What reading level is Primer of Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gravity of a stone, for instance, persists. The stone still gravitates toward the centre of the eartVi after it has fallen. Thus, the cause would exist even after its effect. Says the Latin proverb : Ccssante causa cessat ef- fectus. This is nonsensical, for every cause is ended when its effect has appeared. The touch of a key on the piano represents a certain expenditure of energy which is transferred, first to the hammer, and then to the chord, which at once begins to vibrate. These vibration...s are then transferred to the air, and through the air to the acoustic nerve and to the brain, where the vibrations are felt as a peculiar sensation. There is a constant transfer of energy taking place, and the cause is always past as soon as the effect appears, for, though the cause continues to exist in the effect, it ceases to exist in its original form ; every effect is its cause transformed under special circumstances. The Latin proverb should read : Cessante ratione cessat consequetis. If a certain reason ceases, its con- sequence also will cease.
