“The human’s powers of judgment – they sway between the monstrous structures of dependence and determination by others that is induced in the second sphere and their groundedness in the primary sphere (which in the end gets lost neither in the intimate sphere of the family nor in lived time itself) – rules over the progress of history” (p. 407).

See “Production, Primary and Secondary” (pp. 406-07).
