What reading level is An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A man who atnoon leaves his purse full of gold on the pavement at Charing-Cross, mayas well expect that it will fly away like a feather, as that he willfind it untouched an hour after. Above one half of human reasoningscontain inferences of a similar nature, attended with more or lessdegrees of certainty proportioned to our experience of the usual conductof mankind in such particular situations.
71. I have frequently considered, what could possibly be the reason whyall mankind, though they have... ever, without hesitation, acknowledged thedoctrine of necessity in their whole practice and reasoning, have yetdiscovered such a reluctance to acknowledge it in words, and have rathershown a propensity, in all ages, to profess the contrary opinion. Thematter, I think, may be accounted for after the following manner. If weexamine the operations of body, and the production of effects from theircauses, we shall find that all our faculties can never carry us fartherin our knowledge of this relation than barely to observe that particularobjects are _constantly conjoined_ together, and that the mind iscarried, by a _customary transition, _ from the appearance of one to thebelief of the other.
