What reading level is Idealism And the Modern Age book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" And the further you go on the journey from "impressions" to "ideas, " the further do you become separated from reality. Ideas are not cognitive at all. So much of the fabric of "custom and imagination" have entered into the substance of ideas, that they are separated by a long interval from impressions, and have ceased to participate in an objective order. They belong only to the mind as a witness to the manner in which the mind responds to the stimuli of impressions. One sees the analogy bet...ween Hume's thought on these matters and the way in which the conation, the conscious striving of any organism, is often pictured. It is assumed that the environment, through a stim- ulus which presents a problem to the organism, upsets its equilib- rium and sets in motion a conation, a vital series, a striving which is pictured essentially as a process occurring within the organism. Mental striving tends to realize itself, to recover the equilibrium of the vital series. Now, in this way of viewing the matter we are, I think, in danger of falling into the same error in which Hume and all subjectivism fall.
