ABSTRACT
The limitation of the natural sciences postulates the illimitability of philosophy. The explications have firmly established that the pure or fundamental forms of knowledge are two: the intuition and the concept—Art, and Science or Philosophy. The most lofty manifestations, the summits of intellectual and of intuitive knowledge shining from afar, are called Art and Science. Art and Science, then, are different and yet linked together; they meet on one side, which is the aesthetic side. The aesthetic side may remain little noticed when the mind is altogether taken up with the effort to understand the thought of the man of science and to examine its truth. Historicity is not form, but content: as form, it is nothing but intuition or aesthetic fact. The two forms of knowledge, aesthetic and intellectual or conceptual, are indeed different, but this does not altogether amount to separation and disjunction, as of two forces each pulling in its own direction.
