craftsmanship  and  new  world  efflclency*  A  marble  table,  with  carved  gold-

At  Bamberg^  headquarters  of  the  U«S«  Constabulary,  the  WACs  live 

When  I  was  there,  there  were  a  lot  of  shortages:  -  shortages  of 
pillows  and  of  electric  light  bulbs«  But  tnere  was  also  a  shortage  of  coal 
so  there  wasn't  nach  electricity«  More  serious,  with  women,  there  was  a 
shortage  of  mirrors«  The  sign  above  the  faucet,  so  familiär  is  most  military 
installations  «-  ^This  water  is  potable**  was  missing«  The  women  got  their 
drinking  water  from  Idster  bags  in  the  corridors«  The  mess  Sergeant  had  to 
Cook  on  field  stoves«  There  were  poor  lavatory  facilities  and  the  girls  washed 
out  their  stockings  in  the  linings  of  helmets,  just  the  way  they  had  to  in 
bettle  days  in  Africa« 

Capt«  Patricia  Elwell,  the  Coionanding  Officer,  is  a  plucky  New  Englander 
from  Haine«  She  insists  -  '^If  it*s  good  enough  for  the  QIs;  it's  all  right 
for  the  WACs«  We*re  not  sissies;  besides,  when  we  have  to  do  with  what  we've 
got|  it  makes  us  ingenious^« 

Qen«  Bevans  had  a  different  opinion«  When  the  Situation  was  brought 
to  his  attention,  he  said,  ^It's  allTiery  well  to  be  ingenious  when  you  have 
to  be;  but  when  you  don*t  have  to  be,  sometimes  it  takes  a  lot  more  time 
and  effort  than  it  is  worth«"  He  plcked  up  the  telephone  and  within  a  few 
hours,  relief  and  remedy  were  on  their  way« 

Gen«  Bevans  does  not  pamper  the  SXOa.     But  he  is  realistic  and  reasonable.

••green  thrumbf«  Austrian  dolls  in  costume  are  much  in  evidence  in  the 
girls*  rooms.  Other  enlisted  women  live  on  the  first  and  second  floor 
of  the  Belleview  Hotel.  The  third  floor  took  a  bad  bombing  and  nothing 
much  is  left  of  it  but  open  air  and  scaffolding. 

Salzburg  WACs  are  billeted  at  the  Steinlechner  Hotel^  where  Toscanini 
often  stayed«  Strauss  conqposed  many  of  his  waltzes  while  boating  on  the

by  an  Austrian  orchestra* 

In  Paris,  the  WACs  live  in  pleasant  hoteis  which  have  been  taken  over 
by  the  Army« 

WAC  CLüBS 

Every  WAC  has  to  have  her  club-focus  of  hospitality,  antidote  for 
homesickness«  Some  are  simple;  some  are  more  loxurious«  Each  is  individual; 
all  are  populär« 

Frankfurt  has  its  •Underground*'  for  enlisted  women,  and  65O  of  the  700 
in  the  area  are  menibers«  President  of  the  Council  of  twenty  is  Sgt.  Edith 
Till  of  Wausau,  Wie«,  fondly  nicknamed  •Stubborn*^  because  she  is  so  persistent 
about  getting  things  for  the  club«  The  Initiation  fee  is  $3  «00  and  so  far 
there  has  been  no  necessity  for  assessing  dues«  The  walls  of  the  clabhouse 
have  been  whimsically  decorated  by  Corp*  Darlene  Jones  of  Chicago,  who  never 
had  an  art  lesson  in  her  life« 

It  is  open  every  night  from  7  to  10:30  (bed  check  is  at  11  p«m«)j  and 
on  Saturdays  until  midnight«  Average  week-night  attendance  is  150;  on 
Saturdays  and  ••party*  nights,  it  runs  up  to  300«  Members  bring  their  men 
friends  here,  dance  (there  is  an  orchestra  every  night);  patronize  the 
inexpensive  snack  bar;  and  sing  songs« 

I  was  fortunate  to  be  there  on  a  "party"  night,  and  was  invited  to 
their  Thanksgiving  Bve  turkey  dinner«  The  place  was  Jamroed«  It  was  noisy 
and  orderly,  and  very  happy.  The  Chaplain  had  a  good  tim^,  and  so  did  the 
jitterbugs«  Maj«  Gen  Clarence  R«  Huebner,  Commanding  General  of  the  Ground 
and  Service  Forces  in  Europe,  made  the  rounds  of  all  club  parties  that 
night  and  voted  this  the  test« 

Much  of  the  success  of  the  evening  was  due  to  Sgt.  Shirley  Shintaffer, 
Vheeling,  West  Virginia«  Shirley  (nobody  can  pronounce  her  last  name)  used 
to  run  food  Stores  in  New  Jersey  and  Florida;  hopes  to  operate  a  restaurant 
of  her  own  soms  day«  Her  Job  is  to  supervise  the  preparation  of  food  for 
the  club,  but  for  this  special  occassion  she  did  the  cooking  herseif  -  and 
a  man's  sized  job  it  was:  -  twenty  24-pound  turkeys;  20  gallons  of  stuf  fing; 
20  gallons  of  potato  salad,  and  so  on«  Next  day  there  was  nothing  left  but 
a  dab  of  cranberry  aauce«

WAC  officers  in  FVankfurt  go  frequently  to  Kronberg  Caatle,  bullt  In 
1888  by  the  Empreas  Friedrich,  former  IVlncess  Royal  of  Qreat  Britain  and 
widow  of  Germany's  Bnoeror  Frederick  III j  but  now  taken  over  by  the  American 
Anny  as  an  officer's  club#  It  has  Gobelin  tapestries,  bath  tubs  of  Carrara 
marble,  stained  glase  medallions  in  the  Windows«  In  days  gone  by  its  royal 
guest  list  included  Queen  Victoria,  King  Edward  VII,  the  King  of  Qreece, 
The  Czar  and  Czarlna  of  Russia»  Today  its  aost  honored  guests  are  Amsrican 
officers  and  their  brides*  The  second  floor  of  the  rast  castle  has  a  series 
of  suites  available,  at  nominal  rates,  to  officers  on  leave,  and  their  f amilies. 
But  the  A*l  prior ity  is  always  given  to  honeymoonera  • 

If  a  WAC  officer  in  Frankfurt  is  invited  by  a  Colonel  or  an  officer  of 
higher  rank,  she  may  go  to  Cogen  Höuse  (a  contraction  of  COlonel  and  QENeral). 

Berlin  has  its  ^48*  club  for  both  enlisted  men  and  woxnen.  Its  guest  book 
contains  the  names  of  many  American  civilian  celebrities  who  have  dropped  in 
to  See  this  club  which  is  famous  throughout  the  Theatre. 

Berlin's  most  elaborate  officer's  club  is  Harnac  House,  run  by  WAC  Capt. 
Margot  Reis,  Jackson  Heights,  N.T.  A  grauate  of  Columbia  University  and  IVatt 
Institute,  Capt.  Reis  was  a  dietician  in  civil  lite.    Friends,  telling  the 
Story  of  her  success  in  running  the  club,  recall  that  when  she  was  put  in 
Charge  everything  was  »snafu^.  She  had  five  field  stoves  on  which  to  have 
meals  prepared  for  600.  In  a  few  weeks  the  club  had  become  a  model*  Today 
she  employs  170  Germans  and  does  a  fine  Job  in  seeing  that  they  do  a  good  job. 
Born  in  Oermany  but  living  mach  of  her  life  in  America,  she  joined  the  WAC 
••to  get  back  at  Hitler**. 

In  the  Arngr  Berchtesgaden  Recreation  Area  former ly  a  winter  and  sumner 
resort  place,  there  are  many  hoteis,  all  füll  of  Bavarian  ••atmosphere" . 
WACs  going  there  on  leave,  pay  a  small  price,  and  get,  among  other  things, 
breakfast  in  bed*  It  is  a  place  of  gaiety  and  relaxation.  It  is  understand- 
able  that  the  road  sign,  as  one  approaches,  reads  -  •^his  is  IT,  Btother**} 
and  the  sign  as  one  leaves,  says  -  ••louWe  had  it,  Brother**. 

The  tap  room  at  the  Shiffmeister  Hotel  at  nearby  Konigsee,  said  to  be 
Oermany 's  most  beautiful  lake,  is  papered  with  signs  that  go  llke  thisj  ^ 

•If  you  want  glasses,  please'  cons\at  optician,  but  don't  take  ours**. 
Hs  our  silverware  is  not  medicine  it  should  NOT  be  taken  after  meals". 

These  signs  are  the  work  of  Sgt.  Florence  Richey,  who  used  to  work  on 
the  Charlotte  (N.C.)  Observer.  She  is  Chief  Billeting  Officer  for  the  area. 
It  is  a  big  Job,  for  everybody  on  leave  wants  to  spend  a  week  end  in  this 
land  of  snow  and  sunshinej  and  every  Qovernment  official,  in  Europa  on 
business,  makes  Berchtesgaden  a  ••raust'*.  Among  the  famous  whom  Sgt.  Richey 
has  billeted  are:  -  Former  Secretary  of  State  and  Urs.  Byrnes;  Senator  and 
Mrs.  Vandenbergj  Senator  and  Mrs.  Connally,  former  Attorney-Qeneral  Biddle* 
The  week  end  I  was  there,  Senator  Wayne  Korse  was  a  guest,  and  enjoyed  an 
evening  in  the  famous  Alpine  Room  in  the  Post  Hotel. 

Sgt.  Richey  characterises  her  Job  as  ^often  a  headache,  but  never  a 
heartache**;  for  everybody,  she  says,  is  so  happy.

Corp«  Esther  F>  Hogye^  East  Cleveland,  0.,  Supervisor  of  teletype 
and  Switchboard  for  Trans-Atlantic  Overseas  Operations  in  Vienna« 
Former ly  a  Supervisor  with  the  Ohio  Bell  Telephone  Company,  she  is  a 
re-enlistee,  who  arrived  in  Vienna  last  August.  At  that  tlme  the  over- 
seas Switchboard  was  being  run  by  Austrians,  who  understood  neither  the 
mechanics  of  the  board,  nor  the  Engllsh  language.  It  was  being  run  so 
poorly  that  there  was  danger  of  thls  important  function  having  to  dose 
down  at  least  temporarily# 

Corp«  Hogye  was  put  in  Charge  and  things  beean  to  linprove.  She 
taught  the  Austrians  (she  has  20  working  for  her)  the  intricacies  of 
the  switchboard^  and  taught  them  to  speak  an  Engllsh  that  the  New  York 
Operators  coulo  understand.  Recently  Gen.  Clark  sent  her  word  that 
she  had  done  a  '^wonderful'*  job,  and  that  the  Service  had  •improved  one 
hundred  per  cent^# 

Her  Office  is  open  from  2  p.m.  to  2  a.m.  She  Ib  always  there  from 
7  p.m.  to  midnight,  the  hours  of  the  peak  load.  Hungarian-born  she 
speaks  and  reads  Hungarian  fluently«  When  she  gets  leave  she  hopes  to 
go  to  Rumania  to  visit  her  sisteri  a  war  widow  whom  she  hasn*t  seen 
since  1928«  In  her  spare  time^  she  writes,  and  writes  well« 

Sgt.  Cor a  Murphy«  Little  Rock^  Ark.,  is  another  expert  *hello  girl"* 
As  Traf f ic  Chief  for  the  military  switchboard  in  Berlin,  she  has  the 
reputation  of  being  able  to  identify  the  voice  of  every  •'Big  Shot*  in 
the  American  Ariryj  and  does  pretty  well,  too,  when  a  Sergeant  picks  up 
the  phone  to  put  through  a  call  ••for  the  Boss"*  on  the  military  ••Red 
Line**«  She  supervises  100  German  employees,  10  WACs  and  2  Allied  civil-- 
ians»  She  had  13  years  of  switchboard  experience  in  the  States,  and 
served  with  the  Army  in  France  for  9  months  before  going  to  Berlin» 

S/Spt»  Betty  Gore^  Jackson  Heights,  N.Y.,  is  a  Supervisor  in  the 
Finance  Department  at  Bamberg«  She  was  a  Yeomanette  in  World  War  I  and 
worked  at  the  Brooklyn  Navy  Yard.  ••Sure,  I  feel  older  than  the  others** 
she  says.  ••And  perhaps  it*s  more  difficult  than  the  other  tlme;  it 
certainly  is  different*  But  I'm  awfully  glad  I  joined  the  WAC**. 

She  has  a  number  of  Qerman  girls,  well  screened,  working  for  her« 
At  first,  she  admits,  she  was  a  bit  ••cagey^*  until  she  was  convinced 
completely  that  they  weren't  Nazis.  Now  she  feels  sorry  for  them  be- 
cause  they  have  so  little.  She  is  constantly  giving  them  generously 
of  her  own  supplies;  but  makes  light  of  it  and  says  they  are  •^merely 
odds  and  ends^*.  ftit  soap,  stockings,  hairpins,  chocolate,  thread, 
povdar  -•  these  are  not  odds  and  ende  to  anyone  in  Oermany  today.

