His great weaknesses were that he had little comprehension of power and that he thought in abstractions...Wilsons attitude, wrote Walter Weyl, is part of a curiously a priori metaphysical idealism. His world stands firmly on its head. Ideas do not rest upon facts, but facts on ideas.... To him railroad cars are not railroad cars but a gray general thing called Transportation; people are not men and women, corporeal, gross, very human beings, but Humanity--Humanity very much in the abstract. -William E. Leuchtenburg. HUMANITY!!!
