What reading level is Notes On Prof. Ormond's Metaphysics Lectures…by J. P. King book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
and given these, can the result be inevitably predetermined ?
Distinguish here between prediction founded 1. on causality ; 2.
on prohahility: also between (a) averages ; and (b) individual cases.
Only (1) and (b) ai-e under consideration here. The issue is ethical.
On the categories of right and wrong we find a scale of ethical values : (1) Negative values : things always wrong. (2) Positive values : the subordination of lower to higher motives. Conscience rejects (1) and attaches itself to th...e higher of (2). e. g., Joseph 12 in Potipliar's house, resists strong temptation by fixing his atten- tion on fidelity to his master and duty to his God. Divine help was given by enabling liim to do this. There are two elements in choice in view of temptation : (1) the motives ; (2) the will which fixes attention on certain motives. Individual action cannot be pre- dicted ; for while we can calculate the relative strength of motives, attention comes in to make some motives stronger than usual, and this renders the whole incalculable.
