Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patriotism, National and International an Essay The only just and rational principle of differentia tion which will accord with the modern political and moral convictions of civilised peoples is educa tion, or rather the manifest and directly active results of education. But we must at once make it clear, that such education does not mean learning. For, apart from our a priori reasons on the effect of science and learning by themselves as a direct preparation for social and political activity, our recent experience in respect of the German nation and the political influence of its learned professors shows the futility of such training in ensuring political judgment and independence of action. Moreover, the results of stereotyped and fossilised learning and its tests, as applied to the active political life of the Chinese Empire, give the same warning in this direction.
