What is Representation, how does the WTP turn truth into a value, and how does the inadequacy of that value require another value, and what does this allow us to say about the essence of Art?
Representation is not, at least in its purest form, the determination of the manifold of intuition as an object, but rather the activity of the will in which the will is brought before itself and tested. Representation “orders the will forth into the will’s own testing”, and “in such testing the will first represents itself purely and therewith in its highest form”(87). Thus, the representing (as process) is not initially the representing of an object, and the representation (as thing) is not an object. Rather, the representation (as thing) is the “encircling sphere” held as a fixed constant, a certainty, at the will’s disposal – and thereby it is turned into object. And representing (as process) is the activity of bringing that having-secured before the will such that it can be tested – in order to evaluate the certainty of the its securedness, its surety, its aptness to serve for the sake of the will’s preservation as continued willing by being known as a fixed-constant on disposal.
