The New Man

THE NEW MAN

"The new man is still evolving. Indeed, he is not yet visible to everyone, for he does not come from the noisy center which constantly attracts the attention of the crowd, but from the quiet periphery. Every force that is destined to topple an age which has run its course comes from the periphery of that age with all its values and pseudo-values. It is in the moments of great crisis in the emergence of the new that the 'outsiders' take on their special function of forming the nucleus of a new center around which the coming world will henceforth order itself."

E. Gunther Grundel, From Die Sendung der jungen Generation, Munich, 1933,
