2.4. A process of finding out.-
No idea is exactly what it appears in the linguistic form in which it is expressed1. There is always something which is behind the linguistic form, and which goes deeper; and it is the function of interpretation to see that this is made explicit. In this process (which is a process of finding out), we come to grips with the subject in all its wealth of inter-relations, and with particular aspects which, perhaps, we never suspected to exist, though they are closely bound up with the ideas.
