To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To foresee what will happen, to prepare us for action that we may know what we are going to do and what will happen in consequence, is the proper business of the intellect. In ordinary life our intellect is occupied in finding that which is like what we already know, and thus enabling common sense to provide for or against the future. Both as practical men and as scientific men we are concerned only with that which seems to repeat itself. The scientific man cuts up every original event with whi...ch he deals into phenomena more or less closely reproducing past phenomena. Whatever in it cannot thus be analysed, whatever in short is theoretically irreversible and irreducible, he is obliged to neglect. So it comes about that, trained as we are in practical life or science or both, we must resist the natural disposition of the intellect if we are ever to lay hold upon the original and essential character of life ; for this, assuredly, is both irreducible and irre- versible. We must, in short, seek the discipline of philosophy.
