To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not know my own father ! He, too, has a character in him which I do not know at all ; and yet it is that, in him that, that I believe I know, that I think I know, that I know I know. I am to understand, for all that, that the reality I should know is altogether different from the actuality I do know ! No doubt, circumstances can be conceived in which I do not know how he might have acted, as I do not know what this unknown object which you offer me might do if exposed to fire, or water, or... acid, or alkali : nay, the very object most familiarly known to me, I do not know how it might act in circumstances quite strange to me. But what then ? Does it follow that it is but the apparition, the ghost of a Thing-in-itself? All that is very sorry stuff, poor skimble-skamble stuff, all that that poses and proses about the impossibility 162 WHAT IS THOUGHT? of knowing what substance is. Of course, even as used, substance has a meaning, and, of course, even as used, thing-in-itself has a meaning ; but the true meaning of either the one or the other that is common to the whole of us as ordinary human beings, it would seem impossible for us as philosophers at all to recognise !
