What reading level is An Organismal Theory of Consciousness book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are often reminded that our knowledge about our in- ternal organs, our heart, liver, lungs, et cetera, comes only through observations by the anatomist and physiologist; that we are quite unconscious of these organs in our own bodies, especially if they are working normally. Now I point out that to be perceptually conscious of a liver, let us say, as a specialized morphological entity performing its appropriate functions, is a very different matter from being conscious of those primal, undif...ferentiated processes which are basal to life itself, and so are common to all the tissues whether liver, muscle, brain, or what not, so long as they are actually living. That that which is truly organic, in the sense of pertaining to the fully constituted organism, must be regarded from this standpoint as well as from the stand- point of their final state of differentiation, is one of the common-places of modern biology. Let a person in as near- ly perfect health as he ever experiences, do his best to elimi- nate all external and internal stimuli of his specialized sensory parts ; also all remembering, all feeling of the usual 52 An Organismal Tlieory of Consciousness kind, all imagining, and all thinking.
