To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the lowest stage such instinctive actions are unconscious ; in the higher they give rise to the passions which we do not feel, and which are attributed to the body, although there is always something corresponding to them in the mind. Lastly, above the passions proper " there are distinct inclinations which reason gives to us, whose force and formation we feel." These inclinations do not depend on the body, but express the very nature of the soul ; they correspond to distinct ideas, and are ...veritable activities. " All action is a step towards pleasure, and all passion a step towards pain." As there are three kinds of inclinations, so there are also three kinds of pleasures. There are some pleasures which correspond to our un- conscious inclinations, others which correspond to the passions, and others, lastly — the purest — which correspond to the activity of the mind. Leibniz instituted the Academy of Science in Berlin ; but for his inability to accept the current doctrine of the immutability of the species, he was prevented by the Church from founding a similar Academy in Vienna.
