>that my imagination places one state before and the other after
according to the understanding obviously
>A philosophical system cannot come forward armed at all points like a mathematical treatise, and hence it may be quite possible to take objection to particular passages, while the organic structure of the system, considered as a unity, has no danger to apprehend. But few possess the ability, and still fewer the inclination, to take a comprehensive view of a new system. By confining the view to particular passages, taking these out of their connection and comparing them with one another, it is easy to pick out apparent contradictions, especially in a work written with any freedom of style. These contradictions place the work in an unfavourable light in the eyes of those who rely on the judgement of others, but are easily reconciled by those who have mastered the idea of the whole.

>Similarly, Plato abandoned the world of the senses because it presents so many obstacles to understanding. He ventured beyond it on the wings of ideas, into the empty realm of pure intellect. He failed to notice that his endeavors yielded no progress, for he lacked any resistance—a foundation, as it were—against which to brace himself and apply his faculties to advance understanding.
