To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our preceding discussions have regarded men and women as products, — prod- ucts of heredity and environment ; we have now to regard them as producing, — producing to a degree both themselves and others. Hitherto we have lost sight of the man himself we were seeking to make ; now we have to recognize him as contributing to his own making. The term " individuality " would thus be a synonym for " will " as one of the three elemental processes in man-making. Especially are we to avoid the idea that... " the will " is " a faculty " of mind dis- tinct from other so-called " faculties," such as intel- lect, memory, reason, and emotion. All the functions of consciousness are interrelated ; they constitute one organic unity, one conscious personality, and "the will" is the name for the fact that consciousness is an agent. Consciousness is a knowing, sensitive _ agent. It is this agency phase of consciousness that consti- tutes our unique individuality; we are individuated in space by our bodies, in character by our purposes and deeds.
