To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He remains true to his funda- mental idea that before we come to conclusions about any matters we must * ' examine our own abil- ity." He deals first with ideas got by the senses, whether by some one or by their conjoint action. Of these the ideas of solidity, of extension, and of duration are of most concern to us. They form as near an approach to a general philosophy of nature as may be found anywhere in Locke. They are, too, the germ from which grew the ideas of matter, of space, and of time..., which, however more compre- hensive in scope and more amply worked out in detail, characterize succeeding British thought, and which are reproduced to-day by Mr. Spencer. *' The idea of soliditywe r eceive by our touch>" *' The ideas we get by more than one sense are of space or extension, figure, rest, a nd motion ." These sentences contain the brief statement of the chief contention of the sensational school. Locke cer- tainly was not conscious when he wrote them MATTER AND ITS RELATION TO SPIRIT.
