[1] But we have something more than the animal life of the animal(beast). A beast lives an animal life in order that it may experiencepleasant sensations. It experiences pleasant sensations that it maypreserve the animal life. It lives now, therefore, in order that it maylive again tomorrow. It is happy now that it may be happy to-morrow. But it is a simple, an uncertain happiness, which depends upon the actionof the organism, it is a slave to luck and blind chance; because itconsists in sensat...ion only. Man, too, lives an animal life, --is sensibleof its pleasures and suffers its pains. But why? He feels and suffersthat he may preserve his animal life. He preserves his animal life thathe may longer have the power to live a spiritual one. Here, then, themeans differ from the end; there, end and means seem to coincide. Thisis one of the lines of separation between man and the animal. S 5. --Animal Sensations. So far we have met with such sensations only as they take their rise inan antecedent operation of the understanding; but we have now to dealwith sensations in which the understanding bears no part.
