I have read Goethes writing about it, and in the end, he says that there was this woman who said "All that can ever be said about religion and (I don't really know how this word translates, but it is close to etics and moral) can be found in the last three words of play" Can someone explain this, I feel like I know why but I don't. Please help me. Here is the link to play: http://worldlibrary.net/eBooks/Wor...kLibrary.com/cainbyron.htm I have read the translation so maybe that is the problem, but still...
Before starting an argument, do some research, it might be proven it is right/wrong

Sorry, can't help you. But, it is just Goethe, after all. He was always confabulating about women. He also said "Eternal woman draws us upward" whatever that may mean.
"Let us not pretend to doubt in philosophy what we do not doubt in our hearts."--C.S. Peirce "There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it."--Marcus Tullius Cicero "Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men."--John Dewey
