Should there not be manifest progress and development but in a higher sense than people have imagined it? ... No one is in his age alone, he builds on the preceding one, this becomes nothing but the foundation of the future, wants to be nothing but that - this is what we are told by the analogy in nature, God's speaking exemplary model in all works! Manifestly so in the human species! (Johann Gottfried Herder)