Inslsts  she  bas  grown  whlle  In  the  Army),

Once  In  the  Army  thls  diminutive  dynamo  dld  a  good  Job.  She  served 
wlth  valor  in  Oen,  McArthur's  headquarters  and  was  dubbed  the  "smallest 
WAO  in  the  Pacific",  When  she  was  dlscharged  she  trled  clYlllan  llfe

Military  Qoveiiunent,  BaTaria,  and  is  statloned  at  OMÖB  headquartars  in 
Munich.  Her  assignmant  is  with  "Proper ty  Clearance".  Her  task  is  to 
enforce  the  Army  Directly^  which  ordere  that  all  former  schools,  museums, 
monasteries,  cloisters,  etc«,  in  the  area  be  used  only  for  religious 
or  edacational  activities, 

Thls  is  not  always  an  easy  Job,  for  much  of  it  is  retroactive«  In 
the  first  days  of  the  Oocupation,  in  the  strees  of  emergeney  and  before 
the  issuance  of  the  Directive,  Government  agencies  frequently  moved 
Into  the  first  suitable,  available  building,  regardless  of  vhat  ite 
pre-var  use  had  been*  Possession  was  more  important  than  permissiont 
for  there  was  no  tioe  to  be  lost.  The  enforcement  of  the  Directive  is 
therefore  sometimes  a  delicate  and  difficult  task.  Lt«  Gratto  performs 
it  80  well  that  she  has  established  a  record,  in  the  autuoin,  of  one 
''clearance"  a  day« 

Sgt«  Anne  Zeman>  Charlotte»  N.C«,  is  a  stenographer  in  the  office 
of  the  Judge-Advocate  at  Frankfixrt.  After  vorking  hours  she  takes  an 
important  part  in  the  Army's  German  Touth  Actiyities  program«  In  betveen 
times  she  reads,  and  vrites,  poetry«  Of  all  three  enterprises  she  says, 
"Now  I^m  doing  exactly  what  I  want  to  do". 

Anne  came  over  on  the  "Bridgeport"  and  was  pleased  to  find  a  plaque 
on  it  stating  that  it  was  originally  the  "Larkspur",  which  had  been  paid 
for  by  a  bond  driye  of  women  from  her  home  State  of  North  Carolina. 

Lt>  Florence  Sockwell,  Newton,  Conn. ,  able  CO.  of  the  WAC  Detachr- 
ment  at  Vienna,  has  a  Service  story  opposite  to  that  of  many.  Many 
former  stenographars  who  Joined  the  WAC  thoxight  they  were  biddlng  fare- 
vell  to  a  typewriter  and  foond  themselves  back  in  the  carbon  paper  zone. 
If  at  first  they  were  disappointed,  they  soon  were  proud  of  the  important 
and  often  secret  messages  which  their  machines  clicked  out. 

At  the  beginning  of  her  civllian  work  career  Lt.  Bockwell  was  a 
stenographer.  Ambitious  and  brilliant,  she  studied  law  at  night;  became 
a  law  Clerk  and  was  ready  to  take  the  Bar  examinations  when  war  came« 
Peeling  it  her  duty  to  do  something  "more  vitally  connected  with  the 
war  effort"  she  took,  instead,  Civil  Service  examinations  for  a  steno*» 
graphic  Position  with  the  Government  in  Washington«  She  passed  with  a 
high  grade« 

Then  she  got  to  thinklng  that  the  Army  needed  typists  and  steno- 
graphers in  far-flung  places;  that  she  was  Single,  had  no  ties;  and 
ought  to  volunteer  for  that  sort  of  Job,  thereby  releaslng  one  married 
woman  from  an  aseignment  that  might  take  her  away  from  home.   So  she 
Joined  the  WAC.  But  her  developing  skill  as  an  officer  took  her  away 
from  a  typewriter  and  finally  put  her  in  Charge  of  this  important 
Detachment« 

The  women  in  her  Detachment  Joke  -  and  pralse  -  "The  Army  took  a 
mighty  fine  'SIS'  out  of  circulation;  but  they  gave  us  a  swell  C«0*"

T/Sgt,  Henrletta  Lohner,  FenBlngton,  Penna.,  had  been  avarded 
the  coveted  Bronze  Star  shortly  before  I  met  her  In  Berlin,  where  she 
vorks  in  the  Intelligence  Division,  tretnelating  O-erman  documentß*  In 
civilian  life  ehe  worked  in  the  drafting  department  of  Westinghouse, 
but  Joined  the  WAC  in  the  summer  of  1944,  because  ehe  vas  "tired  of 
being  on  the  sidelines»*  She  was  valued  so  hlghly  by  the  Army  that 
two  days  after  she  finished  her  basic  training  she  was  flown  over  to 
London  to  work  in  "Intelligence"  and  vas  transferred  to  Berlin  last 
August* 

A  part  of  her  cltation  for  the  Bronze  Star  reads  as  follows:- 
••T/Sgt*  Lohner  distinguished  herseif  by  her  great  sklll,  tact  and 
intelligent  Performance  of  duty«  Her  vide  kncvledge  of  the  Crerman 
language  together  vith  her  villing  devotlon  to  duty  contributed  im- 
measureably  to  the  success  of  a  technlcal  investigatlon  of  Oerman 
science  and  industry,  reflecting  great  credit  upon  herseif  and  the 
Araed  Tore es  of  the  United  States"» 

That  sentence  —  "Reflecting  great  credit  upon  herseif  and  the 
Armed  Forces  of  the  United  States"  ~  was  written,  speclfically,  for 
Sgt.  Lohner,  who  richly  deserred  it.  Without  detracting  from  her 
personal  prestige,  those  words  could  be  applied  to  the  2200  WACs  now 
serving  in  the  European  Theatre»

lectures  and  will  also  give  you  some  idea  of  the  subjects  covered# 

We  wpre  wondering  if  you  v/ould  be  free  to  come  to  Montreal 
either  in  December  of  this  year  or  January  or  Pebruary  of  next, 
to  give  an  address  in  our  new  series? 

The  actual  title  we  leave  up  to  the  individual  Speaker.  A 
topic  concemed  with  ethics  would,  I  feel  sure,  prove  very 
acceptable.  The  lectures  are  on  a  university  rather  than  a 
popÄlar  basis,  which  means  an  appreciative  audience  of  about  150 
people#  We  can  make  the  actual  date  any  day  in  the  month  you  may 
choose  to  suit  your  convenience«  While  v/e  are  not  in  a  position  to 
off  er  fees  we  naturally  take  care  of  all  travelling  and  other  out- 
of-pocket  expenses  and  of  your  entectainment  while  in  Montreal« 

I  may  mention  that  your  name  was  selected  from  among 
those  recommended  to  us  by  Dr«  Henry  Cadbury  of  Harvard,  who  is 
also  Chairman  of  the  American  Friends  Se37vice  Coiniiittee# 

Sincerely  hoping  that  you  may  be  able  to  come, 


Yours  very  tmaly,

t 


Dear  Dr#  Baumg«rdt ; 

I  must  apologise  for  the  long  delay  in  answering  your 
very  kind  letter  of  October  22,  last#  We  have  been  experiencing 
soniB  difficulty  in  completing  our  programme  as  most  of  the 
Speakers  vdshed  to  come  at  about  the  same  time#  Hov/ever,  the 
Situation  is  beginning  to  clarify  at  last  and  I  am  able  to 
write  to  you  suggesting  a  definite  date* 

V/e  are  particularly  anxious  for  you  to  come  here 
and  v;e  hope  the  week-end  of  I.Iay  12  to  14,  vdll  prove  convenient 
for  you?  The  best  day  for  the  lecture,  from  our  point  of  view, 
v/ould  be  monday  evening  Kay  14  • 

While  the  topic  of '  LTysticism  and  Science'^  appeals  to 
US  personally,  we  feel  that  the  times  v/ould  perhaps  be  better 
served  by  the  one,  "Psychology  of  Anti-Semitism*'*  and,  with 
your  permission,  we  v;ill  announce  that  as  the  title  of  your 
lecture» 

Should  hK   you  be  able  to  stay  here  a  day  or  two, 
as  v/e  hope,  there  v;ill  be  opportunities  to  discuss  the  other 
subject  informally  with  small  f^roups  of  students  and  others 
if  you  desire  to  do  so. 

With  kind  regards  and  our  very  wärmest  Greetings  for 
Christmas  and  the  New  Year. 

Yours  sincerely, 

-  ■  /       ClERK.

Dear  Dr.  Baumgardt : 

As  you  will  see  hy  the  enclosed  Programme  v/e 
have  scheduled  your  lecture  for  Monday  13.  One  week  later 
would  miss  several  interested  students  who  particularly 
wish  to  meet  you,  We  certainly  hope  the  thirteenth  will  not 
prove  too  inconvenient  for  you. 

Your  travelling  expenses  will  sent  from  the 
Priends  General  Conference  in  Philadelphia.  V/ould  you  like  ^S'^f 
them  to  mail  you  a  cheque  to  =over  the  anticipated  cost   '^TJ'^ 
beforehand,  or  would  you  prefer  to  have  the  cheque  mailed 
when  you  get  back  and  know  the  exact  amount? 

The  Montreal  arrangements  are  natura lly  all 
taken  of .  We  presume  you  will  be  Coming  here  on  the  night 
train  either  Friday  night  May  10,  or  Saturday  night  May  11, 
whichever  you  find  the  more  convenient. 

I  will  write  to  you  again  as  the  time  for 
your  Visit  draws  nearer. 

With  kind  regards, 

Yours  sincerely.

t 


Dear  Dr»  Baumgar  dt: 

I  must  apologise  f or  not  ansv/ering  your  letter 
earlier*  A  change  of  date  sometimes  involves  a  fev/  practical 
difficulties  and  in  this  instance  v/e  v/ere  waiting  to  be 
sure  that  the  room,  in  v/hich  v/e  regularly  hold  these  meetings, 
v/ould  be  available  to  us  on  the  new  date#  ITov/ever,  I  am  happy 
to  report  that  everything  is  apparently  nov/  in  order  for  your 
lecture  here  on  June  3,  next# 

Our  Chief  regret  in  postponing  the  lecture  is  that 
most  of  the  McGill  University  students  and  faculty  will  have 
left  the  city  by  the  end  of  May:  many  of  v/hom  were  looking 
forvvard  particularly  to  your  visit. 

We  v/ould  like  to  knov;  as  soon  as  possible  upon 
v/hat  day  you  expect  to  arrive  in  Kontreal  and  how  long  you  v/ill 
be  able  to  remain  v;ith  us#  This  is  so  that  we  can  make  arrange- 
ments  for  you  to  meet  with  smaller  groups  of  interested  people 
and  otherwise  provide  for  your  entertairimentt  V/e  are  anxious 
that  your  visit  here  should  be  made  as  enjoyable  as  is  possible* 

V/e  v/ould  also  appreciate  receiving  a  photograph  of 
yourself ,  approximately  4  by  6  inches-  glossy  print,  for  news- 
paper  Publicity*  V/e  will,  of  course,  assume  the  responsibility 
for  the  cost  of  any  such  picture. 


With  kindest  regards, 
Yours  sincerely,

MONTREAL  MONTHLY  MEETING 

SOCIETY  OF   FRIENDS 
(QUAKERS) 

July  10,  1946 

Dr.  "David  Baumgardt, 
V/ashingt4n,  D.C. 
U.S.A. 

Dear  Dr»  Baumgardt: 

First  let  me  apologise  for  not  writing  to  you  sooner* 
Your  understanding  about  the  expense  cheque  is  quite  correct» 
Beimard  V/alton  v;as  asked  to  send  this  to  you  in  Washington. 
It  was  possibly  delayed  because  he  was  at  Cape  May  preparing 
for  t!he  General  Conference*  However,  I  feel  this  is  no  excuse 
and,  although  you  view  the  matter  so  generously,  v/e  are  seriously 
at  fault.  I  will  find  out  from  Bemard  Walton  if  and  when  the 
cheque  v/as  mailed  and  I  would  appreciate  it  if  you  would  be 
good  enough  to  let  me  know  if  it  has  still  not  arrived. 

It  was  my  good  Intention  to  write  you  long  before  this: 
firstly  to  express  the  thanks  of  Montreal  Friends,  and  then  my 
own  deep  appreciation  of  your  visit  with  us.  I  was  busy  immediate» 
-ly  after  your  departure  preparing  my  reports  for  Canada  Yearly 
Meeting.  Following  the  Yearly  Meeting  my  wife  and  I  had  agreed 
to  act  as  leaders  f o:^  the  Young  Friends  Summer  Camp  in  Morthem 
Ontario;  v;e  have  the:^fore  been  away  from  home  some  considerable 
time.  I  retumed  to  Montreal  to-day  and  found  your  very  kind 
letter  awaitin,^  me. 


f 


'S- 


'CJ> 


Although,  for  reasons  v/hich  I  fully  appreciate,  you 
feel  it  impossible  for  you  to  retuim  to  Germany  to  take  up  your 
work  there,  it  must  be  encouraging  and  gratifying  to  hear  again 
from  some  of  your  former  Student s  expressing  this  desire  for 
your  retura. 

I  think  thet  you  and  Mrs.  Baumgardt  brought  the  spirit 
of  friendliness  abd  goodwill  with  you,  and  we  are  particularly 
happy  that  you  feel  it  found  a  ready  and  answering  response  in 
US.  I  shall  look  fr«ward  to  receiving  a  copy  of  your  essay  on 
medieval  mysticism  v/hen  it  is  printed;  but  expect  a  line  from 
me  after  I  have  had  an  opportunity  to  read  the  one  in  the 
Hibbert  Journal. 

