Note 12 Quotes

“To create a new culture does not simply mean to individually make "original" discoveries, it means also and especially to critically diffuse truths already discovered, to "socialise" them as it were, and thus to make them become the basis of vital actions, an element of coordination and of intellectual and moral order. That a mass of human beings is led to think coherently and in a unitary way what is really present is a "philosophical" fact much more important and "original" than the recovery, on the part of a philosophical "genius", of a new truth that remains the patrimony of small intellectual groups.”
