Anti-Polish and Anti-Slavic Views
Arndt was also an enemy of the Polish people and published an anti-Polish pamphlet in 1831 where he described Polish "barbarity and wilderness". In 1848 during events of Spring of Nations when Polish issue was raised Arndt declared that "tribes" of Slavs and Wends "have never done or been able to do anything lasting with respect to state, science, or art" and concluded, "At the outset I assert with world history that pronounces judgment:the Poles and the whole Slavonic tribe are inferior to Germans."

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
