Excerpt from The Philosophy of History, Vol. 2 of 2: In a Course of Lectures, Delivered at Vienna Doubtless the philosophy of history forms an essential part of the science of divine and human things - things which in the mode of conceiving or treating them, should be rarely and even never entirely separated. For how is it possible to attain to a just and correct know ledge of human things, in any department of life and science, unless they be viewed in rela tion to and connection with the divine principle, which animates or directs them? A certain me dium, however, is to be observed, and the limits must be clearly and accurately traced between divine and human things, lest the one depart ment should be confounded with the other. For as it is very prejudicial to religion to make it merely a matter of learned historical research so it is inconsistent with the object of historical philosophy to transform it into a mere series of religious meditations. Undoubtedly historical philosophy can and ought to assume the divine principle in man - the divine image implanted in the human breast as the great pivot of hpman destiny, the main and essential point in universal history, and the restoration of that Image as the proper purpose of mankind.
