It would none the less be wholly out of place to render the German philosophers of the past responsible for the use which is now being made of their doctrines. The same thoughts, said Pascal, do not always grow and develop in others as they do in their creator. Though the categorical imperative of Kant is at the present time advanced as proof that cruelty ceases to be cruelty when practised on behalf of German discipline, manifestly a like misinterpretation of his ideas cannot be imputed to Kant himself.
