What reading level is An Introduction to Mental Philosophy in Two Parts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We ought, therefore, in subjects which admit only of probability, always to distrust those arguments which are stated with mathematical precision, as in this form, either such a thing is, or is not ; for generally there is a third alter- native, which thus is kept out of sight.
Some may be unwilling to allow, that the only difference between Hypothesis, Theory, and Fact involving causation, consists in the degree of evidence on which they rest respectively. But if there be any other difference,... I should like to know what it is. Theory, it may be said, is used to explain facts, to account for them ; but what is meant by these phrases *? To explain a phenomenon or fact, or to account for it, properly signifies, as we have seen, to point out the cause thereof; and the cause, when proved, must be another fact, or, until fully proved, a theory. Cer- tainly, our speculative knowledge is thus enlarged, and possibly the cause may be one which we can apply to practice; but we are not to suppose that the fact explained is one whit less mysterious than before.
