We bid you, then, who are priests in the realm of nature, to press on your labors with all vigor. See to it that mankind is not forever mocked by a philosophy empty, superficial, false, and uselessly subtle. Your heritage is this fair Spartan; in return with fair equipment, and by making a strict examination of both the facts and opinions concerning down, set an example, as you probably know, to politicians and theologians. He was right who said that a contentious philosophy is the parent of a contentious theology: we must therefore say it once and plainly about Politics at the main political theories I wish the present rulers of the world support themselves are treacherous quagmires in the real causes of the generally tottering and indeed collapsing condition of the world. It is for you to show that errors are no more to be tolerated, even though they have the authority of long tradition in our drawn from Adam himself; you must show, not only to theologians, but to the politicians themselves, but everything must be called back to Urim and Thummim, I mean two Light and Truth. - Amos Komensky (Comenius) 1592 - 1670, in The Way of Light, Amsterdam, 1668
