To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Unless there be on both sides a perfect consciousness of self and of other, and of the relations of self and other — in a word, a perfect mutual understanding — there will be, so far, no completely social relation. A social relation is a self-conscious relation. § 65. All this follows, as you will see, directly from the conception of the conscious individual. A relation of ideas is itself an idea, — never a mere relation, but an idea of relation. This is the only relation that ideas can be conc...eived to have. It is admittedly absurd to say that one idea Kes north or south of another; it should be equally absurd to say that one is later than another. For ideas as such are related, not temporally, but logi- cally, as expression of one inclusive conscious meaning. Social Consciousness loi Apart from this idea of relation the different chapters of a book, for example, are related only as so many facts of paper and ink. So of any group of men. The fact of spatial congregation expresses truly enough the rela- tion of their physical bodies, but except as they are aware of themselves as a group they have, as ideas, or minds, or persons, no relation whatever.
