As an instrument and a weapon in the struggle for existence man has at his disposal the intellect which enables him, by means of language, to make use of conceptional thinking. But if he uses the intellect in order to manage the interactions with his equals, he unaffectedly has to observe and to manipulate the behaviour of his fellow-men as well as his own psychic processes like functions of intricate technical apparatuses, disregarding or violating the incalculable 'endothymic' part (strivings and feelings) of human being. Innate dispositions of behaviour, urges, moods, and emotions, however, constitute real life. Suppression of vital powers by the laws of rationality makes civilized people suffer.
作为生存斗争中的一种工具和武器，人类可以运用其智力，借助语言进行概念性思考。但如果他运用智力来处理与他人的互动，他就不得不像操作复杂的技术设备一样，无动于衷地观察和操纵他人以及自己的心理过程，而忽略或违背人类难以估量的“内心”部分（欲望和情感）。然而，与生俱来的行为倾向、冲动、情绪和情感才构成了真实的生活。理性法则对生命力量的压制让文明人饱受痛苦。
