What reading level is The Philosophy of Bergson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This view that change is constituted by a series of changing states he calls cinematographic ; this view, he says, is natural to the intellect, but is radically vicious. True change can only be explained by true duration ; it involves an interpenetration of past and present, not a mathematical succession of static states. This is what is called a " dynamic " instead of a " static " view of the world. The question is important, and in spite of its difficulty we cannot pass it by.
Bergson's posit...ion is illustrated — and what is to be said in criticism may also be aptly illustrated — by Zeno's argument of the arrow. Zeno argues that, since the arrow at each moment simply is where it is, thereforethe arrow in its flight is always at rest. At first sight, this argument may not appear a very powerful one. Of course, it will be said, the arrow is where it is at one moment, but at another moment it is somewhere else, and this is just was constitutes motion.
i8 Certain difficulties, it is true, arise out of the continuity of motion, if we insist upon assuming that motion is also dis- continuous.
