From Speculations:
https://archive.org/stream/speculations031991mbp/speculations031991mbp_djvu.txtJust as no common purpose can be
aimed at for the conflicting purposes of real
people, so there is no common purpose in the
world.
The world is a plurality.
A unity arrived at by stripping off essentials
is not a unity. Compound is not an inner
reality.
This plurality consists in the nature of
an ash-heap. In this ash-pit of cinders,
certain ordered routes have been made, thus
constituting whatever unity there may be a
kind of manufactured chess-board laid on a
cinder-heap. Not a real chess-board im-
pressed on the cinders, but the gossamer
world of symbolic communication already
spoken of.
