This chapter focuses on the problem that the world does: because a systematic study of the world is beyond our powers, one have to content themselves with mere rules of thumb and with aspects that particularly interest us. The process of recognition can be conceived in essence as comparison and differentiation with the help of memory. Consciousness seems to stream into us from outside in the form of sense-perceptions. The intuitive process is neither one of sense-perception, nor of thinking, nor yet of feeling, although language shows a regrettable lack of discrimination in this respect.
