To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I would point to one which it may be not unprofitable for us to consider. I think we shall all admit that the form of a man's thoughts and the kind of ideas which he entertains on any one subject if it is sufficiently important, have a grave effect upon the nature EXPERIENCE AND DOGMA 233 of his judgement in other regions. If a man is profoundly mistaken on some important point of fact, it is not likely that his mind . .. , ... J , A particular will remain the instrument of mdge- delusion af- J... ° fectsamans ment which it ought to be for his other general in- tcllifirGnce * inquiries. If his mistake is small, or if it is concerned with a small thing, then the effect of his error will be small and inappreciable ; and because he is one of a society of which all the members are in error in something, he will pass among the rest and will find correction in the general wisdom. But if his error is profound and obstinate and has reference to an important subject, it cannot leave him as free as other men to form sane judgements upon the rest of ex- perience.
