Karl Jaspers Quotes

The 'public' Is A Phantom, The Phantom Of An Opinion Supposed To Exist In A Vast Number Of Persons Who Have No Effective Interrelation And Though The Opinion Is Not Effectively Present In The Units. Such An Opinion Is Spoken Of As 'public Opinion,' A Fiction Which Is Appealed To By Individuals And By Groups As Supporting Their Special Views. It Is Impalpable, Illusory, Transient; 'tis Here, 'tis There, 'tis Gone'; A Nullity Which Can Nevertheless For A Moment Endow The Multitude With Power To Uplift Or Destroy.
