What reading level is A First Course in Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The source of these two postulates is deeper than mere habit resulting from a passive experience; that source is rather a rational nature, which is both theoretic and prac- tical; the need to know, the need to act. The deeper root of these postulates is in our ethical nature. It is the de- mand that nature will not put us to intellectual confusion in our efforts to know, or frustrate our endeavor in the maintenance of life.
Against the rationalist's doctrine, stands the fact, that men who have ...not developed intelligence on the basis of experience do not take nature to be uniform, nor recognize a causal connection in phenomena. Only gradually, and after repeated experiments in dealing with nature, does the idea arise, that there is uniformity and causal connec- tion in nature; these are not discovered until they are looked for. The way in which this connection is produced in the mind, clearly shows that it is no intuition or product of a priori function. The psychological-historical genesis of these beliefs disproves the rationalistic theory of their origin.
