What reading level is The Science & Philosophy of the Organism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The next step leads from men to higher animals which show at least some similarities in behaviour, and we even may be led to the lowest organisms in this way as far as their behaviour in acting is concerned.
But, of course, such a method of demonstration would fail as soon as phenomena of the instinctive or metabolical or morphogenetic kind are studied, and it is here that the indirect proof, as applied by us in so many of the previous lectures, is the only one admissible.
" Understanding " Vit
...alism The present rather subtle discussions have not been undertaken with the object merely of proving vitalism as a fact of theoretical biology; I hope at least that this has been done suflSciently by our previous analytical researches.
Our object is philosophical in this section and not merely scientific: we did not want here to prove vitalism but to prepare its epistemological jiistification, which is much more.
If in fact we have got a direct sort of proof of the autonomy of life-phenomena, or at least of some of them, by a mere analysis of phenomenological Givenness, by an analysis of the complete series of conscious events as such, by an analysis of self-consciousness, in other words, we can fairly claim THE DIRECT JUSTIFICATION OP ENTELECHY 285 that now we understand vitalistic becoming on the basis of our most intimate psychological experience.
