must become, out of the experience of what is spiritually-morally at work in human beings, a shaping thinking — one that arrives, in body-free cognition, at judgments conforming to the spiritual-moral world. Necessity, the law, is immanent in the natural order; for the social order, the spiritual must first condense, in sense-free thinking, into moral law through the act of cognition. In shaping thinking, the future shines into the present; action itself becomes directed toward the future. Becoming conscious of this fact in practical collaboration is what first opens the eye to the path along which an agricultural farm community learns, step by step, to become capable of action and of self-governance. It thereby becomes the initial site of an economy oriented toward the side of nature — in the sense of shaping the farm organism — and toward the side of social life; it becomes the point of departure for a solidary-associative economy that inserts itself, as an autonomous member, into the social organism (Figure 10, p. 172). Economic life articulates itself in three functions: production, distribution, and consumption. The internal economy of the farm has as its aim the meeting of the needs of the earth, the fertilizing of the soil. This occurs, for example, through the production of the farm's own manures, their distribution across the fields, and their consumption by the plants.
