By that I do not mean to say we can

By that I do not mean to say we can separate one from the other. Rather, the intellectual methods that distinguish the entire work are identical to the methods we find in these chapters. It is just that they are pressed much farther than in the other parts of the work. They penetrate to its substance they give it its existence. We might say that the exposition suffers doubly under the burden of this reasoning effort. It presents peculiarities of a logical and even philological sort that have sometimes earned him criticism from scholars; their presence can be explained by the intense work of elaboration that pervades the text.
