Expression is typically construed as a relation between two ontologically distinct items-namely, a vehicle and a content-but it is better construed non-relationally, since the content is an intrinsic aspect or quality of the expressive vehicle.

The Dynamic Way of Seeing in Goethe and European Thought
The history of western metaphysics from Plato onwards is dominated by the dualism of being and appearance.
