A project is the subjective germ of a developing object. A perfect project should simultaneously be entirely subjective and entire...ly objective--an indivisible and living individual. As to its origin, it should be entirely subjective, original, and possible only in the mind; as to its character, entirely objective, physical, and morally necessary. The sense for projects--which could be called aphorisms of the future--differs from the sense for the aphorisms of the past only in direction, progressive in the former and regressive in the latter. The essential thing is the ability to idealize and realize matters immediately and simultaneously, to complete them and carry them out partly within oneself. Since the word transcendental refers precisely to the unification and separation of the ideal and the real, one could easily say that the sense for aphorisms and projects is the transcendental part of the historical spirit.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
