To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
375 knowledge of a thing, again, if the expression have any meaning, is to know it by a representative or symbol ; in other words, it is not to know the thing absolutely and directly, but, somehow or other, in- directly. In this way, though our knowledge of hardness be the knowledgre of matter in relation to our minds, it is not a relative knowledge attained by the intervention of something called a quality — such a supposition w^ould just be to fall back again on the old tertiuiii quid, for, i...n such a case, assum- ing that we could be assured of the quality, this is evidently all that we could know. There could be no possible means of connecting the quality with the ESSENCE. In fact, this just converts qualities into the images which were assumed by Hume and his predecessors, coming from bodies to the human mind, as the medium of communication between them — so that, under such a theory, again, we must end in scepticism. But it may be said, that, although this identifica- tion of essence with quality may, indeed, be obvious enough in the case of hardness, yet it does not follow that the same thing can be proved ^dth re- spect to the other senses.
