What reading level is The Approach to Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To understand the virtue of this philosophy as a basis for thereconciliation of different interests, we must recall the relationbetween Plato and Spinoza. Their characteristic difference appears tothe best advantage in connection with mathematical truth. Both regardedgeometry as the best model for philosophical thinking, but for differentreasons. Spinoza prized geometry for its necessity, and proposed toextend it. His philosophy is the attempt to formulate a geometry ofbeing, which shall set fo...rth the inevitable certainties of the universe. Plato, on the other hand, prized geometry rather for its definition oftypes, for its knowledge of pure or perfect natures such as the circleand triangle, which in immediate experience are only approximated. Hisphilosophy defines reality similarly as the absolute perfection. Applied to nature Spinozism is mechanical, and looks for necessary laws, while Platonism is teleological, and looks for adaptation andsignificance. Aristotle's position is intermediate.