My  wife  joins  me  in  sending  our  kindest  thoughts 
and  sincere  good  wishes  to  you  and  to  Mrs  Baumgardt •  Should 
the  opportunity  occur  we  v/ill  most  certainly  call  upon  you 
in  Washington.  Many  thanks  again  for  the  kind  invitation. 


Cordially  yours.

Dear  Professor  Baiangardt , 

I  have  recelved  both  of  your  klnd  lettera, 
and  must  apologlze  for  not  havlng  anawered  earller.  I  have 
aeiayed  In  the  hop«  that  an  openlng  would  appear  for  me  to

pendlng  wlth  the  Birmingham  Gulld;  and  If  I  can  yet  find 
a  moment  to  get  to  Birmingham  I  ahall  do  ao,  and  ahall  be 
most  hppy  to  take  the  occaslon  to  look  you  up  at  Selly  Oak. 
But  I  am  travelllng  wlth  my  wlfe,  and  our  engagementa  are 
thlck-aet  In  the  ahort  tlme  that  remalna;  ao  that  the 
prospects  of  the  neceaaary  detachment  grow  alimmer. 

T««^««  r       *u  "^^^^^  ^^^  th.U\k   of  allowlng  you  to  travel  to 
London  for  the  purpose  of  a  meetlng.  We  ahall  be  merely 
paaaln,,^  through,  and  the  tlme  we  have  muat  be  at  the  hercy 
Of  the  tangle  of  bualness  that  come  at  the  end  of  a  year 
abroad.   it  has  been  neceaaarji  to  compeas  thla  aecond 
aerlea  of  lecturea  Into  a  perlod  of  flve  weeka,  owlng  to 
the  fact  that  I  am  ob  duty  at  Harvard  Immedlately  wlth  the 
openlng  of  our  aecond  aemeater,  beglnnlng  Feteruary.  We  are 
.^®  ri"f  ^^°^   Southampton  (by  neceaalty  of  datea)  on  the 
North  GermanLloyd  "Bremen",  January  28. 

If  there  la  any  commlaalon  I  could  carry  out 
for  you  on  the  other  aide,  I  truat  you  will  let  me  know  of 
lt.  And  If  you  are  In  Amerika,  It  will  give  us  both  the 
greateat  plaaure  to  have  you  call  In  Cambridge  (at  16.

of  1902-03,  wlth  Paulaen,  Slmmel,  Deaaolr,  Dllthey,  and 
Laaaon,  and  alao  on  occaalon  heard  Vlerkandt  and  Menzer. 
I  fear  the  unlverslty  haa  fallen  on  evll  daya,  but  one 
must  hope,  not  fOBver. 

Wlth  klnd  regards,  belleve  me 

Slncerely  yours.

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt: 


It  y/as  a  Dleasure  to  hear  from  you.   I  had  already 
heard  the  neiws  that  you  are  to  be  at  Pendle  Hill  during 
this  Coming  year.   I  trust  that  you  )/vill  be  able  to  Visit 
US  during  the  session  at  Harvard.   Unfortunately  I  am  off 
for  the  country,  at  Madison,  New  Kamnshire,  where  I  shall 
be  occupied  with  some  raanusorints  for  most  of  the  time. 
I  am  sorry  that  I  shall  be  away  during  the  weekend  when 
you  are  to  be  in  Cambridge,  but  our  meeting,  I  am  sure, 
will  not  be  long  deferred.

Dear  Sirs: 


f 


We  are  all  oonoerned  as  Amerioans  in  beooming  better 
informed  about  Asia,  including  the  difficult  Situation  in 
India.  We  in  the  oolleges  are  espeoially  oonoerned,  since 
we  are  responsible  for  securing  for  cur  students  a  Just 
baokground  for  Judging  present  issues.  We  need  informative 
and  objeotive  reporting  of  faots,  up  to  the  present  moment. 
More  than  this,  we  need  interpr  etations.  These  interpre- 
tations,  where  situations  are  tense,  will  be  diverse.  v7hat 
we  require  for  our  students  is  that  the  major  views  at 
issue  shall  be  represented  on  a  scholarly  level  of  dis- 
oussion,  and  in  the  objective  tempar  of  the  seeker  for 
truth . 

For  the  Indian  Situation,  whioh  is  for  us  the  most 
difficult,  I  am  happy  to  be  able  to  reoommend  unreservedly 
l^'x.   Thomas  Yahkub  (A.M. ,  Middlebxiry) ,  a  graduate  of  t  he 
Divinity  Sohool  at  Harvard,  for  six  years  researoh  fellow 
on  the  Rookef eller  Foundation  at  Norfolk  Prison  Colony  in 
Massachusetts,  founder  and  head  of  India  House  in  Boston. 

Mr.  Yahkub  is  a  native  of  Travanoore,  India.  He  is 
personally  acquainted  with  many  of  the  men  now  prominent  in 
the  political  scene  in  India.  For  three  months  he  was  res- 
ident at  Santiniketan  with  Tagcr  e;  in  1936,  he  took  a  trip 
through  South  India  with  Gandhi.  He  is  a  good  Speaker;  and 
while  his  convictions  are  strongly  with  the  general  position 
of  the  Congress  Party,  he  is  sorupulous  in  Judgraent,  has 
complete  oommand  of  his  presentation,  and  is  genuinely  helpful 
in  the  conduot  of  discussion. 

He  has  spoken  frequently  to  groups  in  and  about  Boston. 
President  Bixler  of  Colby  College  is  asking  him  to  lecture  there 
on  India.  In  my  Judgment ,  it  will  be  much  to  the  advantage  of 
our  students  if  he  oan  have  a  Wide  hearing  among  our  Colleges. 

Sinoerely  yours, 


I

Dr.  David  Baumgardt  ^ 

Consultant  in  Philosophjr 
Library  of  Congress 
Washington,  D.  C. 

Dear  Dt»  Baumgardt: 

During  the  last  week  of  June  there  took  place  in  Western 
Berlin  a  series  of  meetings  out  of  which  emerged  an  International 
Congress  for  Cultural  Freedom.  The  participants  included  eminent 
wrlters,  artists,  scholars,  and  s dentis ts  from  many  countries  of 
the  World.  They  journeyed  to  Berlin  in  order  to  affirm  in  these 
troubled  times  their  common  faith  in  the  inalienable  rights  of 
human  beings  in  every  society,  and  their  resolution  to  defend  and 
extend  the  structure  of  democratic  freedoms  in  every  culture. 

At  the  close  of  its  sessions  the  International  Congress 
for  Cultural  Freedom  unanimously  adopted  the  Manifesto  of  Freedom, 
a  copy  of  which  is  enclosed.     In  addition  it  sent  a  message  to 
artists,  writers  and  scientists  behind  the  Iron  Curtain  expressing 
its  solidarity  with  their  struggle  for  freedom. 

Committees  already  exist  in  Italy,  Great  Britain,  Western

Professor  David  Baumgardt 

The  Fleetwood 

39  East  Broadway 

Apt.  601 

Long  Beach,  N,Y. 

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt, 

I  was  shocked  and  mystif ied  by  your  note  in  which  you  State  that 
'  after  a  Short  friendly  attitude  toward'^  you,  I  ''obviously  dropped"  you 
Nothing  could  be  further  from  the  truth,  I  have  always  had  a  great  admiration 
for  you  and  your  work,  particxalarly  your  efforts  to  rehabilitate  the  philosophical 
reputation  of  Jeremy  Bentham.  But  somehow  or  other  o^ir  paths  have  not  crossed 
not  because  I  dropped  you.  Life  is  very  hectic  for  me  with  mich  trouble  and 
sickness  in  my  immediate  family  whieh  makes  it  impossible  for  me  to  see  very 
dear  friends  or  live  a  normal  social  existence. 

I  consider  myself  a  modified  utilitarian  but  cannot  go  the  entire  way 
because  of  difficulties  similar  to  those  that  Sidgewick  found  in  utilitarianism, 
viz.,  the  concept  of  justice  seems  to  me  an  independent  value. 

Some  day  I  hope  to  write  something  on  Bentham  and  to  call  attention  to 
your  heroic  labors  in  his  behalf.

Dear  Professor  Hookj

May  I  apologize  for  not  having 
attehded  the   **8umptuou8   luncheon**     and   the  follovlng 
discussion  of  Prof,   Levi's  paper  on  May     llth*     After 
a  coronary   Insufficiency  the     doctor  sug^ested  that  I 
shoiald  not  attend   the  Meeting  of  the  Institute  at  all« 
But  I  dld  not  vant   to    cancel  my  acceptance  of  your 
kind  Invitation«     So  he  allowed  me   to  go  only  acconH* 
panied  by  my  vife»    to   wlthdrav  as  soon  as  posslble 
and   to  stick    to  a  strict  8alt-and-»fat-*free  diet« 
Please  forgive  me»    thereforet   for  vhat  I  had   to  do 
most  reluctantly«  *  '    ^  ,. 

May 
my   travelling  expenses: 


I  enclose   the  mention  of

I  should  have  liked   to  include 
in  my   fev  critical  observations  on  natural  law  a 
reference  to  Wilhelm  R.   Beyer »8  Rechtsphilosophische 
Besinnung;    Eine  Varnupg  vor  der  ewigen  Wiederkehr  des 
Haturre9hts,    1947,    to  Leo  Strauss*   Natural  Right  and 
History     1955,   and  even   to  Sidgwick's  and  Ross«    con- 
cepts  of^right^^in   ethics.      But  what  I  said  already   ex- 
hausted   the  time  that  could  possibly  be  allotted  to  me 
considering  the  many  other  Speakers  still  wishing  to 
be  heard» 


i 


So  I  regret   that  I   could  not  even 
elucidate  more     fully  my  criticism  of  Prof«  Remisen *& 
illUTTiinating  cotnparison  of  the  relation  of  substance 
to  accident  on   the  one  band  and  natural  law  to  positive

Dear  Dr»  Bauiagardt: 

I  am  writing  to  say  again  how  very  much  Dr.  Keane  and  I 
enjoyed  our  visit  with  you  a  few  days  ago»  It  was,  of  course,  all 
too  brlef  for  the  meny  questions  which  I  wieh  we  raignt  explore 
together,  and  I  hope  that  forther  occaslons  can  be  arranged  v;here  in 
we  can  diecuse  matters  of  aeep  and  conimon  concern  to  all  of  us» 

Urs.  Dorothy  Canfield  Pisher  and  I  have  been  discussing  of  late 
the  very  great  problem  of  the  relation  between  Christian  cthlc  ana  the 
economic  and  political  orders  as  they  are  now  constructed.  As  you  well 
^now,  many  men  in  businees  and  in  politics  are  at  a  great  loss  as  to 
what  religion  can  say  to  them  with  respect  to  the  manageraent  of  their 
coucerns.  Many  of  tnem  feel  that  there  is  no  practical  relation  between 
wnat  ae   Christian  moralists  teach  and  what  they  feel  is  necessfary  for 
them  to  do  in  order  to  preserve  and  further  the  kind  of  order  which  we 
have  developed.   I  nave  indicated  to  Mrs.  flsher  that  I  intend  to  explore 
this  problem  with  sorae  thoroughness  during  the  year  or  two  immediately 
ahead  of  me.  Any  suggestlons  wnich  you  may  have  either  as  to  literature 
on  the  subject  or  your  own  insights  will  be  greatly  appreciated.  We 
who  are  in  the  field  of  religion  can  often  find  very  great  help  from  the

It  was  very  kind  of  you    to  write  ne  from  yoiir  Vermont  retreat 
and  I  wish  to  thank  you  very  heartily  for  the  suggestions  which 
you  have  sent  in  answer  to  ny  inquiry«     I  have  teen  reading  Weber 
and  Troeltsch  very  recently  and  as  you  suggest  have  found  them 
very  helpful*     I  was  interested  to  leam  that  Ernst  Troeltsch  was 
a  oollefi^ue  of  yours  at  Berlin  University* 

Uhfortunately  I  shall  i»t  have  the  pleasure  of  oonversations 
with  you  next  year  in  view  of  the  fact  that  I  shall  "be  out  of 
Washington*     The  Trustees  of  the  TMversity  have  granted  we  a 
sabhatical  leave  and  it  is  wy  plan  to  spend  the  year  in  India 
atteaqpting  to  develop  a  program  of  intercultural  relations  in 
Calcuttat  under  the  auspices  of  the  American  Priends  Service 
Coandtteet     I  am  eaqpecting  to  continue  aoy  researcfa  in  the  field  of 
Christian  ethics  and  economic  life  while  there*    Dr*  Keene  is 
ej^ÄCted  to  be  in  Washington  and  I  am  sure  will  get  in  toudi  with

Dear  Professor  Baungart: 

I  am  vnriting  rather  belatedly  in  the  interest  of  Professor 
Eugene  AdaiBS  and  the  appointment  which  he  sugge&ted  tc  you  at  Colgate 
University.     I  suppose  that  by  this  tiine  your  final  decision  has 
already  Deen  giveni  but  if  it  has  not,   I  wculd  like  to  yxrge  you  once 
more  to  think  fa^oräbly  of  it#     I  believe  that  the  teaching  load  woiild 
not  be  so  heavy  as  to  interfere  to  any  marked  extent  with  yovor  research 
worlr  and  I  ax  sure  you  woiild  cnjoy  hoth  the  work  and  the  people  at 
Co  Igate  • 

