final system ; the urine is the total product of the vascular 

 system in its antagonism with the lung ; but the semen 

 is the product of the whole body. Through the semen 

 the whole body, rendered fluid or reduced to the primary 

 form, runs away. The semen is the chyle already pre- 

 pared for all parts ; but because it is in a sexual animal, 

 it thus takes the reverse direction and passes out. 



2949. A fluid, in which the whole animal has been 

 dissolved, is parallel to the nerve- or point-mass. The 

 semen is a fluid point- or nerve-mass, the fluid brain. 



2950. Even what is spiritual directly resides in the 

 semen ; it need only assume a form and the cerebral 

 functions commence. 



2951. The penis, as being the sexual tongue, has only 

 retained the sensibility of the sense of touch and the 

 function of ingestion. 



2. Functions of the Female Parts. 



2952. The female aperture is the pharynx for the 

 ingestion. 



2953. It is by means of the female parts that the 

 whole sexual system becomes for the first time equal to 

 the perfected animal ; through them for the first time the 

 male tongue obtains an oral cavity. 



2954. In the total representation of the sexual animal 

 the female parts environ and include the male. This 

 moment is caUed copulation. 



2955. Copulation is the representation of the entire 

 animal out of two incomplete ones. The sexual animal 

 is only an entire beast in copulation, and is only then 

 to be considered as equal to the encephalic animal. 

 Copulation is a representation of the hermaphrodite. 



2956. This propensity for bringing about the sexual 

 animal's completion is sexual passion or lust. 



2957. In copulation the male parts are "par excel- 

 lence" the sensorial organ, the female only the recipient 

 mouth. Both are properly organs of sense, but the one 

 is operative or active, the other patient or passive. 



2958. Previous to copulation the female parts are con-
