To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What we find is not a dualism of mind and matter, but a duality of subject and object in the unity of experience. Experience does not begin with a disconnected ' manifold. ' Sensations not ' subjective modifications ' nor devoid of all '/orm. ' Relation of subject and object : is it causal ? Ambiguity of terms. ' Objective ' used from two standpoints. Various attempts to treat this relation as causal noticed. THE doctrine of conscious automatism, popularised in this country by the late Professo...r Huxley, is the crown- ing tenet of Naturalism, the logical outcome of that theory, for which Descartes prepared the way, the 389 390 REFUTATION OF DUALISM theory, that is to say, which regards the material world as a self-contained whole, primary fundamental, and independent of mind. Minds, then, come to be looked upon as secondary and episodic, merely collateral pro- ducts, that arise as often as matter falls into the appro- priate condition, merely psychoses, that are powerless to react upon their concomitant neuroses.
