CHAP. VIII. _The World out of Clothes_

Teufelsdroeckh's Theorem, "Society founded upon Cloth"; his
Method, Intuition quickened by Experience.--The mysterious
question, Who am I? Philosophic systems, all at fault: A
deeper meditation has always taught, here and there an
individual, that all visible things are appearances only; but
also emblems and revelations of God. Teufelsdroeckh first
comes upon the question of Clothes: Baseness to which Clothing
may bring us (p. 37).

virtue, illustrated. Conception of Mankind stripped naked; and

one. Man, in the eye of Pure Reason, a visible God's Presence.
The beginning of all wisdom, to look fixedly on Clothes till
they become transparent. Wonder, the basis of Worship:
Perennial in man. Modern Sciolists who cannot wonder:
Teufelsdroeckh's contempt for, and advice to them (p. 47).

emblems, Clothes; and exist for a time only. The grand scope
