One learns by analysis, one feels and lives by synthesis.
The higher one goes, the greater the need to synthesize.
True knowledge is to be found in synthesis.
Analysis is a descent into matter
and synthesis is an ascent toward spirit.
It is sometimes necessary to analyse details,
but synthesis is the only truly effective and fruitful approach
because only synthesis vivifies.
With analysis one limits and restricts oneself more and more.
The higher one goes, the less detail one sees,
but, at the same time, one begins to get a view of the whole
and to discern a greater variety of facts and objects.
It is synthesis that makes it possible to discover unity,
the single principle that links all things together as one
and, in this way to advance towards true knowledge.
