What reading level is A Pluralistic Universe book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It lies along their intervals, inhabits whatyour definition fails to gather up, and thus eludes conceptualexplanation altogether.
'When the mathematician, ' Bergson writes, 'calculates the state ofa system at the end of a time _t_, nothing need prevent him fromsupposing that betweenwhiles the universe vanishes, in order suddenlyto appear again at the due moment in the new configuration. It isonly the _t_-th moment that counts--that which flows throughout theintervals, namely real time, plays no... part in his calculation. . . . Inshort, the world on which the mathematician operates is a world whichdies and is born anew at every instant, like the world which Descartesthought of when he spoke of a continued creation. ' To know adequatelywhat really _happens_ we ought, Bergson insists, to see into theintervals, but the mathematician sees only their extremities. Hefixes only a few results, he dots a curve and then interpolates, hesubstitutes a tracing for a reality.
This being so undeniably the case, the history of the way in whichphilosophy has dealt with it is curious.
