What reading level is An Examination of President Edwardss Inquiry On the Freedom of the Will book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is a point of high importance, in all discussions relating to the properties, powers, and actions, of beings and things which have real existence. It is so easy to form definitions, that if they could be admitted to take the place of argument, the management of controversies might be reduced within very narrow limits. In the pure mathematics, where the very foundations of the science are suppositions, these, expressed in the form of definitions, are sufficient to form the basis on which th...e whole superstructure is reared. There is no occasion to inquire whether they correspond with facts, till we come SELF-DETERMINING POWER OF THE WILL. S9 to make use of the results of our reasoning, in their prac- tical applications. But in physical and mental philoso- phy, in moral and theological investigations, it is all im- portant, that the models of our definitions be taken, as nearly as possible, from the realities of nature and life.
The writers to whom Edwards has undertaken to re- ply, have given their definitions of freedom ; and some of them seem to suppose, that these will be admitted as settling the controversies respecting the will.
