To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The correction of it is the science of nervous structure and motion. Thus, confining ourselves entirely to in- ternal operations, the locality of which is not accessible to external observation, I am conscious of the pain of hunger somewhere in the region of the stomach ; science reduces this indefinite verdict to definiteness by proving the connection of the nerves of that region with the brain. Consciousness again says indefinitely, ' I think in my head ' ; science tells me, ' Yes, in your br...ain.' Here science only corrects consciousness : it does not contradict it. Consciousness apprehends the indefinite region at work, science discovers the definite nervous structure in the direction of that region. Secondly, unless consciousness apprehended the region, science could not assign the nervous structure ; if we were not already conscious of reasoning in the head, anatomy would not convince us that we reason in the brain. Thirdly, sometimes consciousness apprehends the region without science having yet discovered the nervous structure ; for example, we are conscious, in what is inadequately called muscular sense, not indeed of mus- cular motion but of the action of our limbs, though but vaguely and indefinitely ; but on this occasion science is still more vague and indefinite, having dis- covered the nervous mechanism of muscular motion, but not of muscular sense.
