To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the same notion of what a group is, one has no choice but to say that so far as indicating a unity in the group it is a mere name, only so much breath; and that so far as having any reality of its own it is real in an absolutely different sphere. Simply, if things are not intrinsically related, then ideas as mind's ways of relating or unifying them must belong to a world quite their own; the world of things and the world of ideas, or, more generally, matter and mind, must be two wholly distinct... kingdoms of reality. Furthermore, if ideas have such an alien ex- istence, then are they not only formal, but also interesting merely as so much knowledge, and always expressed in a medium as alien or abstract as they. As formal, they are rather that in which things are known than a knowledge of things themselves ; they have no meaning in recognition of individuality;^ and they make possible the sort of classification, criticised above, that identifies unlikes and sep- arates likes. Formalism could hardly be better defined than in this way, — unity without regard to differences, or differences undetermined by unity.
