GENERAL INTRODUCTION 13 n i | 5 1} T° D oy 4 1] .s Y ¢ Jf an object, but correspondence with the totality of its world-conception, is the aim of the philosophic truth. The essence of philosophic thought is its self-sufficiency. It is unrelated to anything external and is directed above the momentary singularity to the totality of knowledge and to the totality of life. Not only is there no immediate relation between the metaphysical statement and the external world, but even within the sphere of metaphysics that which holds good in the height of its abstractions cannot be applied to the single elements of existence. The specific concept of a philosophic truth is peculiarly detached from the factual content of its propositions. This is due to the fact that its picture of the world results from the unification of the totality of existence on the basis of a one-sided selection of slements. The paradox of all great philosophic world- conceptions lies in the fact that they pronounce absolute, general statements which do not even fit the single cases that are logically included. The reason for this is that the general character of these statements is not a formulation of the universal aspect of particulars, but of the universal aspect of the mental reaction toward them.! Metaphysics constructs a picture of the world accord- ing to categories which have little or nothing to do with the categories of empirical knowledge. When for metaphysics existence is the appearance of the absolute spirit or the absolute will, moral action the expression of our noume- non, when matter and spirit are two sides of one substance, then all this lies in a plane which bears the criteria of its significance and validity within itself. Within this thought mirror the world forms a self-sufficient picture which satisfies only metaphysical requirements, not requirements springing from different needs.
