Oskar Rönngren
Oskar Rönngren is on page 169 of 306 of Rights of Man
Part two of Paines "Rights of Man".

Part one was more or less just a critique of Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France".

One thing that took me by surprise is that Paine characterized the Germanic origin of the English monarch as Despotism. He didn't believe that a German would be loyal to the people of Great Britain.

Oskar Rönngren is on page 21 of 82 of Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life
"A quote from Goethe comes to mind as particularly illustrative: 'Colour is a law of nature in relation with the sense of sight.' By analogy we might say with Spengler that culture is s law of nature in relation with human minds (the plural is an important qualification here)."
