Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... given "this ". But, if we fail here, the "this" has forthwith ceased to be really self-contained and particular to itself. So far as I can judge from observation, this last result is certainly the given fact. At least on the side of the past the "now's" limit is wavering, and we experience in change a "now" at once both within and without itself as something which at once is and was. And here without remedy the claim made for the "this" seems ruined. However it may offer itself otherwise, its character actually is not self-confined and unique. If we are asked then if the " this " is unique as being something positive and self-comprised, we must reply by a distinction.

And further we are forced on inspection even to admit that, while the "this" comes to us as unique, it also comes to us as otherwise, and offers itself also as passing beyond itself. In any case to take the "this" as a mere particular was a position (we saw) in which we can not and ought not to remain. So far therefore we are unable to justify a claim made on behalf of the "this" to absolute uniqueness.

But what in the end this " something " is we are unable to say; and, attempting here to advance, we do but turn in a maze of repeated dilemmas.
