94 “Toute idée enveloppe un élément impulsif; nulle idée n’est un état
simplement représentatif.” (Every idea contains an element of impulse;
no idea is merely a condition of re-presenting something in thought.)
95 . . . “notre conscience de nous-même tendant à sa plénitude par son
expansion en autrui.” ( . . . our consciousness of ourselves, which
presses on to its full growth by expanding into others.)
96 “Agis envers les autres comme si tu avais conscience des autres en
même temps que de soi.”
97 Fouillée reveals his attitude towards Nietzsche in a work entitled
_Nietzsche and Immoralism_. Notes on the works of Fouillée and Guyau
have been preserved by Nietzsche.

104 So Otto Braun in his essay “Monism and Ethics” in the volume
entitled _Monism Expounded in Contributions from its Representatives_
