At first glance, Richard Kralik, historian of many interests, cultural philosopher, and poet, would seem to have almost nothing in common with the philosopher Hans Eibl. It is not at all understandable how these two learned men, to whom every-day politics was alien, were of any considerable influence on the forming of political-ideological opinion of students. Kralik and Eibl belonged to that group of intellectuals of Catholic and nationalist leaning who supplied, with their speeches and writings, the intellectual armament of an apparently harmonious combination of Catholicism, German nationalism, and National Socialism.
