The first objection certainly might be disre- garded; namely, why this purpose could be accom- plished at all only as a result of a course of the world, and why it could not be accomplished as well from the very beginning. At the foundation of such a question there really lies the logical error of regarding the conception of ' blessedness ' or of ' pleasure in general ' in this universal sense of it, as something realizable. But the 'pleasure* that is without content can no more exist than a se...n- sation of 'color in general/ which were neither green nor blue. Every 'pleasure* is rather an altogether determinate one, which is distinguished, as to its intensity and coloring, from others, and in both respects is determined by the natur.e of the content of which it is an enjoyment.

Hence it may be made evident, that we are utterly unable to form any real idea of a blessed- ness without content, although we can form the name of it ; that it is capable of realization rather only upon the supposition that there are actual relations of some sort, which constitute the object of enjoyment in this pleasure ; and, finally, that even these relations cannot be as they will, but together must form an orderly arrangement of the world.
