Eric Voeglin, The Theory of Governance and other miscellaneous papers.

In the course of his actions, the human, whom we know as a unity, also reveals a
duality of fundamental principles. The one basic form has something tranquil and
abiding about it. In the validity of its form its being achieves a certain objectivity that
is independent of the individual. Although it forms and shapes experiences, it is
above them. It imparts a particular form of conceptualization to experiences, but we
find no necessary reason why this specific form should be given to the respective
existential type. There is no reason why the experienced state of affairs should attain
reality precisely in this form and no other. This basic form has something compelling
about it; it is something external that surrounds the experience and takes hold of it
with a higher power. It has about it an air of the inexorability of fate. Despite its
phenomenal immanence, the first basic form has an aura of a being-in-itself; it
becomes the model from which the phenomenon takes its particular quality. (p. 184)
