To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A hidden core of changeless existence, a "thing-like" substrate, at which self-consciousness can never get, and which must be supposed to lie dormant and incapable of ever making itself THE IMPLICATES OF KNOWLEDGE 349 known beneath the so-called phenomenal Ego, may well enough be denied. There are, indeed, no facts of self-knowl- edge to guarantee a Kantian Ding-an-sichheit for the con- scious subject of those processes in which the facts consist. But that I am, that I was, and that I have been..., a con- scious, living Self, are ontological propositions which are involved in all my present cognitive experience. Some sort of merely sensuous or ideational existence, some dream- like being with a certain show of shrewd intelligence, might be had without establishing a right to posit its own reality. Were this the sum-total of man's accredited experiences, his metaphysical postulates and beliefs would, no doubt, be ex- ceedingly meagre, if, indeed, any postulates and beliefs arose, for critical examination, above the horizon of his conscious life.
