To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For war and peace are conceptions with the same general meaning for every country. The " progress" should, then, possess the same general value. What makes us associate the idea or war or peace with " progress " is simply the need of a new argument in support of the belief in the necessity of war or peace. The fact should not be overlooked that the idea of progress is very vague. It affords ample opportunity for association, and it fits well in the incongruous form of our political reasonings. ...One may explain the reason of the association in a psychological sense. We believe that everything in history is progressing towards the fulfilment of some ideal, whose realization lies, of course, beyond our present understanding. Such a con- ception exists in our desire for something better, and it really represents the CHANGE in a wider sense. This meaning of the idea of progress as " change" seems to be the reason of the association. Let us now weigh this conception. Every war brings a change, and peace brings a change too.
