To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Such rela- tions as one of these separate things appears to have, are looked upon as quite secondary, even if they are ap- prehended at all. This is the stage of naive, imcritical knowledge. It lies below the horizon of the intellectual life. It is characteristic of the child and of the countless millions of unreflecting adults. It has been dignified by the name conmion sense. Its proper designation is com- mon ignorance. The intellectual life begins when it is left behind. At the second stage ...or order of thinking the world ap- pears as something quite different. Instead of a world of fixed and definite objects whose interrelations are unim- portant, the mind now sees that every thing is in relation to every other thing and that relations are of massive sig- nificance, indeed that they are controlling. The elm tree, far from being a simple and single imit, is now recognized as an organic form of being, a congeries of cells, of atoms of carbon, of oxygen, of hydrogen, no one of which the im- aided human eye can see, much less the imtutored human mind grasp.
