What reading level is Philosophy Its Scope And Relations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, we do not commonly expect to get this light by looking backwards ; but either by reflect- ing more carefully and profoundly on the facts provisionally systematised and our present concep- vi PHILOSOPHY AND HISTORY 129 tions of these, or by looking more carefully, with the present resources of experiment and observation, at the world as it is here and now before us ; or rather by both processes combined.
It seems to me, therefore, that the methods and conclusions of mathematics and rational ph...ysics cannot be materially affected by the historical method. In order to establish this decisively, I have allowed myself briefly to consider together in reference to these sciences both applications of the historical method the application to things as well as that to thoughts. In the rest of the present discussion I shall, for clearness, confine myself to the history of fact, leaving the history of thought, on the subjects to which I shall now proceed, for a subsequent lecture.
For what I have said of the complete exclusion of the historical method from rational physics as an abstract science is, I admit, no longer applicable when we contemplate the physical universe as a particular concrete fact and seek for an explanation of its con- creteness and particularity : when we ask why there should be seventy or more different kinds of matter distributed in what appears to be so arbitrary and irregular a manner through the spherical mass OE which we are carried about in space, and why there should be as astronomy declares a no less apparently irregular and arbitrary distribution of this or other matter through the rest of space.
