What reading level is The Laws of Discursive Thought book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We cannot form a correct picture of man in the general, for if we make him white we do not include the Negro or Eed Indian ; if we make him black we leave out the Caucasian race ; and if we make him neither black, nor white, nor red, we leave out the whole of these three tribes of mankind. In all cases the phantasm is to be regarded as a mere sign or representa- tion of the result of elaborative thought. It is not of the mere phantasm that we make affirmations or denials, but of the things for ...which it stands as apprehended by the mind. In certain cases the mental image when used as a sign, is quite sufficient to enable us to think accu- rately, that is, when it stands for ideas not far removed from the singular and the concrete. But when the no- tion becomes more and more abstract or general, more especially when it is the idea of spiritual objects or qual- ities, or when it is a composite one, the formation of a mental picture becomes more and more difficult, and at last is seen to be altogether impossible.
