What reading level is An Introduction to Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The idea of Finitism implies an end of time, and therefore an end of happening, change, and volition. Infinitism, on the contrary, opens out a view of an infinite series of events in infinite time, and therefore implies that the will can never come to rest. These ideas will be, respectively, congenial to different men according to temperament. But if we look closely at them, we find it difficult to say which idea is the more intolerable : that of an absolute rest or that of a never-ending restl...essness of the will. Both elements have their emotional value in relation to the finite time-aspects of empirical reality and our varying experience of it. At one time rest is welcome after long unrest ; though it is tolerable only if it does not last too long. By others the struggle, even if it does not attain its end, is gladly welcomed ; yet if such a state of things is conceived absolutely, it threatens to make the will itself illusory. Thus we see that the things which are, certainly real in the finite world of experience become impossibilities the moment they are converted into absolute realities by metaphysical thought.
