To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The thought which we have tried to convey will become clearer as we pro- ceed with the details of the system. Let us, then, concentrate our attention on the Kantian inventory of our mental processes, of our a priori equipment. Kant's Inventory of our Constant Mental Equipment, Our sense-impressions of themselves, yield us a manifold, an ungrouped, irregular, unstructural mass of impressions, utterly meaningless, and bewildering in their multiplicity. If we en- joyed this sensible experience alo...ne, if, that is, the manifold was not " informed " by the mind, our consciousness would be dazed — a prey to an indescribably wild jumble of things, which would course through consciousness without giving us the least information about anything. Now this manifold is reduced to unity and given a definite coherent structure by the spontaneous operations of the mind. At the moment of receiving what would otherwise be a bewildering chaos of impressions, we assert the mental Forms and Categories, thus reducing them to coherence and order.
