The routine analytics commonly in use confine themselves as a rule to the establishment of quantities — residue analyses of harmful substances, for instance, leading to the fixing of questionable limit values that have to be revised time and again — or to so-called quality-conferring constituents. What is lacking here for the interpretation of the data is the conceptual point of reference: such as, in the case of the light-and-shade trial, the comparison under defined conditions; or the relative, physiological resting state of ripeness; or the specific composition in which a substance appears and fulfils a particular function. A reliable statement becomes possible only — and this cannot be done without enormous effort — when the analytical data furnish confirmation for concepts that one has gained from the thinking beholding of life's manifestations.
