To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now I shall show by and by that it is Nature which alone fulfils this formative function. She it is that posits the creature to his own percep- tion. She fixes him, finites him, or gives him indestructible identity to his own consciousness, so forever discriminating him fi"om the infinite. Unless the spiritual creation were naturally or- ganized, it could never get conscious embodi- ment or existence ; the spiritual creature remain- ing in that case hopelessly destitute of that needful projecti...on from the creator which makes self-consciousness possible to him and so avouches the reality of his creation. For the existence of the creature is quite as necessary to the reality of creation as that of the creator is; and if therefore the former do not present himself in a form quite as validly his own, as that of the creator is validly His own, the problem is in- stantly vacated of all its pith ; that is to say, creation confesses itself a sheer imposture, and slinks off at once into a despicable cowardly Pantheism.
