What reading level is Man And the Cosmos; An Introduction to Metaphysics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great scientist has not less but much more intuitive insight than the clodhopper. The great poet has not less but more intuitive vision than the hack writer. The great states- man has not less but more intuition of the political nature of man than the ward boss. In every case the more is due to the more intimate interfusion of reflective intelligence and immediate ex- perience. As Kant put it, percepts without concepts are blind.
But does not science deliberately abstract from the individua...l, and treat it merely as an example of the universal, a junction-point of concepts or laws ? Matter, motion, energy, ether, natural selec- tion, gravitation, with their more specific subsidiary formulae — are not all these categories of science purely abstract general con- ceptions to which the individual is wholly indifferent ! Is not the quest for laws of connection and sequence a search for the universal and a neglect of the particular? For example, must not history, in order to become scientific, relinquish the depiction and interpre- tation of so-called great personalities as creative centers in the historical life ; cease to regard so-called great creative periods such as the Fericlean age of Greece, the Renaissance and Protestant Reformation, as having more inherent significance or mental causality than any other section of history of the same length of time ; and become "sociological" by showing that all such person- alities and individual movements are but the inevitable resultants of universal forces such as economic and climatic factors ?
