Reason drives them together

"Imagination sees a lot of various things, and sees them as Like and Unlike, a manifold variety. Reflection, Understanding, relates them and shows how they contradict each other … but Reason, Reason, catches hold of the variety and seeks out of the Opposition, the Contradiction, and drives them together, ties them together, makes one the Other of the other. Then things happen."

C L R James, Notes on Dialectics (1948)