In  Gase  you  have  decided  against  it  I  will  look  forv^ard  to  seeing 
you  here  in  the  city  and  vi  11  hcpe  you  can  come  to  visit  us  here  at

42,  Weoley  Hill, 
Selly  Oak, 

Biirminghain,  29. 
6th  Karch,  i960* 


l^y   dear  Professor  3aiimr;strdt, 

Thank  you  very  much  for  yoiir  raost  kind  and  flrlendly 
letter,  and  also  for  the  honour  you  have  done  me  In  placing  me 
among  those  v/hom  you  "^  uld  wish  to  contribute  to  the  collection 
of  studies  to  mark  your  70th  birttiday*  The  e  is  nothing  I  should 
like  more  to  do,  but  I  have  vy-ith  the  utmost  regret  to  decline  the 
invitation.   I  have  nothing  ready  to  hand  that  v/-  uld  be  worthy  of 
a  place  in  it,  and  I  would  not  send  anything  that  I  should  consider 
unworthy;  nor  am  T  sble  to  v/rite  an  essay  such  as  i  should  wish  to 
v.Tite  for  some  time  to  come,  if  ever*  The  ailments  of  old  age  are 
heavy  upon  me,  especially  the  approach  to  blindness  that  prevents 
me  from  eith  r  reading  or  wTiting,  so  that  I  cannot  use  a  book 
without  a  reader  alv^ys  at  hand,  and  that  is  a  srervice  I  cannot 
conmiand.  So  I  hope  and  trust  that  you  v/on^t  think  rae  insensible 
of  the  kindness  of  the  invitation^  or  of  the  opportunity  I  must 
let  go  by  of  pleasing  you  and  standing  in  the  list  of  your  friends* 

I  have  long  w^nted  to  vTite  to  you,  but  never  come  to  it, 
and  nov7  I  ajn  delighted  to  have  nev/s  of  you  at  first  hand  and  to 
learn  that  your  70th  birthday  finds  you  at  v/ork  and  evide'tly  in 
strength  and  health.  I  too  remember  those  walks  of  ours  in  bygone 
days  when  you  gave  me  freely  of  your  mind,  to  my  great  advantage. 
It  is  so  pleasant  to  hear  that  you  remember  Selly  Oak  so  ^'ell,  and 
that  your  sojourn  in  our  midst  was  so  helpful  to  you  when  you  ^^^ere 
a  banished  man  and  your  purooses  had  seemed  to  be  broken  off,  You 
were  a  moF?t  ^^^elcome  addition  to  our  ^or^lpf.^r^  and  to  my  ovm   circle 
of  friends.   I  see  Hai  Adams  regularly  on  one  evening  in  the  wee]^, 
and  not  seldom  vre  t^  ink  and  talk  of  you.  Among  other  of  my  many 
ngligences  and  oraissions,  I  did  not  vrrite  to  you  v-hen  the  news 
came  that  you  had  lost  Mrs.  Baumgardt,  and  now  that  I  have  lost 
my  ovjii   vrife  I  feel  veiy  sorry  I  did  not,  for  a  few  vrords  from 
those  v;ho  knew  her,  such  as  you  \vrite  to  me,  are  a  real  consolation.- 
In  your  circumstances ,  out  there  a^^^*  y  from  your  old  home,  you  must 
have  suffered  continually  from  her  absence«  One  can  say  no  more  in 
these  cases  than  the  little  that  is  to  be  said  and  is  knov/n  to  us  all, 
and  when  the  hour  of  parting  comes  v/e  all  are,  or  have  to  be,  phil- 
osophers*  It  is  easy  to  iraagine  that  you  v;ish  the  Atlantic  would 
one  day  bear  you  across  to  Europe,  to  your  own  old  country,and  to  ours, 
but  you  will  surely  have  found  a  friendly  refuge  in  the  States  and 
among  that  warm-hearted  people.  Yet  I  t'^ink  I  know  what  nostalgia  is, 
for  I  used  to  suffer  from  it  vrhen  I  v/as  abroad.

Margaret  is  now  my  mainstay  and  spends  on  me  the  care 
and  the  goodness  she  spent  on  her  mother  for  more  than  a 
dozen  veaiPS,  v.^hen  she  lay  bedridden,  often  in  pain  and  great 
depression.  In  reason  v^re  can  only  be  glad  that  she  is  now 
released  from  it  all  and  lies  at  rest«  V/e  are  turning  to 
cur  ov;n  lives  and  niaking  plans  for  vTork  and  oleasure«  We 
hope  to  take  a  suinner  holiday  in  Ireland,  the  land  I  coine 
from,  or  atather  ny  ancestors  came  from,  vath  c'  oice  of 
Dubin  and  the  vrest  coast  from  Cork  to  Galvgry,   I  alvrays 
think  the  Irish  a  highly  gifted  and  even  a  loveable  folk, 
and  alv/ays  enjoy  going  iimong  them, 

I  have  done  little  of  a  literary  nature  in  the  last 
ten  years,  but  I  did  put  through  a  second  edition  of  my 
little  work  on  Shelley' s  poems  of  1820,  and  a  little  book 
of  selections  from  Carlyle  for  use  in  schools  or  for  the 
general  reader,  if  there  is  such  a  man*  I  have  v>/ritten 
also  a  sheaf  of  reminiscences,  and  am  sending  it  to  the 
0#U.P.  at  their  request,  though  I  think  it  hardly  lil^ely 
they  vrill  take  it,  for  it  is  anecdotal  and  much  on  the 
Itght  ?ide.

Dear  Rabbi  Cohn: 

The  beglnning  of  this  year  I  proiDi»««t 
«y  friends  and  myself  to  decline  requests  for  cc>; ' 
tributions  to  periodicals,  festschriften  and  thc 
like.  Nevertheless,  I  wrote  a  lengthy  essay  on 
Justice  Frankfurter,  a  very  «hört  one  of  Iä"win 
Loewenson.  one  for  the  Vice  President  of  India  8,.ut 
a  paper  for  the  Xlllth  International  Congress  ol 
Philosophy. 

So  I  find  it  extremely  difficult  to 
sav  Ho  to  the  friendly  invitation  by  the  son  of 
my  late  Grueewald  Rabbi  to  honor  my  Hew  York  Rab^ 

To  this  end  vould  you  accept  a  few 
of  mine  on  Judaism  today,  c4rca  five 
tatively  entitled  «Gedankensplitter  zur 
t«t  des  Juden  von  heute"  and  would  you 
eiD  preferably  in  Oerman? 

If  so,  kindly  let  me  know  and  also 
ther  contributors  are  so  that  I  may  adapl 
the  style  of  the  whole  as  far  as  possil  , 

wärmest  personal  wishes,

Long  Beach,  L.I.,  N.  Y. 

Dear  Prof.  Baumgardt: 

On  the  occaslon  of  the  70th  Birthday  of  Rabbi  Hugo 
Hahn,  Congregation  Habonim  is  Publishing  a  Jubilee  Volume  in 
his  honor«   The  publication  of  this  volume  has  been  well  over- 
subscribed  and  we  are  now  in  the  fortunate  Position  to  go 
beyond  our  originally  conceived  limitations. 

The  Publication« s  Committee  would  be  greatly  honored  if 
you  would  submit  an  essay,  as  a  means  of  helping  us  honor  our 
esteemed  Dr«  Hahn.   The  theme  that  we  have  chosen  for  the 
volume,  is,  »«Synagogue,  Tradition,  and  Modern  Man,"  The  theme 
is  purposely  broad  to  make  it  easy  as  possible  for  our  contri- 
butors  to  find  a  subject  matter  within  the  competence  which  can 
be  subsumed  under  the  overall  title,   V/e  are  receiving  articles 
of  ten  type-written,  double  spaced  pages  in  length. 

Due  to  the  unexpected  expansion  of  our  volume  we  are 
extending  the  deadline  for  contributions  until  the  end  of 
March.   We  would  be  honored  to  have  you  among  our  contributors 
and  hope  that,  even  on  such  short  notice,  you  will  find  the 
time  to  prepare  an  article  for  us. 

With  kindest  personal  greetings,  and  looking  forward 
to  a  favorable  reply,  I  am, 

Sincerely  yours3

Sehr  geehrter  Herr  Professor  Baumgardt: 

Heute  komme  ich  mit  schlechtem  Gewissen  zu  Ihnen« 

Bevor  ich  vor  einigen  Wochen  nach  Israel  fuhr,  habe 
ich  Ihnen  in  aller  Eile  eine  kurze  Grat ulations karte  an 
Columbia  University  geschickt.  Ich  weiss  nicht,  ob  Sie 
meine  Zeilen  je  erhalten  haben.  Jedenfalls  moechte  ich 
noch  einmal  Ihnen  recht  herzlich  Glueck  wuenschen  und 
die  Hoffnung  aussprechen  duerfen,  dass  Sie  noch  viele 
Jahre  in  Gesundheit  und  Freude  an  Ihrem  Werk  arbeiten 
duerfen.  Sie  wissen,  wie  sehr  ich  Ihre  Arbeit  schaetze 
und  ich  wuerde  mich  gluecklich  wissen,  wenn  Sie  mich  in 
meinen  Bestrebungen  zur  Erhaltung  des  deutsch-Juedischen 
Erbes  in  der  Gemeinde  Habonim  unterstuetzen  wuerden. 

Es  wird  Sie  vielleicht  interessieren,  dass  unser 
Bulletin  vom  Herbst  ab  gedruckt  erscheinen  wird«  Ich  wae- 
re  Ihnen  sehr  dankbar,  wenn  ich  hin  und  dar  mit  einem  Bei- 
trag von  Ihnen  rechnen  duerfte.  Wir  koennen  natuerlich 
keine  grossen  Gehaeiter  bezahlen,  aber  ich  hoffe,  dass 
wir  ueber  diese  Frage  uns  einigen  koennen« 

Am  liebsten  wuerde  ich  mich  ueber  all  diese  Probleme 
mit  Ihnen  einmal  -  wenigstens  ueber  das  Telefon  -  unterhalb 
ten.  Lassen  Sie  mich  nur  wissen, was  die  beste  Zeit  ist,  wo 
ich  ohne  Sie  zu  stoeren,  anrufen  kann« 

Fuer  heute  bin  ich 


mit  herzl

For  qulte   a   long  time   I  htive   bcen   liVing  serenely 
In  an  or^^le   of  discorafort.   The  house    Is  füll  of  TPork.en,   from 
all   eldec   come   hurling  iown  tlles  end  refters.ploster.lathes, 
brieks  end  rubble,   P/Ien  wheel  it  eway   i  i   btrrows,    oad  e  lorry 
fetchee   It  In  the   eveiirig  whan   the    pile    gete  big,    The   plf  ce   Is 
füll  of  ladders.ropes  end  pulleye  and  the   beskets  on   the   pulle ys 
let  down   the   broken   cejiflliigB   into   the   p.tirden.        I   eay  I  live 
eere-iely  li   the    lidct  of   it  becDUse   I  never  hsve   vorried   over  whtit 
is  necessery  end  moreover  heve  hed   before   me   for   so   long  e   vieion 
of  euch  owfulnesß,    thot   things   that  et   one    tirae  might  hcve  «Bttered 
no   lonrer    seen  very   i:iportQnt.    It   is   not  quite    thot  oae   doess  not 
core   but   thet  one   seec   these  heppeniags   in  reletlon  to  things   co 
grim  thpt  one   tßkec   them  undisturbed.   In   fact  one  hes   e   sense   of 
volues.      The   stark  neT?   roof  which  is  meteritjlizi    g  kecps   the 
Trater  out,  and  I  am  grate ful  to  it;   it  is  e   greot  treat  for  me 
on   roining  nightE-end   days-  not   to  h6ve    to  run  hither   end   thither 
rith  pots  ond  pens  eniptying  baths  end  basins  and   also   I  ha« 
severel  leaking  pipes   through  pressure  of   shifted  walls.   I  did 
not  fuce  about   it  but  now   that  is  et   last 
relieved.    I  had  a   good   spell  of  it  before 

Gradually  now  «indovs  are   belng  put 
which  hes  kept   out   the  ufeather  -  end   kept 

reiioved  vhen   the   glazer  finds  time    to  put  

there   is  not  time   he   ]e  avee   the   bleck  stuff  et   the   bsck'of   the 
new  frames  which  ore  of  bright  piak  wood,    so  it  looks   es   if   they 
were    shining  bright  ar^einet  a   pitch  bleck  night  oAtside.     Fortunate- 
ly  by  a   ceprice   of  blast  every  room  -  except   one   has  sorae   licht- 
for  instence,    the   drowing  room  has   the   left  window   frsme   untoudhed, 
the  other   three  were   ripped   out  in   splintersl 

The    chapel   is   pone  v.ith   cottager,    Oervices   ere  now  held 
in    the   dining  room.      lise   seid   the   other  day  how   pleased   willie 
woulö  be,    and  how  amused!  They  asked    if   they  mlprht   use   the 

bern,   but   it  is  not   safe,    so  I  gave   them  the   room  -   curtains 
for  doors,   I   soid   to  the  man  who  msde   the    request  (kn  the   etrly 
morning  when  it  oll  happened   "you  know  I  never  go  to  church"     end 
he   geve   me   an  enchanting  smile   end   with  e   llttle   leugh  replied 
"now   the   chutch  will   coae    to  you". 

