Document Summary
Reflection = exhaustion, one can never tell whether a decision which saves a man from evil is reached after thorough consideration, or whether it is simply the exhaustion resulting from reflection which prevents him from doing wrong (13) At any moment reflection is capable of explaining everything quite differently and allowing one some way of escape i. e, it can change everything. Passionate age: overthrow everything, pull everything down (14) A revolutionary age (that is reflective and passionless): leaves everything standing but makes the whole of life ambiguous: so that everything continues to exist factually (14) Relationships are unauthentic because they abstractly continue without any real force of passion drawing them together; they are meaningless. Ex. a father and a son will always be a father and a son, but their relationship is a product of continuity of a predisposed relationship.
