Summary "Gems (?) of German Thought" by William Archer is a collection of philosophical and nationalistic excerpts reflecting the mindset of Germany during the early 20th century, likely written in the late 19th century to early 20th century. This anthology aims to present a broad representation of German intellectual thought, particularly in the context of World War I and the nation’s aspirations for dominance. The text emphasizes themes of self-glorification, militarism, and cultural superiority, echoing a nationalistic fervor that pervaded German society at the time. The opening of the anthology provides insights into Archer's compilation process and sets the ideological framework for the selected passages. It reveals his critique of the German spirit’s arrogance and ambition while acknowledging the lack of a systematic approach in his anthology. He describes an overwhelming tone of self-laudation and expresses concerns about the pervasive perspectives of German writers, particularly in their support of militaristic and expansionist ideologies. By synthesizing various voices, including notable scholars and public figures, the introduction establishes a critical yet curious stance on Germany's national identity and intellectual heritage as the nation stands on the precipice of war.
