Not illustrated. 1898 Excerpt: . ourselves above the limitation and contingency of the natural here and nova. For all work arises out of some transcendent whole; in it a unity to be realized is always presupposed. Work means life-work. At first this unity is the particular unity, a whole to be gotten by the individual. But even so the work of the particular brings about the work of the whole. The particular works are worked into the work of the whole. Reality is the work of works. As this common reality is the result of work, so is work the result of transcending the immediate here and nova-the product of our struggle to rise above the mediocrity of life, of our strife against the average. In work we see a new creation, something which cannot be deduced from the spiritless masses and motions of nature. It is a selfcentered spirituality, a self-active life, a world resting in the struggle of the whole. As such it hangs over against nature and the punctual self. And thus, in conclusion, we see that the spiritual life has no existence and no meaning, no strength and no marrow without a rising above the average; that no such transcendence is possible without spiritual self-activity; that there is no self-activity at any one point without a self-activity of the whole, without a universal life, without the opening of a new world. 'This word is a translation of Werk as distinct from Arbeit. Man, as it were, hangs between these two worlds-between spirit and nature. Both are real. Of this there can be no doubt. Nature confronts us at every turn. A large portion of our life is devoted to her. On the other hand, the world of spirit is with us also. To deny its reality is equally absurd. And what is man to do with these confronting realms? Both cannot equally claim him. At the start let us do away.
