These events have of course many more modal aspects than the historical. There does not exist a purely historical reality. An indissoluble inner coherence binds the numerical to the spatial aspect, the latter to the aspect of mathematical movement, the aspect of movement to that of physical energy, which itself is the necessary basis of the aspect of organic life. This in turn is connected with the historical, the linguistic, the aspect of social intercourse, the economic, the aesthetic, the jural, the moral aspects and that of faith. Our ego expresses itself as a totality in the coherence of all its functions within all the modal aspects of cosmic reality.
Meaning is the being of all that has been created and the nature even of our selfhood.
It has a religious root and a divine origin. Now philosophy should furnish us with a theoretical insight into the inter-modal coherence of all the aspects of the temporal world. Philosophy should make us aware, that this coherence is a coherence of meaning that refers to a totality. Philosophical thought in its proper character, never to be disregarded with impunity, is theoretical thought directed to the totality of meaning of our temporal cosmos. These single introductory theses contain in themselves the entire complex of problems involved in a discussion of the possibility of genuine philosophy.
