"A new era of the magical explanation of the world is rising, an explanation based on will rather than knowledge. There is no truth in either the moral or the scientific sense."
The speaker of these words was Adolph Hitler, but the sentiments had been encouraged for at least a century by the intellectual ancestors of today's "postmodernist" philosophers.
From: http://www.humanists.net/ Does anybody have the text in German (or know where to get it)?

I did find part of your quotation (the second sentence) here (http://prhl.crosswinds.net/national.htm). It seems that Hitler said it in conversation with Hermann Rauschning, whoever that may be.
However, I could not find the first sentence.
Hope this helps.

Edited to fix grammar.
