To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then let the animal do his best, and let us apply the words reflection, memory, consciousness, sagacity, to what he does, he still does nothing that a brain cannot do without a personal soul. The words w T e apply do not represent the peculiar characteristics of a soul ; even the word reflection, though it enjoys an exaggerated value, is not inappropriate to express the cogitations of some observing animals. The human brain repeats these animal powers because it repeats the corresponding organs.... Take away from man his additional organs and take away his soul, and the rest of his brain would perform its conscious functions as successfully as the highest animal's, since such is the . Brain's pre- destined quality. Now add the other organs to man's brain ; have we not involved ourselves to the extent of admitting that they also could operate, in common with the rest of the brain, without a soul ? No ; because their action does not depend upon circum- stances and external impressions. The whole power of the animal brain is consumed in an accommoda- tion to earthly circumstances, relating to nature or to man.
