We do not merely perceive it by describing individual lines, by characterizing its expression, but we perceive it in such a way that we perceive the soul speaking through it in it, in its inwardness, and allow ourselves to be affected by what is behind the physiognomy as the soul-like. Thus, what is spread out before man in nature, in its wonderfully deep unity, becomes the great physiognomy of the world soul that Schelling tried to decipher. But because he sets out in the strictest sense of the word to create everywhere: by enjoying nature and observing it, he can only create as much as was already revealed by nature according to the character of his time. This general character of human soul-creation, insofar as the soul-like is a reflection of nature's creation, that is what Schelling reveals. But while man stands in relation to nature in such a way that all his deepening of his soul life cannot replace for him the direct experience, the loving engagement with phenomena, insofar as one can observe them, Schelling believes that he can create more from within about nature than the mere predisposition for observation. Once again, with the error of a great spiritual virtue, he grasps a nuance of the world view of German idealism in a one-sided way!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"1.

Wir nehmen sie nicht bloß hin, indem wir einzelne Linien beschreiben, indem wir ihren Ausdruck charakterisieren, sondern wir nehmen sie so, dass wir die durch sie hindurch sprechende Seele in ihr wahrnehmen, in ihrer Innerlichkeit auf uns wirken lassen, was als das Seelenhafte hinter der Physiognomie ist. So wird das, was in der Natur, in ihrer wunderbar tiefen Geschlossenheit vor dem Menschen ausgebreitet ist, die große Physiognomie der Weltseele, die Schelling zu entziffern versuchte. Allein weil er im strengsten Sinne des Wortes darauf ausgeht, überall zu schaffen: Indem er die Natur genießt, und beobachtet, kann er eben nur so viel schaffen, als nach dem Charakter seiner Zeit - ich möchte sagen - von der Natur schon enthüllt war. Diesen allgemeinen Charakter des menschlichen Seelenschaffens, insofern das Seelenhafte ein Abbild des Naturschaffens ist, den enthüllt Schelling. Aber während der Mensch zur Natur so steht, dass all seine Vertiefung seines Seelenlebens ihm nicht ersetzen kann das unmittelbare Erleben, das liebevolle Eingehen auf die Erscheinungen, sofern man sie beobachten kann, glaubt Schelling, aus dem Innern heraus mehr schaffen zu können über die Natur als die bloße Anlage für die Beobachtung.