When   I  heard   the   great  rosr  of  the   thlng  and    the   e  igine 
shut  off  Just  ebove,    as  it   cecmed,    end   the   rather   curious   shuffling 
sound   of  it   tenring  down   the   cky,    in   the   Bpüt-second  which  I 
thought  was  my  last,    I  had   such  e   perfect   sense  of  life    thot   it 
ic   good   to  remeraber.      I  hope   others  havc   thls  experience   Then 
desaster   comet   to   them,   It  comforts  me   to   think  they  may  feel 
like    thot,   I  had   an  omazing  heedache   for   three  wtelcs, 
Let  Alice   know  and   iSirene   end   give    them  .iiy   love   and    thought. 
And    to  you  ond   David   I  am  as  alweys    /    \    ,.

Dear  Professor  Baumgardt, 

On  the  occasion  of  your  birthday,  I  would  like 
to  convey  to  you  the  congratulations  of  the  Faculty  of 
Hximanities  and  the  Department  of  Philosophy  of  the  Hebrew 
üniversity. 

Those  who  came  across  your  philosophical  work 
highly  appreciate  whatever  they  learned  from  it.   In  your 
analysis  of  the  prohlem  of  possibility,  in  your  writings 
in  Ethics  we  encounter  a  philosopher  of  deep  penetration 
into  the  problem  and  into  the  historical  context  of  the 
ideas  he  is  concemed  with.   We  are  glad  that  our  students 
find  the  same  interest  in  your  work  as  we  do. 

Your  interest  in  the  philosophical  activities 
in  Israel  and  your  share  in  the  establishment  of  a  Hebrew 
philosophical  Journal  are  well-known  and  highly  appreciated. 

Since  I  leam  that  you  will  be  bef  ore  long  in 
Israel,  I  do  hope  that  you  will  be  in  the  position  to 
lecture  here  to  the  Department  and  the  Philosophical  Society. 

With  all  the  best  wishes, 

Yours  sincerely

Dear  Sir:- 

Your  letter  to  Vis»   Ginzberg,  Registrar  of  the 
University,  has  been  forwarded  from  Jerusalem. 

It  seems  to  me  that  your  plan  of  issuing  a  year 
book  on  Jewish  phllosophy  is  worthy  of  every  possible  en» 
ootiragement»  If  Judaism  is  to  have  its  place  in  the  new 
World  of  thought  and  of  aotion,  Jewish  philosophy  must  be 
one  of  its  primary  oonoerns»  There  is  no  religious,  or 
philosophioal,  or  moral,  or  social  oode  that  is  not  being 
questioned«  This  is  as  it  should  be,  particularly  sinoe 
the  Great  War»  Codes  and  Systems  that  were  altogether  in- 
effioaoious  in  averting  the  overthrow  of  religion,  whioh 
is  what  any  war  really  means,  mtust  be  subjeoted  to  dili- 
gent  soratiny« 

It  is  indeed  one  of  the  aims  of  the  Hebrew  Uni» 
versity  at  Jerusalem  to  bring  about  a  oonoentration  of 
Jewish  mind  and  to  afford  an  opportunity  to  the  Jewish 
mind  to  devote  itself  to  human  knowledge  and  to  the  mean- 
ing  of  reality»  It  is  our  hope  that  every  soholar  ooming  to 
Jerusalem,  whatever  be  his  field  of  researoh,  will  be  in- 
^erested  in  problems  of  philosophy»

Dr.  David  Baumgardt 


It  Is  our  oonvlotion  also  that  It  is  essential 
In  the  eluoldation  of  Jevish  philoaophy  to  have  at  the 
same  Universlty  Jews  who  are  Jewish  philoBophers  in  the 
teohnioal  sense  of  the  term  in  that  they  are  experts  in 
the  doouments  of  Jewish  philosophy,  and  Jews  who  are  ex< 
perts  in  other  hranches  of  philosophy.  The  one  will  in- 
fluenoe  and  fructify  the  other»  The  sajne  prooodure  is 
neoessary  in  all  of  the  Geisttswissensohaften,  so  that 
the  net  result  may  he  a  great  and  new  synthesis» 

The  Hebrew  University  oannot  under  present  oir- 
oumstances  asstime  any  kind  of  offioial  sponsorship  for 
your  year  book»  tut  I  wish  to  leave  you  in  no  doubt  of 
our  deep  sympathy  and  of  our  heartfelt  wishea  for  the 
suooess  of  your  important  undertaking»

A  great  deal  of  thought  h'-;s  been   plven  to   the  v  riou»  •E.^say*   whloh

Stephen  anl  myself,   and  the'/^eader'ln  cuestion  was  a 


HIß  firm  ha»  no^^  amclgaaated  ?dth  another,    somewhat  alterinr  the 
character  of  the  werk  he  couIj  consider,       Bein-;  a  friend  he  acc^onjp  nied 
hir   refusal  with  sorethinr  I  haa  asked  for  -  £;   cli^-r  report  of  his  personal 
impression  on  the  collection« 

Withcut  dep-ecir,ting  any  in  ividual  contribution  he  coTn?iented  upon 
frecuent  repetition-  wiiich,   in  individual  Essays  vrritten  ouite  Beparately, 
were  almost  in-^vitable.       Where  popsible  without  mutil^itin^-  ^iny  in:Ii\ridu^l 
work  I  had  reduced  these  considerably,   but  th-:re  reiroineQ  a  number-  which  he 
feit  inade  the  ?v!S.   as  a  whole   so^.ewhat  unsatlsfectory. 


He  further  expressed  the  view  that  the  intended  mo-re  or  less  cursory 
handlin^  of  the  subject  ^as  unfortunate  snd  that  the  background   to  Stephen^s 
life  as  regards  the  theological  and  mystical  thought  of  th^^  time  when  he 
made  his  literary  contributions,   and  also  the  outlook  on  penal  rnattars  when 
he  and  Fennen  BrocKway  published  their  repoH,   En:'lish  P-i3on3  To-day,    called 
for  a  more  intensive   study.       The  excellent  essay,    by  the  Vica-  of   t*h^  churc' 
in  Pitcombe,  kas  further  met  irith  a  criticism  that  its  reference   to   the  social 
conditions  at  the  ti^e  that  Stephen  m  de  his  deci?,ion  to  abandon  th^-  tradltion 
of  his  family  as  regards  property,    etc.,/^is  far  too  brief,    the  matte:^  beinf  of 
great  iaportance  when  ref erring  to   that  period  of  Stephen^  -  life,       H.  is 
true  that  these  criticisins   spring  from  the  natura  of  my  invitntion  to   the 
muthors,   which  was  siaply  to   supply  brief  essay?^  on  the  various  agpects  of 
Stephen«-  life  and  work,    the  knowledge  of  which  should  be  preserveu  in   r^ome 
literary  form, 

k  difficult  decision  nov,   confronts  me,  as  it  will  probibly  seem  best 
to  me  to  obtain  a  Single  author  who  vdll  proiuce       unifi  •;   book,   usinr   the 
▼aluable  material  in  the   «Essays»   as  the  besis  of  that  work  v.i.th   the  further

The  great  hesitation  in  my  mind  (and  I  knov:  in  the  min     o^:'  my

We  hope  it  never  entered  your  mind   that  we  were  not 
moved  enough   by  yo  .r  poems   to  answer  so  belatedly,      Quite   the 
opposite  is   the   truth. 

Rose  had   to   fight  a  cold  and  was,  after  absence  in 
school,   overburdened   there  vith  work.     I  hnd   to  attend,  along  with 
other   work,  FB|.Ö#flPiphCosifnonies   in  New  York  as    the  repräsentative 
of  the  American/Association.      But  pleaso  let  us  s*pp  further 
apologies. 

We  have  read  all  your  verses  aloud   to  each  other  and, 
then,    reac   ed  out   for  them,   each  of  us,    to   let    them  sii.k  in  again.      - 

What  a  tenderness  —  without  sentiaientalisB in 

listening  and   "misEing  the  little  sounds  which  sometiaies   teil  me 
that  in   the  room  above  ae  ycu  are  nioving"i     And   then   the  eplendor 
of  the  contrast  of   this   earthly   intimacy  with   the  deep  assuredneF.s 
of  an  intimacy  even  before   "the  M*lghtness  of  the  Eternal  Presence". 
Can  even  an  utterly  irreligious  mind  remain  untouched  by  this  warmth 
and  strength  of  true,   though   by  no  means  blind,   love? 

« 

What  a  power  of  affirmation  of  life  in   the  first  six 
lines  of  the  little  brochure! 

How  much  feeling  cind  subtle  Observation   in   "Sometimes 
I  feel   the  scholar   in  you  rise",    Tresence  in  Abseence'',    ^Mornl*g 
Starlight",    ''Seeing  a  hedgehog**! 

How  much  inner  rhythMi   truth  and  depth   in   ••  Mutuality**! 
And  so   I   could  go  down  to    the  handwritten   ^•On  board  The  Arcadia  *♦, 
but  I  must   leavc  some  space  for  Rore» 

In   reading  yo.r  verse  I  a.  nostolgically  rotninded  of 
Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning  in  your   tendome.s,   depth  of  feeling 
and   insi^ht;  and,  as   I  read  a_nd  reread  and  still  have  a  longing 
to   turn   to  your  little  typescript  pamphlet  again  from  time  to  time, 
I   vas  swept   back   to  our  iseeting  in   London  and  can  see  and  he.  r     your 
Impassioned    talk  with  nie  when   we  were  sitting  together  in   the 

reception  room  of  the  Cora  Hotel   last   August.  .^  a 

We  both  hope  we  may  tneet  ySö  liÄ*ltily,   as  you  said,  and 

meanwhile,  we  hope   this  finde  you  yor  usual  good  seif  in  health  and

Dear  ^osa  Hobhouse, 


Wärmest  thanks   for  your  v^ry   friendly 
letter.      I  am,    of  coursei   happy    that  you   see^n    to    think 
well   of  my  wife. 

But  I  am  sorry   to  see   that  yo_u   seem 
slightly   embarrassed  by    the  stress    I  placed  on  what  both 
of  you   have  done   for  Carola  and  me.     Yet,    1   cannot  help' 
xtMXxiKjcxtktx  urging  this   because   it   is    the   truth   and 
nothing  but    the   truth.      And  why  should  you   be   disturbed 
by    this?     Nevertheless,    if  you  are,   please   elirainate    this 
and  anything  eise  you   don't   like   in    the   enclosed  -^rticle. 

The  address   of   the   Dutch   publisher  you 
wished    to  hnve   is  simply:      E.   J.    Brill,    Leiden,    Holland. 


Affectionately  and  -  yes  - 
ever  so   gratefully, 


Your 


ßf 


P. 


The   following  day  after 
I  saw  you,    I   boarded   the  Queen  Mary/ 
for  my   return  home  and   found  David  not 
feeling  well,   but  we  hope  he   is  on   the 
mend  again,      On   the  restful  voyage  Westward 
I  could  again  relive   those  wellpacked   three 
hours  of   talk  with  you  of  deeply  warm  and 
keenly   feit  reminltecences  so   enriching  one's 
life.      I  was  glad  you   took  a   taxi   frorn   the 
Cora  Hotel   to  keep  your  next  appointment   in 
time*      I  hope  you  will   be  nble   to  send  us    the 
poems  you  spoke  of  and  which  you   mention   in  your 
letter,      With   fond  memories   and  affection  -

June  29,1961 

Dear  Friends: 

Priraarily,   I   should  be  very  grateful    to 

you   if  you  would  let  ice  know   in  a  line  how  you   are%      Since 
I   received  your  last  letter,    I  am  rather  disquieted  about 
your  health* 

I  hope  you  received  my   last   two   letters 
and  one  of  them   settled  all    the  questions   concerning  öeheim- 
rat  Bker  and   the  represen tation  of  homeopathy  at   the  University 
of  Berlin* 

Further,   may  I  a^k  you    today  only  whether 
my  wife  may  pay  you  a  short  Visit   for  aiflratxaaixkarax  not  more 
than  an  hour  on  August   7th  or  8th. 

She  will  sail   from  New  York  to   Burope  on 
July   12th  and  spend  a  few  weeks   in  Belgium  and  Holland, 
Please  do  not   feel  obliged   to  agree   to  a  Visit  under  any 
clrcumstances   if  you  do  not  feel  so   inclined. 

Kindly  let  us  know  only   in  a  line  whether 
these  days  would   be  convenient    to  you,   nnd   if  not,   we  would 
certainly  understaid  without  any   further  comnent. 

Unfortunately,    I   cannot  accompany  my  wife 

to   Europe  as    I   do   not  feel  well   enou^   for  a  trip  and  have 

urgent  work   to   complete  here.      But,   I,    too,    would  not  under 
any   circurastances  want   to  intrude. 

No  more   for   today,   only  our  wnrmest  wishesand 
regp.rds   to  you  and,   please,    to   Edna  when  you  see  her.

Yours   ever  gratefully. 


