What reading level is James Frederick Ferrier book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The faith-philosophy which professed to know reality through the senses, when these senses were a part of the external universe, or signified taking for granted the matter in dispute, was utterly repugnant to Ferrier. 1'he Unknowable of Sir William Hamilton was incon- ceivable to him, and he ever kept this theory and its errors in his mind, while developing a system of his own. It is better that a philosophic system should grow up thus, instead of coming to us from without in language hard to u...nderstand because of foreign idioms and un- wonted modes of expression. To be of use, a philo- sophy should speak the language of the people : until it becomes identified with ordinary ways of thinking, its influence is never really great ; and the Idealism of Germany has in this country always suffered from being intelligible only to the few. Therefore we hold all credit due to Ferrier for consistently refusing to adopt the phraseology of a foreign country, and setting himself, heart and soul, to find expression for his thoughts in the language of his birth.
