What reading level is The Open Court 32, No.740 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is understood that those who call themselves agnostics are really infidels ; as a rule they do not believe at all, but prefer the more modest and non-committal name of "not knowers," for it is more convenient not to take a definite standpoint in order to avoid controversy on a topic which they do not care to discuss.
TiUt agnosticism bears on its face the stamp of transition ; it char- acterizes a stage which is transient. It is too obviously a mere make- shift to prevent its negativism from... being replaced by some positive affirmation.
In the course of events agnosticism led to pragmatism which promised a new conception of truth, but this new conception is practically a denial of truth as an objective authority. It degrades truth to a mere subjectivism. F'ragmatists contend that if an idea works within my own experience, if it serves my ends, it is to be accepted as true, at least for me and pragmatists assume that that is all there is to truth.
On this basis real science becomes obviously impossible, for science would be a consensus, not of those who know anything about the subject in question, but of the most powerful and most influential minds of the age.
