What reading level is The Treatment of Personality By Locke Berkeley And Hume a Study in the Intere book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Alciphron first objects that human liberty, which alone can vindicate moral responsibility, is impossible because volition is merely the mechanical effect of the striking of corporeal objects upon the organs of sense, — "communicated to the soul or animal spirit in the brain, " in which is produced a determination which necessarily results in action. "This being the case, it follows that those things which vulgarly pass for human actions are to be esteemed mechancial, and that they are falsely
...ascribed to a free principle" {Alciphron, § i6). We think we are free, but in reality we are puppets, whose threads or wires are invisible.
Euphranor willingly admits that this argument is pertinent enough in the case of one who concedes that the soul is corporeal ; but the soul is incorporeal, and so one cannot speak of it as being "moved. " Much less then can he identify its volition with mechanical motion. "Motion and thought are two things as manifestly distinct as a triangle and a sound" {Ale, § i6).
