“Our women have no influence in public affairs,” I said, quietly, after a moment.
“They haven’t? Is it possible? But didn’t I understand you to imply just now that your women were better educated than your men?”
“Well, I suppose that, taking all sorts and conditions among us, the women are as a rule better schooled, if not better educated.”
“Then, apart from the schooling, they are not more cultivated?”
“In a sense you might say they were. They certainly go in for a lot of things: art and music, and Browning and the drama, and foreign travel and psychology, and political economy and Heaven knows what all. They have more leisure for it; they have all the leisure there is, in fact; our young men have to go into business. I suppose you may say our women are more cultivated than our men; yes, I think there’s no questioning that. They are the great readers among us. We poor devils of authors would be badly off if it were not for our women. In fact, no author could make a reputation among us without them. American literature exists because American women appreciate it and love it.”

-- William Dean Howells, A Traveler from Altruria

A quotation from Thomas More

But doubtless Plato was right in foreseeing that unless kings became philosophical themselves, they would never take the advice of real philosophers, drenched as they are and infected with false values from boyhood on.
 
[Sed bene haud dubie praeuidit Plato, nisi reges philosophentur ipsi, nunquam futurum, ut peruersis opinionibus a pueris imbuti, atque infecti penitus philosophantium comprobent consilia.]

Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, Book 1, ch. 1 “Discourses of Raphael Hythloday” (1518 ed.) [tr. Adams (1992 ed.)]

Last Night

Last night, I dreamed of a world where the heart had won a total victory over the ego... The world's leaders were no longer narcissistic...

Immerhin einen Zug bekommen der fährt😹 und nicht im nirgendwo gestrandet....

Aber schauen wir positiv in die Zukunft: wenn dereinst die Kinder die jetzt im Kindergarten sind, ihrerseits Kinder haben werden und diese dann groß sind, dann werden sie in einem Bahnschlaraffenland leben: pünktliche Züge im Stundentakt, Anbindung auch ländlicher Regionen und das alles zu günstigen Preisen, am Ende sogar kostenlos?

Gustav Landauer (Karlsruhe, 7 de abril de 1870 - Múnich, 2 de mayo de 1919) fue un teórico anarquista, escritor, traductor y filósofo judeoalemán.
Nació en Alemania en una familia judía pequeño burguesa. Landauer era el segundo hijo de un zapatero judío de Karlsruhe, donde comenzó sus estudios, que abarcaron filosofía, lengua alemana e historia del arte en Heidelberg, Estrasburgo, y Berlín. En 1893 tuvo que abandonar sus estudios y trabajó como periodista independiente y orador.
En su pensamiento filosófico se encuentran influencias de Spinoza, Ibsen, Nietzsche, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, León Tolstói, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, además de los clásicos del anarquismo europeo (Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin). La obra de Landauer, a su vez, influenció profundamente el pensamiento de Martin Buber, autor de Caminos de utopía.

A quotation from Thomas More

   Will thou know what wonders strange be in the land that late was found?
   Will thou learn thy life to lead, by divers ways that godly be?
   Will thou of virtue and vice understand the very ground?
   Will thou see this wretched world, how full it is of vanity?
 
[Vis nova monstra, novo dudum nunc orbe reperto?
   Vivendi varia uis ratione modos?
Vis qui virtutum fontes, vis unde malorum
   Principia? et quantum rebus inane latet?]

Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, “A Meter of Four Verses in the Utopian Tongue,” “Cornelius Graphey to the Reader” (1516 ed.) [tr. Open Utopia (Duncombe) (2012)]
