"By means of beauty sensuous man is led to form and thought; by means of beauty spiritual man is brought back to matter and restored to the world of sense."
Beauty is necessary to tug at each instance, but it must not be considered a "middle state."
it links the two opposite realms (form and thought), yet there is absolutely no middle term.
they are diametrically opposed and can never become one.
Their union can only come about through their destruction
through the frame of the sensuous, beauty is thought of as it actually behaves, whereas through the frame of reason beauty behaves as it is actually thought.
"...Both are bound to miss the truth: the former because they would make the limitations of discursive understanding vie with the infinity of nature; the latter because they would limit the infinity of nature according to the laws of discursive understanding."
