What reading level is Metaphysics, Or, the Science of Perception book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the present we will assert the truth, that Sensation and recurrent Sen- sation, though not our whole thought of the Not-Self, are nevertheless the foundation consciousnesses.
Whether there be more, we will state presently.
CHAPTER XLVII.
SENSATION AS KNOWLEDGE OF SELF.
Self without perception could of course never be discovered. No school is so bent on first truths as to Digitized by VjOOQ IC Chap, xlvii.] Sensation as Knowledge of Self. 241 affirm that a man could be conscious of self with...out ideas. There must be ideas coursing through his mind. And the second great fact we have already treated, viz. that he could never begin ideas without sensation. Sensation, therefore, must at least origi- nate before he could have any ideas of self. And yet sensation never could give any idea of self. We have established this sufficiently. A flash without order, a sense without continuance, could give no dual notion.
And we must have in effect a twin notion, viz. the me and the not-me, as well as the perceiving conscious- ness, before we can assert intelligently either being.
