What reading level is The First Principles of Knowledge book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In The Physical Basis of Mind.
346 SPECIAL TREATMENT OF CERTITUDE.
Every one of the unconscious processes is operant, changes the general state of the organism, and is capable of at once issuing in a discriminated sensa- tion, when the forces which balance it are disturbed. I was unconscious of the scratch of my pen in writing the last sentence, but I am distinctly con- scious of every scratch in writing this one. Then as now, the scratching sound sent a faint thrill through my organism, but it...s relative intensity was too faint for discrimination ; now that I have redistributed the co-operant forces, by what is called an act of attention, I hear distinctly every sound the pen produces. The consciousness by Descartes erected into an essential condition of thought was by Leibnitz reduced to an accompani- ment, which not only may be absent, but in the majority of cases is absent. The teaching of most modern psychologists is, that consciousness forms but a small item in the total of psychical pro- cesses ; " a doctrine illustrated by George Eliot in the important part which that author makes uncon- scious influences exert in the play and the formation of character.
