What reading level is Essays in Radical Empiricism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Radical empiricism has, in fact, more affini- ties with natural realism than with the views of Berkeley or of Mill, and this can be easily shown.
For the Berkeleyan school, ideas (the verbal equivalent of what I term experiences) are dis- continuous. The content of each is wholly im- manent, and there are no transitions with which they are consubstantial and through which their beings may unite. Your Memorial Hall and mine, even when both are percepts, are wholly out of connection with each oth...er.
1 [Cf. " How Two Minds CanKnowOne Thing, " below, pp. 123-136. ] 76 WORLD OF PURE EXPERIENCE Our lives are a congeries of solipsisms, out of which in strict logic only a God could compose a universe even of discourse. No dynamic currents run between my objects and your objects. Never can our minds meet in the same.
The incredibility of such a philosophy is flagrant. It is 'cold, strained, and unnatural* in a supreme degree; and it may be doubted whether even Berkeley himself, who took it so religiously, really believed, when walking through the streets of London, that his spirit and the spirits of his fellow wayfarers had absolutely different towns in view.
