The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
That there is indeed evidence in immediate experience of two levels of concreteness is one thing; that there is also evidence of two levels of feeling, something else.
To be sure, whenever I experience I also feel other feeling -- namely, my own, as in immediately prior occasions of experience. And in this respect, clearly, feeling is present both at the level of subject and at the level of object. But I never experience only myself, in the sense of my own past feelings; I always also experience others than myself. And whether in this respect, too, feeling is feeling of feeling is just the question, for answering which, so far as I can see, appeals to immediate experience fail to provide evidence.
