Opinions and knowledge constitute ethics and that is where purpose is fulfilled. Harmony is involved in ethics, as a style, in the moment of harmony lies ethics very principle. Pure thinking and opinion are essentially inherently one, knowledge ibut also opinion is just that for which and in which this pure unity.
The conflict between knowledge and opinion should be resolved into unity should come out a unity, and resolution is ethics; harmony, which is an impulse, operates as a mediating ground.
Knowledge and opinion are two aspects, as something ideally presented, it is knowledge merely thinking, a point of view, not doing,.
Opinion portrays the real aspect of free will; the self-determination of the will is a manner of being. The good and bad rest on the subjective and objective are the will, these moments the struggle the activity of interpreting the inner content of oneself transcends barriers from subjectivity to objectivity this will within in short, is our purpose.
Hegel believed ethics have three aspects, first, what’s mine is mine, a inner purpose second, inner content as in being aware of the worth of the action and last, this being awareness this is what makes us transcend to universal good. It is in the ethical world that good comes alive endowed with knowing, willing and actualizing by self-conscious deeds.

Newton did not proved things turn on elliptic path it was Laplace who showed not only an elliptic path but also the force that keeps the planets in orbit.
Newton’s law of gravity is only part of the universal motion that was already implied by Kepler. Newton, did give the law of gravity ground but it was not a good one.
In the first place he wrote that the extension to the moon was only a part of gravitational force, the rule of motion of the planets to their satellites, a limited point merely generalizing gravity by giving it a visible example such as the apple falling.
It took Kepler twenty-seven years to sought out the law that cubes of the mean distances of the different planets are proportional to the squares of their periods of revolution. The Newtonian idea of these laws is that motion is controlled by gravity, which is inversely proportional to the squares of the distances.
The centre has no meaning apart from the periphery or the periphery from the centre. Copernicus hypotheses in the case of planetary bodies is eccentric
The rudiments of Kepler’s law of motion are among the most beautiful, purest, and least tangled to be found. Kepler, who had complete faith that reason must be there in the heavenly bodies, took twenty seven years to prove the law of motion, the mean distances of the different planet are proportional to the squares of their periods of revolution.

Nature all its wealth its infinity and varied arrangements, is reduced by the all-pervading power of mind. “Just as the richness of spring with all its glowing colors dies and fade away the rustle of life is quieted by the stillness of mind,”
Johannes Kepler was born December 27, 1571 in Weil, Germany, Tycho Brahe was born December 14, 1546, Nicolaus Copernicus, born February 19, 1473, and William Gilbert, born May 24, 1540.
In the fourteenth century not only was Copernicus learned in Greek, an astronomer, a philosopher, he was also a jurist and a physician. Copernicus was the first to show the sun is at mid part. Pythagorean, whose dates are commonly given as 569–475 BC, spoke of it as the innermost point of the sphere as the midpoint or center. Aristotle believed if the world which is spherical is equally in need of the light of the sun and sunlight heat, then it would be best for the sun to be at midpoint.
Copernicus regarded the sun at the center rather then with the sun moving around the center. Those common mobiles do not differ from sun being center of the world and the region of the moving planets. His demonstrated earth as a moving planet and put the immovable sun at the center of the universe.
The spangled heavens should be used as a pattern like the beauty of pictures excellently wrought by the hand of some great artist. Any geometrician who sees them appreciates the exquisite worship. The true astronomers look at the movements of the stars in heaven and know they are framed in perfect manner.

If we became the director of these studies and gave honour to them; then students would want to come, and there would be continuous and earnest search, and discoveries would be made; since even now, disregarded as they are by the world, and maimed and although none of their votaries can tell the use of them, still these studies force their way by their natural charm, and very likely, if they had the help of the us, they would some day emerge into light.

Self-confidence in the fearful and unknown darkness of chance devoid of consciousness remains the darkness of night, which never comes to draw distinctions within it, and never attains the clearness a shadow.
Then self-confidence is reflective thought. Here supersensible, understanding is reinstated, but in such a way that self feels satisfied in the present, ethics is reinstated a positive objective being which is the self consciousness of self as the controlling necessity of what is essential and actual.

