“All later experiences thus tend to receive their meaning from this original set, whether they appear as its verification and fulfillment or its negation and antithesis… Any two generations following one another always fight different opponents, both within and without. While the older people may still be fighting one battle, in such a fashion that all their feelings and efforts and even their concepts and categories of thought are determined by that adversary, for the younger people, this adversary may be simply non-existent: their primary orientation is an entirely different one.” (Karl Mannheim)
