English term or phrase: thingish
Nella penultima riga, tra asterischi...

Though we can guesswork up some history and feel things through in front of us, the situation never was and/or, but always both. The colors of these countries embody a spirit, even with the hand mostly removed, a real person and not some Modernist purity of the unrevealed geometry of reality, some eternal Platonic balderdash. We’ve happily almost left those myths behind, but here still is a human being figuring out with ***thingish*** ideas and notional material some meaning that refuses to be nailed down so easily.

oggettive
Explanation:
direi più 'idee oggettive', concrete
guarda questo altro contesto (anche se il sito è abbastanza strano...)

"When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.?"

Mi chiedo poi cosa sia -ish, un suffisso non inglese? un relitto germanico? o la crasi di una parola?

Su 'idea tangibile' ho qualche perplessità.. visto che un'idea non è qualcosa di concreto

agree  Danila Moro: sicuramente meglio di "obiettivo", potrebbe essere questo il senso, anche se è un testo complesso e bisognerebbe capire meglio che cosa vuol dire.... :)
