ABSTRACT
The plurality of such individuals can be presented only through space and time, their arising and passing away only through causality, in all of which forms we recognize only the various modes of the principle of sufficient ground. The Platonic Idea, by contrast, is necessarily an object, something of which there is cognizance, a presentation, and precisely thereby, but also only thereby, different from the thing in itself. It has merely shed the subordinate forms pertaining to the phenomenon, all of which we comprehend under the Principle of Sufficient Ground, but it has retained the first and most general form, that of presentation in general, of being object for a subject. The chapter characterize art quite simply as that way of regarding things which is independent of the Principle of Sufficient Ground, contrasting it with that regard which is precisely in accordance with the latter, which is the way of experience and science.
