What reading level is History of the Problems of Philosophy volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Leibnitz distinguishes a materia prima or abstract matter which is purely passive, and a materia secunda or con- crete matter endowed with activity. " This distinction, as the depth of its meaning gradually appears, gives rise to a theory of matter which is presented to us under three forms, each jof which is more metaphysical than the other " (see M. Boutroux's admirable Introduction to the Monadologie, p. 53 sq. ').
By considering extension, in the first place, from the physical, that is, fro
...m Descartes' own point of view, we are able to find a definition of matter which is more profound and more complete than the Cartesian.
Regarded from this point of view the materia prima or bare matter consists of avTiTviria or impenetrability and extension (Erdm. 463). DvTiTi'iria is the attribute in virtue of which matter is in space. Ulud attributum per quod materia est in spatio {Ibid. ). It is a passive resistance, what is called impenetrability, inertia. This property cannot be reduced to extension ; on the contrary, extension is reducible to resistance.
