Philosophy always talks about the wholeness, not a part of it


If the individual person only acts in a special corner of the extensive area of life, then he acts without any connection with the wholeness.

You must therefore remember, that philosophy always talks about the wholeness, not a part of it.

The smaller is in the larger, but the larger is not in the smaller.

The individual person is the tiny image-limited, stagnated and despairing being, who is satisfied with his tiny gods and his tiny traditions, whereas the welfare and weal of all, the sum of the world´s necessity, misery and confusion, are engaging Man.

It is the thinking´s self-production which creates the separation of the observer and the observed


How is the individuality of Man formed, the Ego?

We all originate from life itself, from a special original energy, the source of life, the source from where all life-power and joy of life originate.

This energy creates, through its self-production, its own substance, namely sensation, observance and thinking.

It was this substance Descartes called the thinking substance (res cogitans), which is standing as opposed to the outstretched substance (res extensa).

The thinking substance you could call the abstract side of Man (logos).

The action and conduct of life is the practical, or concrete side (bios).

There exists of course not such an absolute division. Nonetheless it is the thinking´s self-production which creates the separation of the observer and the observed, the split in the thinker, who is standing outside his own actions and conduct of life, who distances himself from them, and relates thinking to them.