P.S.    The   testiraonial  volume  in   my 
honor  will,    I  learn,    appear   toward 
the  end  of  the  year.      The  contsact  with 
the  Publishing  house  E.J.Brill,   Leiden/Flolland 
and  Cologne,   was  s^igned   in  April.      The  publisher 
will  Start   to  print  your  kind  contributions   in 
the  very  near  future.

Dear   friend, 

I   imraediately  answer  your   inquiry   which  reached  me  only  a 
few  minutes  ago,   as  you  had  obviously  forgotten   to  put  airmail  on   the 
envelope* 

To    the  best  of  my  knowledge,   August   Bier  never   held  a  chair 

(Lehrstuhl)   of  homeophthy  and  there  was  no   chair   i.e.    "ordentliche  Pro- 
fessur"   (füll  professorship)of  this  kind  at   the  University  of  Berlin  before 
the  Nazi  regime.     Professor   Bier  held,    if   I  remember  rightly,    the  chair   of 
surgery  and,    as   you  know,   showed  marked  interest   in  homeopathy  —  a  fact 
which  was  much  noticed  by  his   friends  and  opponents   in   consequence  of  his 
influential  position  as    the  holder  of  a  chair   in    the  Faculty  of  Medicine- 

In   the   "Vorlesungsverzeichnis"    (Bulletin  or  Announcement  of 
Lectures)   offered  at   the   "Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität   zu   Berlin"   (now 
in  East  Berlin  —   I  am  now  a  retired   füll   professor  of   the  old  Friedrich- 
Wilhelms-Universitat,   now  callcd   "Humboldt-Universität"  named  after   its 
founder,    the   liberal  statesman  Wilhelm  von  Humboldt,    brother  of   the  famous 
author  of  Kosmos  Alexander  H,   — )    in    this   bulletin  1933/34   there  are   2 
lectures  by  Dr.    Bastanier  mentioned,    one  on    "theory  and  history  of  homeopathjj 
the  other  on    "homeopathy;    its   essence  and   place   in  medicine".    Dr.    Bastanier 
also   conducted  a  seminar  in  a  homeopathic    polyclinic,    a   "Universitätspoli- 
klinik".     But  Bastanier  was  not  a  member  of   the   faculty   of  medicine,   only 
a   "beanftragter   Dozent"   i.e.    "lecturer  appointed",   appointed  probably  by 
the  Government,   as    the  Nazi   Government  appointed  al'o,    at   the  same    time,    a 
lecturer  on   "Kriegschirurgie"   (War-surgery)/ 

As   to    the   term   "Priv.Counsellor",    I  uxxlxxxissxxsQcxKSKRXKgxxix 
think   it  is    the   title   "Geheimrat"  or    "Geheimer  Regierungsrat"  which  was   a 
title  often  given   to  university  professors  by   the   Imperial   Government  but 
KS  no   longer   by   the  Weimar  Republik.     August   Bier  was,    I   tbink,    such  a 
"Geheimrat".      In  fact,    I  am  pretty  certain   that  he  received   this    title  of 
honor   from   the  government  of  Kaiser  Wilhelm,    as  he  became  a  füll  professor 
before   the  beginning  of   the  Weimar  Republic;    and   this   would   be  a  perfect 
Solution  of   this  riddle,    too^   especially  as    there  were    "Geheime  Regierungs- 
räte" and    "Geheime  Hofräte"  in   the  19th   Century,    too.      ix^xt  I  have   just 
noticed   that  Muret-Sanders    translates    "Geheimrat"  as    "Privy  Councillor"  or 
"Right  Honourable".      So    I  hope  you  can   consider  all  your  questioned  settled. 

Wärmest   thanks,    above  all,    for  your  New  Poems.      Rose  and  I  are 

very  happy   to   own   the   fine   little  volume  with   its   exquisite  drawing  by  Edna. 

I   could  glance  as  yet  at  a   few  verses  only,    but  realized  again   that  you   are 

not  only  a  real   poetess   but  also  a  thinker.      Etidence  of   this   is    "I  mind  not 

Death"  or    "A  Portrait",    and   I  am  certain  many  more  of  your  poems  will  show 
th^is   balance  of   thought  and   feeling  which  makes    them  so  super ior   to  any 
sentimentalism.      And  rooted  so  firmly   in   the  soil  of  your  native  land  what 
an   intense  understanding  you   have  always  revealed   for   worlds   far  away  from 
your  own,    such  as  my  Habrew  background  or    that  of   "The  Bust  of  a  Roman  Woman^l 

Once  more,    my   wife*s   and  my  wärmest  gratitude  foryour  precious 
gtrf*  gift  and  warn>est  regards   to  you   both,     ^ours   ever  so  gratefbUy,

Mr«  David  Eaurngardt, 
The  Fleetwood, 
LONG  BEACH, 
New  York,  U.S.A* 

Dear  David  Baumgardt, 

I  am  sorry  that  your  last  two  letters  were  unacknowledged,  though  the 
fruits  of  your  research  conceming  Ceheirnrat  Bier  were  most  helpful.   The  truth 
is  that  through  last  year  vStephen  became  very  ill  and  for  a  good  many  months  I 
was  myself  able  to  nurse  him,  mo^^e  or  less  day  and  night.   Then  we  had  nurses, 
7/hich  from  one  point  of  view  did  not  help,  though  what  help  they  did  give  had 
becorae  a  necescity. 

Stephen  had  two  spells  in  hospital,  one  in  the  Homoeopathic  Hospital 
and  this  Spring  in  St.  Bartholomew's.   In  was  in  :^^  Parts,  on  Easter  morning 
that  he  died.   You  will  realise  that  he  had  often  thought  of  death  in  a 
welcoming  mood^because  of  his  frailty,  and  it  v/ould  indeed  have  been  an  act 
of  cruelty  to  hold  him  back.   He  was  in  hin  eightieth  year  and  had  suffered 
increasing  frailty,  but  apart  from  the  nine  rather  tragic  days  in  hospital 
he  was  able  to  face  thfsjf^bravely. 

Your  letter  of  June  29th  I  found  on  my  return  from  a  very 
delightful  cruise  to  Athens,  made  possible  by  Stephen* s  forethought.   As 
you  know,  he  would  virtually  not  spend  anything  on  himself,  and  he  had 
evidently  been  putting  by  against  the  day  when  I  would  be  alone,  should  I 
survive  him. 


As  to  your  wife^s  visit  here,  I  should  indeed  be  most  happy  to 
welcome  herj though  it  will  not  be  possible  for  her  to  enjoy  meeting  Stephen. 
Please  assure  her  that  she  has  only  to  write  giving  me  as  much  time  as 
possible  to  fix  a  day  for  a  visit,  and  I  could  give  her  hospitality  for  the 
night  if  she  cared  for  it. 


Naturally  it  would  have  been  a  great  pleasure  if  you  could  have 
accompanied  her^  but  do  not  let  her  hesitate  because  that  is  not  possible  tfL^ 
because  of  Stephen* s  death.   The  fact  that  she  is  your  wife  will  be   ^ 
suf ficient  for  me  to  welcome  her  warmly. 


Yours  sincerely.

weaknessj  though  I  have  been  ahle  to  get

Copy  of  letter  to  Stephen  Hobhouse 

April  28,  1959 

As    to  your  essay  on   the  mass  slaughter  of  animals   during  Passover 

in  Jerusalem  and  its   contrast   to  Jesus'  meal,   please  forgive  me  if  I  cannot 
^^1%  agree.      It  is,    I  beliar    e,   not  only  my  avowed  Jewishness   which 
sees  here  difi'iculties.     Is   far  as   I  know,^  the  timetof  Christ  seen   through 
the  eyes  of  impartial  historians,    the  orgies  of  revelling  in  wine  and   in 
the  fat  of  animals  must  have  j^||Sfixii£M^§^pl£ctically  all   the  rieh

^e  know  from 
^uke's  Gospel  that^at  the  age  pf 
twelve  the  boy  Jesus  werrt  up  with  f^t 
parents  to  Jerusalem  tQ  keep  the 
"Feast  of  the  Passover/'  We  are  told 
by  St.  John  of  three  other  Passovers 
when  He  was  in  Jerusalem.  This  Feast, 
celebrating  God's  miracdlous  de'iver- 
ance  of  Israel  from  capt'vity,  was  the 
Chief  occasion  of  family  and  Temple 
worship  for  the  Jews.  anü  we  mayjbe- 
sure  that  in  the  course  uf  His  lifc 
Jesus  meditated  often  on  its  character. 

In  so  far  as  the  Passover  ritual 
brought  families  and  groups  together 
in  humble,  thankful  worship,  it  must 
have  made  a  strong  appeal  to  One  who 
taught  above  all  eise  the  loving  Father- 
hood  of  God.  Nevertheless  there  were 
two  central  features  that  must  have 
repelled  Him.  For  it  commemorates  a 
deliverance  brought  about  by  a  ter- 
rible  pestilence,  when  Jehovah  (so  it 
was  said)  slew  the  first-born  males  in 
every  Egyptian  household;  while  a 
whole  Egyptian  army  perished  miser- 
ably  in  the  Red  Sea,  and  the  Hebrew^ 
women  danced  with  music  and  sing- 
ing;  Moses  himself  sung  a  song  of' 
exultation  and  revenge. 

Secondly,  the  central  act  of  the 
Feast  was  the  killing,  bleeding,  and 
eating  of  a  lamb  (or  sometimes  of  a 
kid)  under  conditions  that  must  have 
been  most  repulsive  to  sensitive  spirits. 
We  can  reconstruct  something  of  the 
horror  of  the  scene  from  the  pro- 
visions  of  the  Old  Testament  Law  and 
from  the/usually  trustworthy  narra- 
tion  of  the  Jewish  historian,  Josephus 
'TA.D.  38— c.  100).  The  representative 
of  every  household  must  bring  his 
lamb  to  the  Temple,  must  cut  its 
throat  and  assist  one  of  the  priests  to 
empty  out  all  its  blood  into  a  sacred 
bowl  in  which  the  blood  was  passed 
on  to  sprinkle  Jehovah's  altar  and  the 
white  robes  of  the  priest,  while  the 
residue  flowed  into  drains  which 
carried  it  away  into  foul  and  reeking 
tanks,  and  the  lamb's  carcas^  was' 
dfvided   up   between  the  worshippers 

and  the  priests,  andfthe  entrails  were 
taken  to  be  burnt  in  the  firesjof  the 
Gehenna  Valley.  We  are  told  that  al 
this|time  several  million  worshipper 
gathered  annually  at  the  Passover 
würeti  meant  that  at  least  200  0 
lambs  were  slaughtered  thus  within 
day  or  two.  In  what  a  horrible  con- 
dition  must  the  holy  city  have  been, 
and  how  Jesus  must  have  shrunk  from 
takmg  an  active  part  in  this  so-called 
Feast!

IT, 


»''***•— rc^books  of  the  Old  Testament, 
especially  Hosea  and  Isaiah,  there  is 
a  long  tradition  of  friendship  between 
men  and  the  animals — "the  very 
animals  shall  be  your  allies  and  the 
wild  beasts  your  friends*'  (Job  5,  23, 
in  Moffatt)^^ 

^*^.  This  tradition  of  friendship,  of  course  largely  legendary,  Starts  frorti 
Noah  and  his  animals  (cf.  Genesis  1,  29-31),  especially  the  dove  with  her  olive-Ieaf;  it 
goes  on  with  Balaam's  ass,  Elijah's  ravens,  the  "great  fish"  of  Jonah,  and  Daniel's  lions, 
leading  up  to  the  idyllic  prophecy  of  Isaiah  (1 1  and  65)  where  the  wolf  and  the  lamb  and 
the  rest  lie  down  and  feed  to^ether.  All  this  forms  a  series  of  pictures  which  were  no  dpubt 
in  the  mind  of  Jesus,  when  rfe  was  "with  the  wild  beasts  and  the  angels  ministered  to  Rim'* 
(Mark  1,  13),  and  again  when  hte  "cleansed"  the  Temple. 

Helen  Waddell  in  her  delightful  book  Beasts  and  Saints  has  collected  many  instances, 
of  which  some  at  least  must  be  authentic,  of  medieval  saints,  whose  presence  and  Christlike 
Personality  sufficed  to  make  beasts,  sometimes  even  the  wildest  of  beasts,  gentle  and  tarne

t  "I  will  have  mercy  and  not  sacrifice" 
says  God  in  Hosea,  quoted  twice  by 
Jesus.  When  therefore  by  a  symbolical 
act-tte  "cleansed"  the  Temple  imme- 
diately  before  the  Passover,  He  was 
not  only  thinking  of  the  sordid  human 
trafficking,  but  of  the  suffering  and 
frightened  animals  and  birds — doveSg 
lambs,  kids  and  oxen,  and  He  was 
looking  forward  to  the  day.  not  fifty 
years  later,  when,  with  the  destruction 
of  the  Temple  by  the  Roman  armies, 
th's  slaughter-house  traffic  would  be  a 
thing  of  the  past. 

Now  let  US  turn  to  the  meal  known 
as  the  "Last  Supper"  immediately 
before  the  trial  and  execution  of  the 
Lord.  First  we  notice  that,  although 
the  first  three  Evangelists  secm  to  have 
believed  that  the  meal  was  the  Pass- 
over meal,  there  is  no  mention  of  the 
lamb  and  the  bitter  herbs.  But  Jewish 
Rabbis  sometimes  held  as  a  prepara- 

'r 

tion  for  the  Passover  mcaL  a    solemn 
kind  of  scmi-fast.li . 
disciples  they   drank   fronTa   cup   o 
wine  and  water  and  atc  from  a  loaf  of 
unlcavcncd  brcad.

