clarification, n.Definitions

Clarification (n.) seldom ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠moves from pure darkness to pure light: impure intuitions do the chief work, showing a thing on some sides and leaving other sides empty — clarifying means filling the empty and brightening the dim.

Clarification (n.) that ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠would turn vague thinking into strict knowledge must work at two levels: make every meaning fully articulate, and in the substratum transform all that is lifeless into vitality, all vagueness into distinctness, all that is unintuitable into intuition.
