To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Where one really has in mind the seventh kind of sameness, the elements I have mentioned will be found in it. I. Finally, we come to the perplexing case that I postponed at the outset. What has sameness of the first kind in common with the rest ? How can we speak of similarity when strictly one thing is in question ? Not one thing in the loose sense in which we call a material object one thing in its successive states, nor one in the sense in which the memory image and its original are one, but... one thing as a single element of knowledge is itself at any one instant ? How can the idea of likeness hold here ? Dun- dreary's bird flocking all by itself would seem to have found its philosophical prototype. It may be said that though the thing in question is strictly one, yet we divide it from itself in thought and then affirm it of itself. We give expression to the logical law of identity by saying that x is x. But here the difficulty meets us that, if we are really talking about only the one x, we have said quite all we have to say in merely saying x ; while if, to complete our thought, we must add the second x, we have not an identical proposition, 58 in any strict sense of the word, but a synthetic one.
