What reading level is Course of the History of Modern Philosophy V.1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The svibstance is the foundation of the cause as the cause is the form of the s-ubstance :f the first idea is not the second, but both are inseparable. Thence the gravest conse- quences in metaphysics and ontology. Is God to be considered as a substance purely, and Avhich is not a cause, as Spinosa will have it, or at most as a cause of himself which is not a true cause ?
We thus destroy his power, we destroy the possibility of humanity and that of nature ; we have, like the Eleatics, the infin...ite in it- self, but without any relation to the finite, the absolute without any relation to the relative, unity without diversity. On the other hand, do we plunge in the exclusive idea of the cause, of the cause operative, that is, in the relative, the contingent, the multiple, and do we refuse to go beyond it ? We stop, then, at the form of things, and fail of their essence and of their principle.
We can thus end only in a chimerical theism, or an extravagant theism. True theism is not a dead religion, that forgets pre- cisely the fundamental attribute of God, namely, the creative power, action, and what is derived from it.
