What reading level is The Sphere of Science; a Study of the Nature And Method of Scientific Investigation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
F. Wright, of Oberlin, in an excellent paper on the ** Uncertainties of Science,'' well summarizes this whole matter as follows : ** The classification of 1 40 The Sphere of Science plants and animals expresses, not facts, but the judg- ment of individual botanists and zoologists as to the relative importance of certain features of resemblance and diversity. So that, whether we shall call a class of plants or animals a variety, a species, or a genus, depends not only on the meaning we give thos...e words, but upon our estimate of the permanence and im- portance of the peculiarities marking the class. This uncertainty about the limitation of species does not decrease with the increase of knowledge. It is just those who know most of botany and zoology who have the deepest sense of their own ignorance as to the precise relationship of one plant or animal with another.** The limitations that beset the path of the scientific investigator nowhere more impressively present them- selves than when we come to examine the fundamental terms used in science and raise the question as to what they really signify.