The first instance self-consciousness and self simply, belief and spirit as it is externally in its world, or the objective existence of spirit, are distinct, the latter consists in the totality of spirit, so far as its moments are separated from each other and each is set forth by itself. These moments, however, are consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, and spirit--spirit,

Instinctually we are in step with the world. Just as everything else, we feel it. Therefore self feeling i it is this urge not contingent but necessary. To feel is a privilege it is this theoretical process that we are free.
Only self in its entirety that is in time, and the shapes which are specific embodiments of the whole of self as such, in a sequence one after the other. For it is only mind that properly has reality, and hence pure freedom relatively to anything else, the form which takes expression. But the moments of the whole consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, and spirit, have, because they are momentsm of being.

The ego is reflection of self but has also uncertainty not like sunlight reflection which has the potential of unifying with all things enters in community with no objection in its way. Ego approach is theoretical called the mechanical sphere of feeling. This theoretical process, determines, distinguishes our relationship with the outside world. Feeling, perceiving, reasoning, willing and thinking, all are inherent.
What rules self is called knowledge. The object of knowledge is thought, for example, the knowledge of house building is termed architecture is called the rational principle of self, whereas the other principle of self may be termed the ally of pleasures and satisfactions.
The old saying that we should not try to please people but good and noble God. If the way is long and circuitous, wonder not at this, for, where the end is great may take a longer path.
Learning embraces freethinking and is the ultimate absolute reason we are here, there can be nothing so remote that we cannot reason. Raises a pang of emotion in the philosopher is possessed by every one, offered to everyone, and made plain for all.

The best method to understand present time consists in fixing mind on immediate-being, and then asking how you relate to actual immediate-being. In order to harmonize compare the idea of present time to determine your concept.
As Minerva fully armed springs forth from the head of Jupiter the mind alone is capable of assuring that what we see is good is merely an unconscious observer it perceives nothing more than thinking of what is present.
Metaphysics, the branch of philosophy concerning the nature of being, underlying principle is pure thought; Thought is being or being is thought. You will not easily find a more difficult study or not much as difficult knowledge in which the best learning natures should be trained in and never give the study up.
What is space, what is time here arithmetic, and calculation rises out of the sea of change and is laid hold truth seen with mind only.
Space is complete abstract limitless unbounded and time is complete continuous motion.
Space continuous unbounded limitless oneness contains no material difference, space extends in every direction is not immediate-existence, not endowed with specific qualities, nor is space connected to any thing or condition. Space is not related to things, it is mediation less indifference.
Yet, things exist in space side-by-side in complete abstraction, affected or interfere with. Material things do not affect space even though materials things exist in it side-by-side in complete abstraction and do not interfere with one another.

Pure consciousness is instinct just as one feels the coming change in weather from a wound in the body. Or, the urge of the cat at the sight of a bird awakens the desire for it, then desire not a choice and every one has a restricted space and time, seeks out its own intimate complex environment. Lilies, willows, fig trees have their own particular bug or insect whose nature is restricted to each plant.
Whereas, self-consciousness is the very opposite of the instinct it is purpose? Doing is what brings about self- purpose. Ethics is where purpose lies, transcends the idea of absolute good pure and simple, in other words, and becomes aware of one purpose. We can never assure ourselves of anything if purpose does not intervene.
Tension with the outside world, is a condition and matter of feeling. We sentient creature are self determined in a particular way, we sense, we distinguish the outside from within hold a relationship with the outer world. What causes a particular emotion exists outside of us independently, but equally at the same time.
This instinctual relationship with outside world starts with force. It is that feeling or urge as a denial at the same time constructive self-relation in the face of outside world which is the theoretical process that we are free.
The urge of the animal is the self-feeling dependence. Our appetite is in need of another, which is its negative; it is the unpleasant feeling of need. Feeling is not a contingent relationship but a necessary one. It is the privilege of higher natures to feel and the higher the nature, the more unhappiness it feels.
Only in the living creature is instinct the inner stimulus, whose determinateness is at the same time a relation of outside world.

Any individual who loves thinking about things for the sake of knowledge and are capable of being speculative and reflective. The ultimate aim is to bring back the spirit of thinking and creating a consciousness that recognizes absolute reality. Knowledge expresses nothing less than knowledge that lives in us all. A more thoughtful thorough rational and deductive way of examining science without hypothesis on my part, and without instructing or wishing to command is needed.

