"He to whom men and things do not sometimes seem ghosts or apparitions, is not capable of practicing philosophy; this difference comes from the contrast between a certain thing and its idea, which manifests itself in the thing as a phenomenon. And the idea is accessible only to a higher consciousness.

He to whom men and things do not sometimes seem ghosts or apparitions, is not capable of practicing philosophy; this difference comes from the contrast between a certain thing and its idea, which manifests itself in the thing as a phenomenon. And the idea is accessible only to a higher consciousness.
""Cel căruia oamenii și lucrurile nu i se par uneori fantome sau năluci, nu este capabil să practice filozofia; această diferență vine din contrastul dintre un lucru oarecare și ideea acestuia, care se manifestă în lucru ca fenomen. Iar ideea este accesibilă doar unei conștiinte superioare."
