To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, of course, this * faculty ' is not some- thing separate ; thought cannot be taken as a part, merely, of our conscious life, but must be viewed as one aspect of all experience. And, hi this way, the thought-aspect comes to be opposed to the feeling-aspect, intellect to feeling, taken, in the first instance, mainly as sensation. But, of course, when we consider the con- stituents of the ideational continuum our ' ideas, ' in the narrower sense of fainter images which are the vehicle of thoug...ht it is plain that, as psychical existences, they are on exactly the same level, are as truly feelings as ' sensations ' pure and simple, from which they are distinguished, as Hume said, only by their smaller intensity. The element immediately characterising the feel- ing-side of our consciousness is quality ; sentience, as such, is a play of mere sense qualities. And equally characteristic of the thought-aspect is that to which it has been endeavoured to reduce all thought, viz. , relation ; ' relational thinking ' and ' the relating activity of mind ' are phrases which indicate this characteristic.