'^*^*\ii&,\ 


;  Luke  records  (22,  15)  how  Jofeus  spoke  of  the  eager  desire  with  which 
He  looked  forward  to  eating  the  Passover  withflis  apostles.  But,  as  there  are  good  reasons 
Tor  following  John  in  believing  that  the  "Last  Supper"- was  not  the  Passover,  we  must 
suppose  that  the  three  first  Evangelists,  looking  back  after  many  years,  confused  this 
preparatory  meal  with  the  Feast  to  which  they  had  been  accustomed  since  boyhood.

vJLd 


It  seemsjcertain  that  the  last  supper 
was  Hill» "l  meal  of  preparation.  St. 

,  Jo)xt\  certainly  thought  so,  for  he  ex- 
<!^essed  his  belief  that  it  was  held  on 
the  evening  hefore  the  Passover.  (See 
John  13,  1,  and  29;  also  19,  31).  If  so, 

I  we  must  ask  why  Jesus  deliberately 
avoided  celebrating  the  feast  in  the 
accustomed  way.  The  chief  reason  is 
surely  indicated,  when  John  records 
(1,  29)  the  words  of  the  Baptist: 
"Behold  the  Lamb  of  God  who  takes 
away  the  world's  sin."  This  is  in  har- 
mony  with  St.  Paul  (I  Corinthians 
5,  7):  "Christ,  our  Passover  (lamb)  ha«^ 
been  sacrificed  for  us."/The  Saviöur 

■4*U*Himself  to  be  taking  the  place  of 
the  slaughtered  lambs,  and  so  Ne 
chose  to  suffer  and  die  on  the  very  day 
when  the  rest  of  the  nation  (except  the 
few  who  had  shared  the  Supper  with 

Him)    were    killing    and    eating    the 

'Passover       "

^  His  act  of  love  in  dying  on  the 
cross  Christians  believe  that  in  some 
mysterious  way   He  was  bringing  de- 
liverance  from  sin,  and  so  healing  and 
happiness^  to    all    mankind.  But^fe 
loved   ynis     animal      creaturcs    and 
friends  too.  and  we  mmk  surely  bclicve 
that  He  died  to  save  them  as  well,  that 
is,  firstly  to  save  them  fröm  the  Whole- 
sale slaughter  to  which  the  Jewish  Law 
condemned  them.  In  this  slaughter  He 
will  take  no  part;  He  put  Himself  in 
their  place  and  by  so  doing  He  secured 
before    long    the    total    abolition    of 
animal     sacrifice     as     it     existed     in 
Judaism  and  in  other  religions  within 
the  Roman  world.

ELKIN  MATHEWS  &  MARROT 

direct  your  attention  to  a  volume  of 

POEMS 

by 

ROSA  WAUGH  HOBHOUSE 

"  Her  writing  is  sensitive  but  unforced, 
whether  she  trcats  öf  the  delicate  inter- 
change  of  human  feelings  or  of  the 
beauties  of  nature  in  many  moods  and 
places."— TiWj  Liter ary  Supplement. 

"  Forestall  not  love, 
The  moment  of  its  Coming 
Will  be  the  more  divine; 
The  hiv^d  bees  wait  to  begin  their 

humming 
Until  the  warm  days  shine."

für   nlle   Gegenergurriente   f^egcn  Sie. Könnte   man   deshalb  vielleicht   die  Er- 
schütterung der  Glaubwürdi^c^keit  HuniDhrey  Newtons  noch  mehr  betonen? 
S.22  Das   Interesse   für  Alchemie  war   sicher  damals   allgemein. Aber   ebeso 
sicher   ist   doch^dass   nicht    jeder  Gebildete   alchimistische  Experimente 
machte, und   doss   selbst   von  den  Experimentlerenden  nicht   jeder  überzeugt 
wer, das   Goldmabhen   sei    tatsächlich  möglich, -etwa  wie   es   heute  mit  dem 
Spiritismus   steht. Es   tut   mir   sehr  leid, da sr^    ich  meine  Erstausgabe   des 
Ap:rippa  von  Nettesheim:de    incertitudine   et  vanitate    sclentiarum  1927 
noch   in  Berlin  bei  meinen   Büchern  habe.Agriope   ist   zwar  z.T. ein  Gharla- 
tan  und  wie  Agricola  150  Jahre   älter  als  Newton, aber  er   gibt  meiner  Mei- 
nung nach  gute  Stimmungsbilder   zur  Skepsis  über  die   Erfolge   der  Alchimif, 
wie    sie    euch  für  die    spätere   ieit  noch   charakteristisch  sind. 
S.PAieuoh  ich  finde, die   von   Ihnen   aufgezeigten  Oedächtnl  stäuschungen 
Plumphrey  Newtons  um  162?   sind  ein  viel   zu   schwankender   Grund, um  darauf 
die    sehr   gewagte   Hypothese   zu  stützen, dass  Newton  Böhme   ausgiebig  als 
Alchimist   studierte   und  als  Physiker   von  ihm  beeinflusst   ist. 
S.'^6-27:  sind, wie    ich  glaube    gerade    in   ihrer  Darstellungsart   sehr  über- 
zeugend. Ich  bitte   Sie  nur  vielmals, auf  S.27  die  ersten  6  Zeilen  auszu- 
laMen.Denn  das  A^ priori   ist  bei   Galilei  und  Descartes   nicht "semimy st  1- 
cal   or  metaohysical^.Auch  Bacon  wird  heute   von  allen  besseren  Philosophie- 
historikern mit  Recht  nicht  mehr  als  eigentlicher   Inspirator  Newtons  en- 
ge sehen. Es   genügt  hier  völlig  zu   sagen:Newton   zog  eine   besonders   klare 
und   strenge   Trennungslinie   zwischen... 

Auf  S. 28-50  finde   ich  es   sehr  über zeugend, wie   3ie    die  Annahas  abwehren 
flls   seien  aether  or  aetherial    splrits   selbstverständlich  mystosche  Natur- 
gelstcr.Wie   leichtferlg  ist   da  Popp  S.84  mit  der  Behauptung, dass  Nw^;7ton 
selbst   in   seiner  mechanischen  Hypothese  von  der  Ursache   der  Gravitation 
nicht  von   den  Eigenschaften  der  Naturgeister  Böhmes   losgekommen  wäret 

Vielleicht  wäre  hier  schon  eine  kleine  Anmerkung  über  die  vorschnelle 
Kombinierungssucht  Poppe  im  Gegensatz  zu  ihren  klaren  I^arlegungen  sehr 
illustrativ. 

S.30:Hans  Kayser  kenne    ich  oersönlich  ganz  gut. Ein  sehr  netter  Mensch, 
aber   selbst   seine   besten  arischen  Duzfreunde  können  ihn   nicht  als   genü- 
gend urteilsfähig  in  Sachen  der  Mystik  ansehen--trotz   seiner  weitver- 
breiteten  populären  Bdltionem  von  Böhme   und  Paracelsus. "Rather  dry  histo- 
rioal   symbolism", damit   chrakterisieren  Sie  offenbar  unendlich  viel  besser 
als  Popp  und  Kayser  mit  Ihrer^reinen  Mystik**. 

S.52:Auseinander8etzung  über  Henry  Höre  und  Symes  würden  ^ier, glaube   ich, 
viel  mehr  stören  als  aufhellen  und   sind   sicher  entbehrlich. Warum  Sie 
Popp* 8  Luftkonstruktionen  über  More  nicht  folgen, lässt   sich   ja  besser 
noch  im  Postscriptum  sagen.

tut   solchen  Menschen  keinen  Freunde sdie   st  damit, vrenn  msn  ihren  Ver- 
nebelungen    licht  klaren   geistigen  Widerstand  entgegensetzt. 
Und  dozu  ist  hier  leider  Schritt  für  Schritt  Anlese. So  z.B.   In  der 
Frage  Oetln{öer,aen  ich  ganz  gut  kenne»v.ie  kann  man  bei  Oetinger  von 
"der  Gründlochkeit  des  deutschen    'hilosophen"in  einer    ohilosovhiehisto-

das  ist  vrirklich  nur     nlt  etwa  folgender  Behauptung  zu  verg4*ichen:

Oder  S. 67. Bei  Öetinf^r  findet   sich  eine  ähnllche'Venenrung  von  Physik

Ich  glaube   Sie    sind  da  noch  viel  zu  höflich,-  oun  3ie  --opp  zugeben, e« 
sei   allerdings  bedeutsam.dass  Low  und   Oetinfer  zur   selben  ^it  und 
unabhängig  voneinander  "e-ton  :ilt  Böhme   in   Zusammenhang  bringen, Law

Ll«b«r  St«ph«n,   wir  sind   Imratr  wieder  beschämt  und   sehr  traurig, 
dass  uns  die   Rückse-^dung  Ihres  Manuskripts  erst   so   spät  möglich  gewor- 
den   Ist .Aber  nun  ist  es  wenigstens  fertig  getippt, und   ich  habe  es 
noch  elnniBl  ganz  von  vorn   durchgesehen. 

S.?  8;Z.5:würde   ich  hl  :ter"Nature''sagen"which  is  e*t«4ifc|Fy  certainly 
a  very  allen   Intrusion"   und  den  Schluss  dieses  Satzes  fortlassen, weil 
der   Historiker  doch  schliesslich  r.ichts   ignorieren  soll. 
S.4ff:wäre  es  nicht  besser  bei  dem  Brief  Law» 8  and  Dr.Cheyne  noch 
ausär;ckXich   zu  erwähnen, dass  Si\  ihn  nicht  aui^^lton  oder"the    gentle- 
nian's'aiagozin"zitieren, sondern  aus  einer  HandsohrV*  und  deshalb  voll- 
ständiger als  bisher  (d.h. mit  dera  Zusatz"!  am  in   too  much  haste",   der 
vielleicht  nicht  uncharakteristisch  ist. Denn   diesen  Zusatz  haben  Sie 
doch  anscheinend  Inzwischen  in  einem  Ms.   gefunden. 
S.«,Z.30:für  die  nhilosophla  wäre   hier  der  Hinweis  auf  Ihre    spätere 
'r^ublikation  über  Law  notwendig, oder  Sie  könnten  diesen  Satz  auslassen. 

S.7,Z.l6:statt"rather  cohfused  exoressions"wäre¥  vielleicht  besser 
oder  vielmehr  genauer  chrakterisierend   zu  sagen.^typisch  metaphorische 
und   vage  Öeschreibungen",      ^^^  ^..^ 
S.7-10:ich  glaube, alle   die«  Böhne-Zitate   sind  nützlich. Es  brauchte 

keines   ge*trichen  zu  werden. 

S.lOtweitere  Erklärungen  der  Begriffe   "herb"   und"Bitter"   sind  hier  si- 

eher  nicht  nötig. 

S.lltOontractlon  nni  kann  man  so  mit  Attraktion, BHsaaa  Expansion  mit 
Hepu3Jsd.4n  zusammenstellen ;und  auch  wenn  Sie  dann  von   zentrifugaler 
Kraft   statt  von  expansiver  und  repulsiver  Kraft  reden, bedarf  das 
meiner  '.leinung  nach  keines  weiteren  Kommentars. 

S.l2ff;hier  würde   ich  auch  Jetzt  noch  gemdas  Urteil  eines  lewton 
Biogranhen  und    'hysikers  wie   Professor  Mo»es  hören, ob  er  die  Art, wie 
Sie   sich  Newton  zurecht legen. noch  für  rechtfertigbar  hält. Die  Seiten 
über  Blondel  bat   ich  Carola  mitzutippen.Ich  fürchte   dieser  Exkurs 
könnte   zu  weit  führen;ich  würde   aber  auch  diese  Frage   lieber  Professor 
More   zur  Entscheidung  vorlegen, ob  er  den  Exkurs  historisch  und  iachlicl 
für  wesentlich  und  aufklärend  genug  hält. -«Circular"  wird  in  meinem 
Lexikon  nicht  nur  mit'  rund",  sondern  auch  mifgleichmässig  wiederkeh- 
redd"über£etzt, würde   bTb*  also  auf  die  Planetenbewegung     in  diesem 

zweiten  Sinn  durchaus  passen. 

S.l?:welches  sind  die   Gründe  weshalb  Sie   Oailtiei  Galileo  Galilei 
nur  mit   seinem  ""'ornamen  Galileo,  nennen? 

S.15  a: Oldenburg  ist  übrigens  besonders  bekannt  durch  seinen  Brief- 
wechsel mit  Spinoza.Aber  das  ist  wohl  für  Sie  nicht  erwähnenswert 
genug?Die  Erwähnung  Oldenbergs  überhaupt  würde    ich  nicht   streichen. 
S.15iich  würde  in  den  letzten  beiden  Zeilen  die  zu  ironisch  klingende 
Wendung^the  misterftdu«  oracles  ofweglassen. 

