662 BIOLOGY. 



One cannot refuse understanding to the Thricozoa. 

 The actions of the Dog, Horse and Elephant, do not admit 

 otherwise of being conceived; nor also the shame and 

 pride, fidelity, animosity, desire of revenge, and yet many 

 other properties exhibited by these animals. 



But it is an understanding without self-consciousness, 

 if we may so venture to express ourselves ; an under- 

 standing of many signs, but devoid of any combination 

 and separation of these signs ; in a word, there is no 

 faculty of judgment. 



The Thricozoa are Choleric animals. 



8. Functions of the P anesthetic 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-conscious- 

 ness, 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 sym- 

 bols of light, of the world. 



Reason is world-understanding ; the understanding 

 is animal reason. 



All the mental functions of animals have become ra- 

 tiocinative in Man. 



i Feeling is in him consciousness, consciousness is self- 

 consciousness, the understanding is reason, the passion/' 

 freedom, the mechanical instinct artistic sense, the com- 

 parison science.
