What reading level is The Order of Nature; An Essay book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If this be so we are confronted by a genuine paradox. Looking at physico-chemical phenomena on the one hand, we declare that the principles of thermodynamics fully prove absolute mechanical Digitized by Google 100 NATURE determinism in all material systems of whatever nature. Turning then to the phenomena of volun- tary action, we can see no escape from the view that, if determinism be universal, it is not at least always in the strict sense mechanical. The only principle of determination in th...e sequence of events seems to be teleological. Who indeed can so far forget common sense as to deny this in the case of any plan ? Here is a stark contradiction.
This psycho-physical paradox is one of the most tormenting that the hiunan mind has ever con- structed, and countless efforts have been made to escape from it. One of the most curious of these is the tychism of Charles Peirce. According to this idea the laws of nature possess not an absolute but only a statistical character.^ Not even the laws of conservation are absolutely true, but they are only approximations.
