[continued]

This* sort of speculative reflection seems useful in that it enables one to explore the general by reference to the particular: both particular circumstances and particular symbols etc.. The writing is generally both an exposition of an idea that comes fully formed, without being worked through; and an attempt to analyse, support** and criticise the idea. While I am writing, other ideas will arise, some following the main line of reflection, others branching out in new lines; unfortunately, I forget a lot of these, particularly the new lines, before I am ready to write them; but I suspect that they arise again later, just as some of them have arisen before.

*[See last previous entry(/ies).]

**(e.g. by argument and application.)
