To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence the deepest assertion of idealism is not that above all the evil powers in the world there is at work some good power mightier than they, but rather that through all the powers, good and evil, and in them all, dwells the higher spirit that does not so much create as constitute them what they are, and so include them all. How all this is to be more fully explained, and how it is to be justified, if at aU, by idealism, we shall see further on. But for the present we may suggest that such id...ealism as this has a peculiar ad- vantage in dealing with the problems that we found insoluble in the discussion of the world of the Powers. There we found a world of contending elementary forces. A, B, C, etc. As contending powers they must needs appear finite. If one was good, another was or might be evil. And as we had to deal only with the ^-arring elements, the thought that partial evil may, after all, be universal good seemed not very plausible, and quite indemonstrable. The world being the collection of the powers that are in it, the good and evil of the whole seemed to be the sum of the separate good and evil elements.
