Rawls I 524
Each scattering on a variety of objects only weakens its energies. However, the human has the skill to co-operate harmoniously with his many skills and to let each of them become active in their own time.
Community/Humboldt: this is also the case in a social community where the skills of the individual can interact, as in a group of musicians.
Rawls: something similar can be found in Kant(2); F. Schiller(3).
