What reading level is A First book in Metaphysics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The definition of science. — ^We have now all the data at hand from which to formulate a complete defi- nition of science in the narrow sense. First, sdence, like other types of information, consists of an array of propositions but differs from all other tj^pes in that it forms an explicit and a demonstrated system. It is knowledge and not faith. Secondly, science differs from other systems of propositions in being an explanation of facts. It is not an isolated proposition, such as the assertio...n, "Two plus two equals four;" rather it is the assertion, "Two plus two equals four, explains or ac- counts for some other truth." Thirdly, science is con- fined in its explanation to propositions which assert non-values: for example, science explains what exists and why it exists but does not ascertain what is valuable or why it has a value. More rigorously expressed, science does not explain the facts called values, nor does it assume premises which assert values. Hence our THE NATUKE OF SCIENCE 6l complete definition: (a) Science in the narrow sense is the explicit and demonstrated explanation of all facts that are non-values; (b) Science in the broad sense is the explicit and demonstrated explanation of all perceived truth.
