What reading level is Some Influences in Modern Philosophic Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So it is — for the man that follows it. A high- minded philosopher of this school, like Nietzsche himself, becomes insane; a low- minded philosopher of this school, like D'Annunzio, falls into animalism. If the current system of morality be an illusion, it is at any rate an illusion that protects the man and the race that hold it. If the rejection of tradition and rule in the effort to play the game for one's self be enlight- enment, it is the enlightenment that leads to the ditch on the one ha...nd or the quag- mire on the other. Whatever may be the errors or the dangers in the complacent 68 POLITICS AND ETHICS optimism of English philosophers, they have proved infinitely less destructive than the complacent, not to say brutal, pessi- mism of their brethren on the Continent.
Both these modes of thought appear to be giving place to a new philosophy, or perhaps I should rather say, to a new view of life, known by the somewhat unfortu- nate name of pragmatism. Of this phi- losophy, which is essentially a development of John Morley's theory of toleration, William James was the first popular advo- cate.
