To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are, indeed, two entirely GOETHE'S TITANISM. 11 distinct forms of Titanism, just as there were two orders among the mythical Titans themselves. The Titans are simply personifications of the brute forces of nature and the fundamental forces of spirit. The former of these always tend to revolution and an- archy ; the latter, even in their revolt against order, to a hiuher order. The former in man we call the lusts of the flesh ; the latter we call the aspirations of the spirit after the Div...ine, the Infinite, the Abso- lute. Aristotle {De Anima, B. IV. 2 ; 415^ 1) says that "all thinos reach out toward the eternal and the divine, and it is for the sake thereof that they do all that they do according to nature. " Whatever acts, then, do not tend toward the Divine may be said to be unnatural ; whatever acts do so tend, to be natural. All nature, as such, tends to the highest order, to the Divine. At the bottom of all revolu- tions lies a conception of man as a material being ; at the bottom of all reformations, a conception of man as a spiritual being, striving to realize the Divine in himself.
