It is reserved for the labor and spirit-achievement of the human being to shape what nature has laid down into a higher wholeness, into the organism that is as self-contained as possible — into the agricultural operation. With a view to the cosmic-terrestrial conditions of production in agriculture, there arises from these necessarily the formative principle of the manifoldly articulated organism. This, taken as a whole, constitutes the means of production of agriculture and stands, in polar contrast to this, over against the means of production of industry — the mechanism. The mechanism rests on one-sidedness; the organism, on all-sidedness.
