Reason Is Mechanical, Wit Chemical, And Genius

Where Philosophy Ends, Poetry Must Commence. There Should Not Be A Common Point Of View, A Natural Manner Of Thinking Which Standsin Contrast To Art And Liberal Education, Or Mere Living; That Is, One Should Not Conceive Of A Realm Of Crudeness Beyond The Boundaries Of Education. Every Conscious Link Of An Organism Should Not Perceive Its Limits Without A Feeling For Its Unity In Relation To The Whole. For Example, Philosophy Should Not Only Be Contrasted To Non-philosophy, But Also To Poetry.

It Is Individuality Which Is The Original And Eternal Within Man; Personality Doesn't Matter So Much. To Pursue The Education And Development Of This Individuality As One's Highest Vocation Would Be A Divine Egoism.

Like Leibniz's Possible Worlds, Most Men Are Only Equally Entitled Pretenders To Existence. There Are Few Existences.

When Reason And Unreason Come Into Contact, An Electrical Shock Occurs. This Is Called Polemics.

It Is A Thoughtless And Immodest Presumption To Learn Anything About Art From Philosophy. Some Do Begin As If They Hoped To Learnsomething New Here, Since Philosophy Cannot And Should Not Do Anything Further Than Develop The Given Art Experiences And The Existing Art Concepts Into A Science, Improve The Views Of Art, And Promote Them With The Help Of A Thoroughly Scholarly Art History, And Produce That Logical Mood About These Subjects Too Which Unites Absolute Liberalism With Absolute Rigor.
