To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To say I feel a sensation, is merely to say that I feel a feeling ; which is an impropriety of speech. And to say I am con- scious of a feeling, is merely to say that I feel it. To have a feeling is to be conscious ; and to be conscious is to have a feeling. To be conscious of the prick of the pin, is merely to have the sensation. And though I have these various modes of naming my sensation, by saying, I feel the prick of a pin, I feel the pain of a prick, I have the sensation of a prick, I hav...e the feeling of a prick, I am conscious of the feeling; the thing named in all these various ways is one and the same. *' The same explanation will easily be seen to apply to ideas. Though at present I have not the sensation called the prick of a pin, I have a distinct idea of it. • Analysis of the Human Mind, i. 170-172.
