on grace and dignity

three ways of life:
human beings can:

supress their physical nature in favor of rationality. (stifling monarchy, regimented tastes)

fully succumb to their sensuous nature. (political anarchy, tastlessness)

find a harmony between the demands of nature and reason. (unites law and freedom) - "The Aesthetic State"
