Freedom Invokes Action

Overall sympathy
External contingencies
Unbounded reserve

The reality and ultimacy of nature approached from an idealistic perspective builds upon a model of human freedom. Part of the puzzle centers on the praxis of creative intuition as a function of action. In such productive matters, nature functions as both the ground and antithesis of spirit. Within the empirical objects of perception there exists an inexhaustible reservoir of enigmatic potential.

“An intelligent being bears within himself the means to transcend his own nature.” – Henri Bergson

Identity within Itself

Complete interpenetration
Mutual informing
Real and ideal

Aesthetic idealism and beauty is at the centre of Schelling’s philosophical inquiry. His interrogation functions as an organic view of nature that depends on creative intuition. As such, the conditions of possibility are interrelated by means of unity.

“The forms of art must be the forms of things as they are within the absolute or in themselves.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Living Spirit

Transmitted theory
Immediately eternal
Visible form

Contact with existence is oblique and vicarious. The reality of the particular never completely corresponds to the possibility inherent within its absolute existence. All objects are more than their mutual associations and exceed their appearances.

“The philosophy of art is a necessary goal of the philosopher, who in art views the inner essence of his own discipline as if in a magic and symbolic mirror.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Life and Death

Etch history
Final statement
Ephemeral interval

Unending subdivisions of both space and time produce ideas of infinitesimal and infinite processes. Aesthetics embraces a view of the universe that includes some uncertainty and mystery, while investing in time wisely.

“Here lies one from a distant star, but the soil is not alien to him, for in death he belongs to the universe.” – Clifford D. Simak

Extendable Aggregate

Unconditional absolute
Infinitely emergent
Things internally

Art seeks the essence of experience indirectly through the unity of subject and object. In beauty, maximum freedom conceives and comprehends itself within operational necessity.

“Art is an absolute synthesis or mutual interpenetration of freedom and necessity.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Bridge Crossing

Restricted space
Carrying capacity
Immediately available

Empirical consciousness arises merely in time as a function of the succession of presentations. Pure self-consciousness is an act lying outside of time, by which time itself is made manifest.

“Knowledge about life is one thing; effective occupation of a place in life, with its dynamic currents passing through your being, is another.” – William James

Steamboat Bill’s

Conditioned by form
Consciously productive
Mediating factor

An intuitively obvious idea is that truth must match reality to be true. Of course, reality is a huge indeterminate field of inexhaustible existence, rendering any possible correspondence fragmentary and incomplete.

“It is better to be vaguely right than to be precisely wrong.” – Walter Terence Stace

Subsidiary Details

Remunerative section
Liquid for the tank
Additional adjustment

The fundamental identity of the activity concerned in generating existence is the same as that which finds expression in willing. The will displays itself as products at once conscious and nonconscious.

“I’ve had some really good times at gas stations.” – Alyson Hannigan

Shadow Dynamism

Structured fragments
Latent dispositions
Creative energy

Accepting the inevitable shadow elements as encountered, frees up uncharted mental domains. Identity is an amalgamation of thoughts, feelings, and possesses that come and go.

“What we call civilized consciousness has steadily separated itself from the basic instincts. But these instincts have not disappeared. They have merely lost their contact with our consciousness and are thus forced to assert themselves in an indirect fashion.” – Carl Jung

Coincidence of Presentation

Intrinsic notion
Merely objective
Reciprocal concurrence

Sensibilities heighten in the pre-evening when walking around an unfamiliar city for the first time. Under such enchanting circumstances, aesthetic intuition itself becomes absorbed in the objective experience.

“The highest consummation of natural science would be the complete spiritualizing of all natural laws into laws of intuition and thought.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
