hand by the fact that Krieck's sharp criticism of the Weimar Republic expressed in it met with a broad response among the German population; on the other hand, people attached their hopes for an improvement of the general situation to the Nazi movement. Nevertheless, Krieck owed many explanations for his lines of thought. The call for fundamental transformations in education is not based on any solutions. He sees the answers in the National Socialist movement. For this "[...] has thus developed the elementary means and methods of mass excitation and mass movement, brought into use by the instincts of its leaders, into a general form of breeding, a system of training, which in the whole people [...] develops race consciousness to the highest degree [...]." In contrast to his "Philosophy of Education", this work had unmistakable features of a political pamphlet. "Folkish-Political Anthropology" Krieck's magnum opus was "Folkish-Political Anthropology", which was published in 3 volumes from 1936 to 1938. The three volumes were entitled, respectively, "Reality, "Actions and Orders", and "Cognition and Science". In this work, Krieck presented the ideas developed in his previous works in a more systematic form. "Salvation and Power" He described his attitude to religion in 1943 in the book Heil und Kraft (Salvation and Power): "Every kind of religion originates in Asia; religion is alien to us in terms of kind and meaning. It belongs to the realm of self-deifying illusionism. For us Germans, the living faith in God and destiny, which gives birth to the will and shapes the living reality of the world as a creative force by creating history and determining the image of nature, is in keeping with our nature and purpose. Faith gives birth to will and power, religion destroys will and power; religion is hostile to the life of our race. Faith, will and power are the powers of health; religion with magic, underworld and redemption is the cause of disease. Faith, power and will come from the God-sent salvation, from vocation, endowment, grace and work health of life." Works Heil und Kraft: Ein Buch Germanischer Weltweisheit.
