To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
§ 49. Necessity. The Principle of Sufficient Eeason in all its forms is the sole principle and the sole support of all necessity. For ^necessity has no other true and distinct meaning than that of the infallibility of the consequence when the reason is posited. Accordingly every necessity is conditioned : abso- lute, i.e., unconditioned, necessity therefore is a contradicto in adjecto. For to he necessary can never mean anything l)ut to result from a given reason. By defining it as ''* what can...not not be," on the other hand, we give a mere verbal definition, and screen ourselves behind an extremely abstract conception to avoid giving a definition of the thing. But it is not difficult to drive us from this refuge lay inquiring how the non-existence of anything can be possible or even conceivable, since aU existence is only ^ven empirically. It then comes out, that it is only possible so far as some reason or other is posited or present, from which it follows. To be necessary and to follow from 3, given reason, are thus convertible conceptions, and may a,lways, as such, be substituted one for the other.
