	Coleridge - On the Constitution of the State and Church. Through a combination of leadership and educing (Fichte’s terminology was translated as summoning, but had similar connotations), the ‘latent man’ would emerge from his former bestial and sub-human state. John Dunn
	Quote every hour: The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people. Ezra Pound
	Coleridge, Vico and Gentile There are echoes of Fichte and Coleridge in the shift from a Spinozist left radicalism to the political right.
