"If philosophy has a positive and direct relation to things, it is only insofar as philosophy claims to grasp the thing itself, according to what it is, in its difference from everything it is not, in other words, in its internal difference."
"Ako filozofija ima pozitivan i direktan odnos prema stvarima, to je samo utoliko što filozofija tvrdi da shvatiti samu stvar, prema onome što jeste, u svojoj razlici od svega što nije, drugim rečima u svojoj unutrašnjoj razlici".
