"Every psychical phenomenon is characterized by what the scholastics of the Middle Ages called the intentional (also the mental) inexistence of an object, and what we, although with not quite unambiguous expressions, would call relation to a content, direction towards an object (which is not here to be understood as a reality), or immanent objectivity.
These three he calls the act, the content and the object.
Inevitability without content is man's reason in its three forms.
Only by separating the two sources of cognition, related to one another as form to content, do we get the mutually exclusive and separately incomprehensible conceptions of freedom and inevitability.

It happened one day that I passed a tree under which lay several dry gourds, and catching one up I amused myself with scooping out its
contents and pressing into it the juice of several bunches of grapes which hung from every bush.
