How did Benedetto Croce divide the theoretical forms of spirit?

In his "philosophy of the spirit," Benedetto Croce divided the theoretical forms of the spirit into two distinct moments: the aesthetic and the logical.1

These theoretical forms are part of a broader system that also includes practical forms, which he categorized as economic (or utilitarian) and ethical. Within his early systematic framework, Croce proposed a "circularity" of the spirit, where these moments interact within the structure of consciousness and historical time. Later in his career, Croce moved away from this rigid schematism toward "absolute historicism," where these moments are not fixed structures but are instead concretized within the continuous flow of historical action and thought.1
