Hebraism Hellenism

10. Hellenism and Hebraism both are directly
connected to the human life of human beings.
Hellenism keeps emphasis knowing or knowledge.
Where as Hebraism fasten its faith in doing
Hellenism keeps emphasis on,
Knowing the things
Hebraism puts weight age on,
Doing the things

11. He talks about the great idea to know and great
energy to act, Both are most potent forces, and they
forces, they should be in harmony by the light of
reason. So, they are called Hebraism and Hellenism.
The supreme idea with hellenism of the Greek spirit
is to see thing as they really are, and the supreme idea
of Hebraism the spirit of Bible is conduct and
obedience.
The point out that the Greek Philosophy considers
that body and its desires are an weakness to right
thinking, where as Hebraism consider that body and its
desire are an obstacle to right.

12. Anarchy means “utopian societies of individuals who enjoy
complete freedom without government”. The term ‘anarchy’
refers to a society without a publicly enforced government or
violently enforced political authority. When we use in this
sense, anarchy mayor may not be intended to imply political
disorder or lawlessness.
Arnold in this chapter he talks of one’s freedom. This freedom
is sung very much by Englishmen. But yet, they never thought
about end of such freedom for which it is to be desired.
Arnold accepts the idea of personal freedom. But he tells
about complete freedom. Arnold thinks in this way:
Anarchy

13. “...its is the most happy and important thing for man merely to
be able to do as he likes. But the problem is on what he is to do
when he is thus free to do as he likes, we do not lay so much
stress.”
