And it did this in that it measured aU human achievement by the demands of a transcendent spiritual life and out of it developed inner necessities, to which all achievement had to correspond. So the movement was not lost through the lack of an aim ; and life did not flow onward with the stream of presenta- tions, but found a support in itself ; it was able to exert a THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW TYPE 251 powerful counteraction ; it did not need to acknowledge anything that had not proved its validity... before the judgment -seat of immanent reason. This emergence of the question of validity in contrast to that of actuality must inwardly raise and ennoble the movement of life ; it reveals to man an active relation not only to the environ- ment but primarily to himself ; it leads to a ceaseless differentiation and examination of the quality of life. It is true that the Enlightenment, which acknowledged that alone to be true which was clearly and distinctly cognised, exercised this critique in a too narrow manner ; yet notwithstanding aU that may be problematical in its application to details, the right and the necessity of the fundamental idea are not thereby overthrown : the question remains ; it can be fully justified only in the relations that we have indicated ; but at the same time it must be trans- ferred from the merely intellectual to the spiritual as a whole, and form in relation to the whole that which in the state of culture contains and develops an independent spirituality and a self-conscious life ; but by this it gains a content of truth.
