Everything qualitative lives itself forth in polarities — in the contrasts between being and appearance, spirit and matter, light and darkness, and so on. The synthesis of these polarities cannot be found through objective contemplation; it is accomplished through thinking and feeling intuitive beholding that points the will in its direction. The synthesis takes place in the interior, in the spirit-knowledge of the human being. That is the great challenge! The merely analytical mode of thinking directed only toward the lifeless evades this challenge. It lacks the concepts that give the concept of quality an objective, evaluative content. Evaluative concepts include the factor of "time"; they set thinking in motion, make it picture-forming, and thus experienceable. In this way, one enters a path on which the force of thinking can become mediator between what is sense-perceptible and what has been researched, free from the senses, out of the spirit. Only by striving to let both fields of phenomena — the sensory and the spiritual-supersensible field — mutually illuminate one another in vigorous thinking, can evaluative judgment attain objective power of expression.