S.16:das  Plutarch-Heraklit-Empedoklei  Zitat  Hesse   sich  wohl  gut  als 
Anmerkung  zu  8.16  verwerten. Aber  wenn  Sie  es  da  nicht  wollem.lässt  es 
sich   ^a  leicht  wieder  durchstreichen.

S,53ff :    finde   loh  to   sehr  verältnetvoll^deßs  Sie   die  Lehr«  vom 
ründenfoll  der  f^anzen  Notar, auch  der  Sterne  und  Planeten  in  ihrer 
grundlegenden  Bedeutung  für  Böhmes  üaturlehre   gebührend  ans  Lioht 
rücken. Dlee  ist   ja  bei  allen  den  Konstrukteuren  der  Beeinflussung  ^^ 

Newtons  durch  Böhme    ganz  unter  den  Tisch  gefallen. Und  rnlt  dieser 
Lehre  vom  Sündenfall   tritt  Böhme  natürlich, wie   Baader   sehr  richtig 
sah, in  einen   scharfen  §egen8atz  zu   Jeder  in  sich  geschlossenen, na« 
turalistischen,empiristisoh  mathematischen  Physik. Ich  glaube^ihier 
ist  keine  Modifikation  an  Ihrem  Text  mehr  nötig. Und  auch^  ärgere   mieh 
genau  wie  Sie, wenn  man  den^Materialismus  moderier  Spiritisten"  mys^ 

tisch  nennt. 

S.56:Newtons  Leugnung, dass   Gott  die   Seele   der  Welt   sei, finde    ich  von 

Ihnen  mit  Recht  besonders  energischi^  verwertet. 

Und  nun  Ihr  Postscriotum  über  Popp.   Er  ist  offenbar, 
rie   ich  schon  nus   niehreren  Eigenheiten   sei  ^ec   Deutsch  annehme, ein 
Junper  Mensch;ellem  Anschein  nach-- aus   der  häufiren  Zitierungs  Möller 
van  den    Drucks   zue   schliessen — ein  idealistischer  Nazi  d.h.ei-ier  von 
Jenen  Tausenden  gutprtip-er  Tufrendli eher, die  nicht  nur  Newton  an  Böhm^ 
sondern   auch  Hitler   and   Christus  heranrücken, und  die  es^  dann  als  ein- 
seltif^en  i^ational Ismus  empf Anden, wenn  man  Belege   dafür  bringt, dass 
der  Nationalsozialismus  reicht  der  neuste   seelische  Ausdruck** germanisch 
(nordischer)W«ltanschauung  ist(s.S.88)sondern   der  Rückfall  in  urältes- 
te  asiatische   Tyrannis  und  Militärstaaterei. Deshalb   plaube    ich, man 
tut   solchen  Menschen  keinen   Freundesdierst  damit, we^m  man  ihren  Ver- 
nebelunren  nicht  klaren   geistigen  Widerstand  entgegensetzt. 
Und  dazu  ist  hier  leider  Schritt   für  Schritt  Anläse. So   z.B.    in  der 
Frage   Oetln^er,den  ich  ganz  gut  kenne. Wie  kann  man  bei   üetinger  von 
'^der  Gründlochkeit  des  deutschen  Philo  so  phen'^in  einer   philosophiehisto- 
rischen Frage  reden. (S.68)0etinger  sagt(slehe  Popp  S.72:ei  .ige   haben 
die  Massam  durch  seine   Geschwindigkeit  multipliziert^wie  Hewton..   wenn 
-ir  nun  in  Ansehung  der  ursor^nf^lichen  Kräfte  Newtons  und  Böhms  Philo- 
sophie ver/^elichen^so  nutzt    jene   Ber*chnung  nicht  viel^aber  Newtons 
zentraliFche   Kräfte,7/elche  ar  mit  J.Böhra  gemein  hat^nuzeii  sehr  viel" 
das  ist  wirklich  nur     mit  etwa  folgender  Behauptung  zu  vergleichen: 
Shakespeare' s  Sprache   und    seine   geniale  Psychologie    sei  nicht  wichtig, 
nur  der  Stoff  der  Handlung  sei   selbstverständlich  das  Bedeutungsvollst! 
in  seiren  Dramen; und  diesen  Stoff  habe   er   Jeweils  aus  dem  oder    Jenen 
Geschichtenbuch  entnommen. 

Oder  S.67.Bei  Öetin^r  findet    sich  eine   ähnliche'Termengung  von  Physik 
und  Theologie'^wie  bei  Newton.  D  ann  ist  es  nur   seltsam^dass  wirklich 
kein  Mensch  auf  den   Gedanken  kommen  kann^auch  von  Oetinger  in  einem 
Lehrbuch  der  Physik  zu   sprechen. 

Ich  glaube  Sie    sind  da  noch  viel   zu  höflich,''enn  Sie  Popp  zugeben, es 
sei   allerdings  bedeutsam, dass  Law  und  Oetinger  zur   selben  2.elt  und 
unabhängig  voneinander  rie^^ton  mit  Böhme   in  Zusammenhang  bringen|Law 
und  Oetinger  hatten  eben  bestimmt  für  eine  blosse   beschichte   der  rhilo 
Sophie   und  Naturwissenschaft  kei     Interesse, sonder ^   sie  waren  Mystiker 
Und  Mystiker  hatten  früher   (u, z.T. auch  he  ite  noch  z.B. in  Irfreundungen 
mit  Einstein  u.s.w.  )eln  sehr  weites  Gkiwissentich  erinnere  mich|noch

in  cer   LJ.ttratur  des  18. Jahrhunderte  mancherlei  über  ÄTiBaramenstellung 
von  Ilosee  und  Konfuzius  und  natürlich  von  Moses  und  dem  Weuplatonismuf 
als   Glieder  einer   strengen  mystischen  Tradition  gelegen   zu  haben.Denn 
'•leicht  beieinender  v/ohnen  die   Gedanken; doch  hört   im  Kaunie    etoisen 
sich  die  Sachen|nämlich  hier  die  mathematischen  Gleichungen. 
Und   Oetinper  brihgt   Ja (siehe  Popp  S.70)Newtons  Raumlehre   nicht  nur 
'lit  Böhrae,  sondern   auch  mit  Psalm  90  und  Psalm  150   in   Verbindung, 
Daraufhin  dürfte  man  also  behaupten^dass  dle^allerirrationalste^aller- 
rationalste.  •p:ermanißche (nordischer )Weltanschauung"schlie88lich  we« 
sentlich  remitisch- Jüdisch  sei. Aber   so  wenig  ich  eine    solche  i^olge-^ 
rung  ziehen  ^ürdc^so  wenip  kann   ich  bei  Popp's  Luftsprüngen  mittun, 

(Verr:leichen   Sie    z,B,nur   die   folgende  i   Geda  ikenverrenkun.c-en 
S,39*f  More   verwarf  die   Neturgeister  Böhmes^Aber  s;39ff ::iore    s;)richt 
von  einer  gesitigen  Substanz.   S*41:Also  auch  bei  More   wirkt  dieser 
"spirit  of  nature"--   "mit  den  Eigenschaf ts-i  der  ersten  drei   i^atur- 
geister  :'acob  Böhmes«  'Oder  S#42:More   rückt    später  von  seiner  Be- 
geisterung für  Descartes  ab»**Sollte  nicht   der  Einfluss  Böhmes   der 
Grund  dafür   sein?   Ja: ''Die  Ahnlichkelf'zwif^ohen  Böhme   und  More   „Ist 
-fticht   zu  leuf2:nen", v/eil — bei  beiden  Gott   der  letzte    Grund  der  Gravi- 
tation  ist. Aber  das  v/ürde    auch  Lescartes  nicht  leugnen  unter  Bezug- 
nahme  auf  seine   ellmächtige   göttliche   Substanz. 

loh  fände  es   deshalb   schade, Trenn  .^lan  Ihr  ?ostscriptum  möglicherweise 
so   aicscleuten  könnte, dass   Sie   eben  nur  auf  ei   e:a  anderen  Standpunkt 
stünden   als  Popp.Deshalb  rürde   ich  ein   paar  direkte  Begründungen, 
warum  die  Thesen  Poppe  ob,^ektiv  so  brüchig  sind, hier   für   sehr  nütz- 
lich halten. Und   auch   in  der  Einleitung  würde, wie   ich   Ihnen   schon  das 
letzte   nial   vorschlagen  ^wllte, irgend  eine   Bezugnahme   auf  l'opp  und 
seine   allgemeinen  Weltanschaui^ngszusammenhänge   sehr  brauchbar  sein. 
Sie   brauchten   Ja   dann  im  P.S. nur  zu  s£gen|das»  alle  Heu£targumen tat  Io- 
nen  Ihrer  Abhandlung  schon  vor  der  ^ektüre    . opps  fixiert  waren. 

Im  übrigen  eilt  es  nicht  mit  dem  Ablieferungstermin  für  die 
Philosophie  .Denn  das  ErscJJeinen  des  l.Kefts  verzögert   sich  anficheinend 
länger, als   loon  ursprünglich  dachte  ;und  auch  in  der  zveiten  -aimmer 
wäre   es    Ja  gev/iss  nicht   zu  r.pät   für  Ilire  Veröffentlichung. 
Und  nun  habe    ich  hoffentlich  keine    Ihrer  Anfragen  übersehen. Sollte   des 
aber  der  Fall   sein,  so  bäte  ich  Sie   violmals  mir  des  noch  .ditzuteilen. 

Mit  den   herzlichsten   Grüssen, bitte    auch   an  Rosa,vo     Carola  und  mir

es  wdre  wohl  viel   -nehr  zu  emofehle n^iri  Anfang  ein   paar  kurze  Sätze   zuzufü- 
gen,etwe   in   folffiender  Form:    Die   Frage, war  Newton  durch  Böhme  beeinflusst, 
ist   neuderdings  :nehrfach  ausführlich  ventiliert  worden.    Und  man  hat  aus 
der  positiven  Beantwortung  weitgehende   Folgerungen   ziehen  wollaaies   sei 
eben  eine'^Grundeigentümlichkftit  der  germanischenfnordischen^V/altanschau- 
ung",d8ss  hier   in   der  üegel  wie   bei  Newton   "des  Allcrrationa^ste   nus  dem 
Allerirrationelsten   geboren  Ist*'*   Es   sei  hier  deshalb   -ochi^ials  kurz  ge- 
ptüft:knnn  auf  Grund  der  vorliegenden   Tnt Sachen  und  Schriften  ernsthaft 
eine    solche   Beeinflussung  ^^ewtons  angenoiomefc  werdenpbevor  solche  Schlüsee 
daraus    gezo^n  werden  können?  Die   These, ^^ewton   sein   in  entscheidenden 
Grundmotiven  sei  er  Forschungen   von  BöhiTie   abhängig, stützt  sich   zunächst 
besonders  auf  Aussagen   des  .Mystikers  und  Böhme -Anhänger  8  Law  und  do  weiter. 
7?enn  Sie   den  Brief , der  auf  Seite   »  erwähnt   ist, oder  etwas  daiait  Zusrim.aen- 
hängcndes   noch   im  Original   finden  können, wäre   es    eehr   schön.Aber  die 
Verwertung  dieser  Dokumente  hat  natttrkich  bis   zu  einer  späteren  Veröffent- 
lichung Zeit.   Und   auf  S.7-10   sind  euch  sonst  :neiner  i.leinung  nach  keine 
dringliche     Ergänzungen  nötige        S.10:Ich  de  :k^.,e8   ist  gut, die   3  Nwwtoni- 
schen   Gesetze  wörtlich  zu  5tt#b^.Aber  S.ll  würde    ich  etwas  anders  fassen. 
Ich  würde  be  tonen, dass  alle   die    chemischen  und    reelischen  .Merkmale, die   für 
Böh:nes  erst   3  Gestalten  besonders   grundlegend   sind,lrt  Newtons  Formeln 
radikal   ausgeschaltet  werden, und   dasp  die   rein   physikalischen  Bestimmun- 
gen,die   hier  vorliegen,  nur  einen   völlig  vagen  Anklang  an    einige   allgeiaeine 
naturphlloEoohische  Vorstellunger.  enthalten, sodass  hier  nicht  der  der         _, 
geringste  Hückschluss   auf   Irgend  eine  Verwandtschaft   c^rade   mit  den  Vor- 
stellu-igei  Böhraes  erlaubt   Ist.   All.s  was  hi.r  an  exakten, orlg^nnlen 
Aussagen   zu  finden   Ist, hat   gar  nichts  :nlt  Böhme   zu  tun. 
A^er  hier  u. betreffs  i.l'^f  w?ire   auch  Ich  sehr  dankbar, die  lleinung  eines 
Kewton-Biofrraphen  und  Physikers  wie  Tiore   zu  h^ren, obwohl   es  mir  kaum  vor- 
stellbsr   ist,dREs   er  das  Ganze  wesentliah  anders  beurteilen   kann. 
Die   Zusammenhänge   zwischen   repulsioms-und  expanslon  brauchten, wie   ich 
glaube, nicht  weiter  koirmentiert   zu  werden. 

EmTDedocles  und  tlelrklit  finde    ich  sehr  glücklich  von   Ih  en  verwertet. Die 
Erwähnung  von  Fracastoro  und   Cnrdanus   ist   natürlich   nicht  nötigeich  kannte 
Ihnen  h*^chstens  noch  ein   naar  allgemeinere  Bemerkungen  hier  vorschlagen.
