What reading level is Speech of Dr Charles Knowlton in Support of Materialism Against the Argument book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When we say the chemical union of sulphur and the elements of water gives rise to acidity (the new body thus formed being called oil of vitriol?) we say so because the oil of vitriol changes blue vege- table colors to red, unites and neutralizes the alkalies, excites a peculiar sensation in the mouth, &c. , which neither of its separate ingredients would do; and not because we suppose there is anything more in existence than before the union. It is just so with all other secondary properties, w...he- ther physical, chemical or organic. No kind of union creates anything but only this; new forms of matter act and are acted upon in new ways as it is very reasonable to suppose they should they exhibit new phenomena ; and therefore we give them new properties, and to these properties we give names.
Now we have just as good reason, and as many reasons, for saying that matter possesses the property of attraction, of color, acidity, or any other property whatever. The fact that matter does unite organically is positive proof that it has the property of doing so, and this property is what I mean by the organizing property of matter.
