Analysis (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠an idea was nothing other than stripping from it the form in which it had grown familiar.

Analysis (n.) of ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a concrete thing brings out whatever each person happens to find in his own contingent idea of it — an activity of the thinker, external to the matter.

Analysis (n.) dismembers ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the flower into colour, citric acid, carbon and hydrogen, and then says the plant consists of these parts — but put them back together and it is still not a flower.

Analysis (n.) peels ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a thing like an onion and believes it leaves it as it was — but it turns the concrete into the abstract and kills the living thing, for only what is One is alive.

Analysis (n.) neither ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠merely imports its findings into the thing, as subjective idealism says, nor merely extracts them, as realism says; it is a positing that is at once a presupposing.
