Summary

This quote suggests that both philosophy and art have the ability to give form and substance to abstract and intangible ideas through the power of imagination. They provide a means to explore and comprehend concepts that cannot be perceived directly by the senses. Whether through philosophical concepts or artistic creations, both disciplines allow us to make the invisible aspects of life, such as emotions, beliefs, or abstract theories, visible and tangible, enabling us to better understand and appreciate the complexity and beauty of the world around us.

Then an immense space opens up in silence and an endlessly fecund sub-universe the writer descends, and asks the reader to descend after him, not merely to gain instructions but also to experience delight, the delight of mind freed from matter and exultant in the strength it has stolen from matter.
