What reading level is A Realistic Universe; An Introd. to Metaphysics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But can we also conceive of energetic THE CONCEPT OF CONSCIOUSNESS 127 process producing a fact which is not energy at all — not trans- formable into energy, to be sure, because it is a different sort of fact, but can it, not being energy, be caused by energy?
There is an unbridgable saltus here in the thinking of material- ism ; and none have been more candid in admitting this than some of the materialists themselves.
I do not see, however, that the saltus is any greater in making a non-energe...tic consciousness the effect of energetic changes than in recognizing, as James and Minot do, that consciousness is not a thing or energy, and yet make it produce energetic changes. The chasm is about as wide one way as the other.
That one form of energy can bring about changes in another form of energy is within experience and probability, but not that energy should be converted into non-energy, or vice versa.
If materialism holds with Hobbes that consciousness is a property of matter and not a miracle merely, it must also admit that it is totally different in kind from any other properties.
