What reading level is The Origin And Nature of the Emotions; Miscellaneous Papers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are now, as there were in Darwin's day, many who feel that man is degraded from his high estate by the con- ception that he is not a reasoning, willing being, the result of a special creation. But one may wonder indeed what con- ception of the origin of man can be more wonderful or more inspiring than the belief that he has been slowly evolved through the ages, and that all creatures have had a part in his development ; that each form of life has contributed and is contributing still to h...is present welfare and to his future advancement.
Recapitulation Psychology, — the science of the human soul and its rela- tions, — under the mechanistic theory of life, must receive a new definition. It becomes a science of man's activities as determined by the environmental stimuli of his phylogeny and of his ontogeny.
On this basis we postulate that throughout the history of the race nothing has been lost, but that every experience of the race and of the individual has been retained for the guidance of the individual and of the race; that for the accomplishment of this end there has been evolved through the ages a nerve mechanism of such infinite delicacy and precision that in some unknown manner it can register per- manently within itself every impression received in the phylogenetic and ontogenetic experience of the individual; that each of these nerve mechanisms or brain patterns has its own connection with the external world, and that each is A MECHANISTIC VIEW OF PSYCHOLOGY 155 attuned to receive impressions of but one kind, as in the apparatus of wireless telegraphy each instrument can receive and interpret waves of a certain rate of intensity only; that thought, will, ego, personality, perception, imagination, reason, emotion, choice, memory, are to be interpreted in terms of these brain patterns; that these so-called phe- nomena of human life depend upon the stimuli which can secure the final common path, this in turn having been de- termined by the frequency and the strength of the environ- mental stimuli of the past and of the present.
