8. Functions of the Panæsthetic Animal.
3621. If finally all its organs become objective to the animal, through contemplation of the universe, through hearkening of the animal restored into symbols; it thus contemplates itself, is apparent unto itself, and is quite conscious of itself.
Then is the animal equivalent to the whole animal kingdom and to the universe.
3622. The universal spirit is Man.
In the human race the world has become individual. Man is the entire image or likeness of the world. His language is the spirit of the world. All the functions of animals have attained unto unity, unto self-consciousness, in Man.
3623. The thorough penetration of all the animal's symbols, the comparison of all the world's symbols, and thus free comparison is Reason.
The understanding compares only the symbols of sounds, of men; but the reason compares also the symbols of light, of the world.
Reason is world-understanding; the understanding is animal reason.
All the mental functions of animals have become ratiocinative in Man.
