To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is symptomatic that space, which once appeared to man simply as something which was not there, something left over after mass had defined itself, now becomes the essential element in which and with which we must operate. Traditional forms of language and traditional forms of aesthetic expression (and also, of course, traditional forms of social behavior) can no longer cope with this situation. Just as new symbols emerge in scientific and philosophical discourse, so new aesthetic symbols are ...called into being in such a climate. Sometimes we look back with nostalgic longing to a period when it was more possible to make the definitions which we search for today. No ques- tion is directed more frequently or more pointedly to the critic than one which aims at uncovering the standards he uses, the measurements he applies to his judgments. Even when he attempts to define these ( as I did in the introduction to the 1961 Festival exhibition at the University of Illinois ), he generally ends up by knocking the foundation out from under himself and gives his own critics ample grounds for attack by admitting the profoundly subjective quality of the judgments he makes and the standards he assumes.
