To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ance, the inward echo of an outward cause. We notice that a more intense sensation generally corresponds to a greater nervous disturbance ; but inasmuch as these disturbances are uncon- scious as movements, since they come before con- sciousness in the guise of a sensation which has no resemblance at all to motion, we do not see how they could transmit to the sensation anything of their own magnitude. For there is nothing in common, we repeat, between superposable magnitudes such as, for exampl...e, vibration- amplitudes, and sensations which do not occupy CHAP, i AFFECTIVE SENSATIONS 33 space. If the more intense sensation seems to us to contain the less intense, if it assumes for us, like the physical impression itself, the form of a magnitude, the reason probably is that it retains something of the physical impression to which it corresponds. And it will retain nothing of it if it is merely the conscious translation of a movement of molecules ; for, just because this movement is translated into the sensation of pleasure or pain, it remains unconscious as molecular movement.
