To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This pure Perception is the idea of space>^As Kant says, " the conception of space is the Digitized by VjOOQIC LEONARDO 169 form in which our senses perceive, and is innate in us before ever a ccmcrete object has impressed onr senses in any one particular direction."*' I do not wish to-day to embark upon metajAysical discussions : and so I lay hold upon a ccmcrete argument. You are aware that Natural Science has been developing itself, unhappily, out of touch with Kant, — ^for the most part in ...violent opposition to all philosophy : even such a man as Helmholtz, who busied himself much with Kant, yet in many essential points utterly misunderstood him ;*^ now I should like you to take up the work of one of the most ralnd anti-metaphysicians of our day, yet a pre-emin^it and trustworthy investigator ; Mach's Afuifyse der Empfindungen (The Anal]^ of Sensations). Here you will find, p. 93 of the 2nd edition, 1900 (104 of the 4th), the assurance that the biological and psycho- logical investigations of the nineteenth century have led to the conviction that '' the perception of space is bom with us." As we do not propose to go deeper into this subject, this testimony, whidi is above suspicion, may suffice ; it comes from a quarter in which for a whole century men have been laboiuring to prove the contrary.
