Synopsis
Excerpt from Der Grosse Mensch der Renaissance: Inaugural-Dissertation
Tief in der Seele des Menschen wurzelt ein Gefuhl Natur und der Bewunderung und Verehrung fur das Grosse und Mens°h' Gewaltige in der Natur. Die naive Phantasie, welche die Natur mit menschenähnlichen Wesen belebt, sieht in den wilden Steinmassen, den brausenden Meereswogen, dem heulenden Sturm und dem grollenden Donner den Ausdruck jener menschlich-göttlichen Wesen, denen er seine ersten Gebete darbringt. Und indem der Mensch zu der Erkenntnis kommt, dass es Mächte in der Natur gibt, denen er hilflos gegenübersteht, die ihm nützen oder schaden, ihn erfreuen oder zerschmettern können, da wird er von Furcht und Bewunderung ergriffen; in Ehrfurcht neigt er sein Haupt und betet das Grosse, das Erhabene an.
