As The Ancient Commander Addressed

Mathematics Is, As It Were, A Sensuous Logic, And Relates To Philosophy As Do The Arts, Music, And Plastic Art To Poetry.

It Is A Thoughtless And Immodest Presumption To Learn Anything About Art From Philosophy. Some Do Begin As If They Hoped To Learnsomething New Here, Since Philosophy Cannot And Should Not Do Anything Further Than Develop The Given Art Experiences And The Existing Art Concepts Into A Science, Improve The Views Of Art, And Promote Them With The Help Of A Thoroughly Scholarly Art History, And Produce That Logical Mood About These Subjects Too Which Unites Absolute Liberalism With Absolute Rigor.

Only He Who Possesses A Personal Religion, An Original View Of Infinity, Can Be An Artist.

There Is No Self-knowledge Except Historical Self-knowledge. No One Knows What He Is If He Doesn't Know What His Contemporaries Are.

Religion And Morals Are Symmetrically Opposed, Just Like Poetry And Philosophy.
