What reading level is Reconstruction in Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It did not achieve a free and unbiased formulation of the meaning of the power to direct nature's forces through knowledge— that is, purposeful, experimental action acting to reshape be- liefs and institutions. The ancient tradition was still strong enough to project itself unconsciously into men's ways of thinking, and to hamper and compromise the expression of the really modern forces and aims. Es- sential philosophic reconstruction represents an attempt to state these causes and results in a... way freed from incompatible inherited factors. It will regard intelli- gence not as the original shaper and final cause of things, but as the purposeful energetic re-shaper of those phases of nature and life that obstruct social i well-being. It esteems the individual not as an exag-l geratedly self-sufficient Ego which by some magic creates the world, but as the agent who is responsible through initiative, inventiveness and intelligently directed labor for re-creating the world, transforming it into an instrument and possession of intelligence.
