What reading level is The Problem of Things in Themselves book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A fact exists at the point where the hammer hits the nail. But at the time when my perception-fact exists (this sharp metallic sound), that fact at the nail-point has ceased to exist. The hammer is raised there, there is no agitation of air-waves. If you are standing two hundred feet away, then your datum of perception, again a sharp metal- lic sound, exists at a still later moment, when both the fact at the nail-point and my sound-datum have ceased to exist.
This then, generalized, is the situ...ation. A fact exists from which influences radiate. That is the 'thing' of science. At the instant when the causal influence is producing certain events in my brain (or very close to that instant) the qualities which make up my perception-fact exist. At or very close to the instant when another similar causal influence from the thing is producing similar events in your brain similar qualities exist as your perception-fact. So much is unquestioned by any one who examines the actual situation.
But now, how is it that the data of perception seem not merely to 'reveal, ' but to be, the things themselves which science stud- ies, seem to be 'out there' where the things are which send their influences to the brain?