The first principle of immediate being complete abstraction is space and time and the only science that goes directly to metaphysics the first principle of Nature's goodness and beauty is dialectic knowledge. It starts the discovery by doing away with hypothesis to define rationally an ideal universal intimate oneness of the universe and path of return.
Space is the immediate being of nature is wholly ideal contains no difference within it.
Let us fix our thoughts of immediate being. The filling of space doesn’t affect space it is completely the same without interruption however remotely we place a star we can go beyond it because the universe is not nailed up with boards.
The truth of space is some material body. Space continuous unbounded limitless whole is before all other vital qualities contains in it no material differences. It extends in every direction as total whole spreading immediate-existence. Nor is space endowed with any specific individuality, or connected to conditions. It has no comparison to anything. Material things in space do not affect it even though materials things exist in it side-by-side in complete abstraction but do not interfere with other.
Truly space can only be thought of. One main metaphysical question is how space is connected to time or is it on its own account. If space is a mere material body then space must be like a box that even when empty maintains a particular material being. But this cannot be space is freely spreading offers no resistance whatsoever.
All three constitute the only boundaries of space is determined in terms of particular lines, the circular based on the radii of the sun, the cubical as such, above below, right and left; and lastly the, plane or triangular line.
These aspects develop universal consciousness and to inspire the desire for knowledge, independent thought by putting questions to without presumption on our part, and without instructing or wishing to command. Liberate the mind just as iron brought from a state of extreme punctiformity to one of malleability.

Zeno believed theory is not under any law or cause, for instance, I state something that is untrue; then I show this hypothesis follows that it is not. But another mind does not assert this. This is metaphysics and very confusing. I declare one thing to be true; another has the right to assert something else to be not true.
In Plato’s Parmenides (pp 127,128) Socrates stated Zeno writings affirms fundamentally the same, as does Parmenides that all is one but he would delude us into believing that he was telling something new. That is why Kant, stated, we know appearances only. Space and time are two absolute opposites but they are one moment and it was Zeno who first showed their contradiction.
When observing something, there was no difficulty in getting from that some thing like or unlike it derives from the senses this is knowledge. There are two sorts of knowledge, one is perceived and the other imperceptibly concealed, like body and mind. May we say that the body is more akin to perceived and the mind is not seen? By is perceived and concealed I mean that which is or is not visible to the eye.
The underlining principle of the thinker has two powers; one is set over the thinker world and the other over in the visible world. Thinkers if they are going to be of any real use must make use of the natural gift of knowledge otherwise there is no profit in thinking. The instrument that comes on the scene and liberates thinking is knowledge. Then to see, hear or perceive anything knowledge must be there or we thinkers would not have any thing to refer to. Whatever is done and whatever happens that darkness to daylight knowledge must be there. The principle of knowledge is wisdom, intelligence, insight, and understanding.

In sifting out all the questions embraced in knowledge, the most simple and difficult we will not grapple with wrong opinion, imperfection is the measure of nothing. Only by good all things become useful and advantageous.
Now if knowledge were just opinion it would be a very boring study. Therefore, we must have a willingness to give profound thinking that exalts truth. Knowledge is solely a unity of subjective and objective is the slave and the master.
To approach knowledge the right way in order for it to be of real use come and rise out of the sea of change and lay hold to true knowledge not as amateurs but seen with mind only.

When we suppose anything to be or not to be, then we must look at the thing itself. Like anything that we suppose either to be or not to be look at them in relation.
Knowledge draws the mind from not being to being in which all arts, sciences, and intelligences use in common, and which every one first has to learn among the elements of education.
Space and time play this role of inner and outer principle because pure knowing the ultimate absolute truth of consciousness means knowing without any specifications and filling; absolute not mediated by anything just like space and time; The shape of an immediate being opening and unfolding into the world is transformed into something, but it is the starting point.
One part of immediate being is body, and the other mind and to which class may we say that the body is more akin seen or not seen meaning which is or is not visible to the eye and what of the mind? The mind is more like to the unseen and the body more liken to the seen.
Parmenides unveiled the mind saying it is the simple bareness of infinity he called universal existence or the mind of the world.
: "Since the utmost limit of being is perfect, it resembles on every side the form of a well rounded sphere, which from its centre extends in all directions equally, for it can be neither larger or smaller in one part or another. There is no non-being which prevents it from attaining to the like.”
