What reading level is An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, And Selections From a Treatise of Human Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If it be convey'd to us by our senses, I ask, which of them; and after what manner ? If it be perceiv'd by the eyes, it must be colour; if by the ears, a sound; if by the palate, a taste; and so of the other senses. But I believe none will assert, that substance is either a colour, or sound, or a taste. The idea of substance must therefore be deriv'd from an impression of re- flexion, if it really exist. But the impressions of re- flexion resolve themselves into our passions and emo- tions; non...e of which can possibly represent a sub- stance. We have therefore no idea of substance, dis- tinct from that of a collection of particular qualities, nor have we any other meaning when we either talk or reason concerning it.
The idea of a substance as well as that of a mode, is nothing but a collection of simple ideas, that are united by the imagination, and have a particular name 238 A TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE PART I assigned them, by which we are able to recall, either to ourselves or others, that collection.
