This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order.

We know only a single science, the science of history. History can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. However, the two sides are not to be divided off as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.
