What reading level is Henri Bergson a Study in Radical Evolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One is that the factors involved in bringing about change or evolution, namely natural selection and hered- ity, are so-called natural factors, that is, they are blind or mechanical in their operation. In the second place, their activity is merely nega- tive and critical, not creative or productive : they merely destroy ill-adapted forms, and at most maintain those which happen to be well ad- justed to the conditions under which they are to exist. Their function, if we may say so, is not produc...tive, but only permissive.
Well, it does not take an unusual power of re- flection to see that a purely critical and destruc- tive agency cannot account for the continual origination of things, although it may very well account for their survival after they have once come into existence. It is plain that in order for an executioner to have employment he must have subjects. In order for the forces of nature to eliminate forms, there must be forms to eliminate — there must be a tendency on the part of nature to produce organisms and varia- tions before the environment can begin its se- lective and destructive industry.
