Explore "The Understanding" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A pun will sometimes facilitate explanation, as thus; -- the Understanding is / that which _stands under_ the phenomenon, and gives it objectivity. You / know _what_ a thing is by it. It is also worthy of remark, that the Hebrew / word for the understanding, _Bineh_, comes from a root meaning _between_ or / _distinguishing_.
