What reading level is The Helpful Science book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If any one who sees that the loss of an eye would modify his state of being here and now, does not also see that such a truth 92 THE HELPFUL SCIENCE must also apply everywhere and everywhen — as before said — then his faculty of mental vision is one I do not envy.
For if we think of what the condition of things must have been a long time ago — in the days of Julius Caesar, or when palaeo- lithic implements were first fashioned — ^we shall see that the law of contradiction is as sure and certain... with respect to the past as it is with respect to the present. We do not "M/«^/*we actually ** know" with '^cer- tainty^' that had Julius Caesar been dfowned off the coast of England he could not also have been assassinated by Brutus in the Roman Senate; and that if an early palaeolithic flint man was holding a flint in his hand he could not at the very same time have had both his hands empty. The same certainty exists as to the most distant re- gions. We are quite sure that the moon's sur- face cannot be both irregular and absolutely smooth ; and that the spectrum of a remote star, which shows certain definite lines, can- not, at the same time, be devoid of them.
