What reading level is Agnosticism And Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nay, more, the sense-element of Knowledge is of less consequence than the thought- element. Sensations alone convey no PHILOSOPHICAL AGNOSTICISM 99 information to us ; they are dumb and blank. It is reason which, present at every point with sense, reads into the impressions of eye and ear and touch notions that give them meaning and make them significant reports of an ob- jective world. A purely sensitive con- sciousness could know nothing ; it could not even apprehend its sensations ; for appr...ehension is impossible without cate- gories of thought to discriminate and classify. If Knowledge were made up of sensations merely, it would cease to be Knowledge. Thus sensationalism, if logically carried out, not only leads to religious scepticism but to universal nes- cience. It is the lion's cave, from which there are no tracks outwards. It may seem strange that the Agnostic scientist should rest in a theory which is not more fatal to theology than to science ; but this only shows in what a lack of rigorous thinking his religious creed was engendered and what immunity from criticism any fashionable cult enjoys.
