What reading level is The Essentials of Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
• Now the majority of critical thinkers to-day are of the opinion that Hume's position involves solipsism.
But we all feel that a position that involves solipsism is imperfect, that it has not solved the problem of knowledge.
In fact, I am inclined to regard solipsism as one of the crucial tests of a theory of knowledge. If it leads to such an absurdity, we must think again.
If we cannot apprehend an independent reality either directly (Natural Realism) or indirectly (representative realism), h...ow can we know anything outsjde of our own consciousness? But other selves are in the same situation as the physical world; for they are by definition inde- pendent realities. He who has failed to solve the problem of knowledge for the one has failed for the other. Knowl- edge seems to involve an impossible transcendence of one's own consciousness. Can it be denied that reflection faces genuine problems?
Kant's Appeal to Consciousness-In-General. — The British empiricists held to mental pluralism to the last though the rejection of representative realism logically landed them in solipsism.
