What reading level is The Individual And Reality; An Essay Touching the First Principles of Metaphysics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Absolute is a " substitute-fact " (concepts are facts as good as any others) with which sentient reality does not agree. It is a concept, then, which is erroneous (Part I. Chap. II. 15 and 19), but its usefulness, withal, is not to be gainsaid. It serves as a foil over against which the truth shows in bold relief. It stimulates controversy, which enriches the sphere of mind. The universe would be poorer had this kind of concept not appeared.
AND THE FORMULA OF CONTRADICTION CANNOT COMPENSAT...E FOR OUR LACK OF EXPERIENCE Sentient reality, as we have it, does not show the Absolute. Why, then, should we believe in it ? The reply is not far to seek. It is contended that change implies contradiction, and that the contradictory cannot stand. The Real cannot be contradictory : this is the formula or maxim of contradiction as it steps out of logic into metaphysics. We have retorted by urging that logic (one of our " many inventions ") is the science of propositions in so far as these latter subserve the end of inferring truth.
