"It is the mark of the cultured man that he is aware of the fact that equality is an ethical and not a biological principle"

The fear of speculation, the ostensible rush from the theoretical to the practical, brings about the same shallowness in action that it does in knowledge. It is by studying a strictly theoretical philosophy that we become most acquainted with Ideas, and only Ideas provide action with vigour and ethical meaning.

— Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
