Summary

211. <Intuition consists of feeling and imagination. Feeling consists of senses. The sense of feeling – the sense of sight. Imagination [consists] of sensations – the sensation of pleasure – of displeasure.

Feeling – Sensation – Imagination/

Concept – Idea – Power to act.>

212. Feeling is twofold – outer and inner sense. The outer is again the sense of feeling in the strict sense – and the sense of sight. The inner sense is again the sense of feeling in the strict sense – and the sense of sight. Imagination is exclusively productive. It corresponds either to outer sense or to inner sense. There [in outer sense] it is creative and pictorial – and here [in inner sense] likewise. Reason corresponds to [imagination]. Reason contains its laws. The understanding corresponds to feeling. Feeling, understanding and reason are in a way passive – which is already shown by their names – imagination on the other hand is the only power – the only active one – the moving one.

So it must also be that only one is productive – all four are always together – they are one – only for us to separate through itself.

213. There is a faculty of representation and a faculty of feeling – [there is] no faculty of imagination. A faculty is passive.

214. They always work together – and this makes up the empirical consciousness. The human being lacks full consciousness if one piece is missing.

215. There is only imagination – feeling and understanding. Intuition and representation are just the names given to feeling and imagination [together] and concept and imagination together.
