To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the other hand, such ideas as ' substance ' and ' cause, ' ' time ' and ' space, ' represent, not the effects produced on us by things, but what is truly objective and real. Now, to which of these two classes do the ideas of Good and Evil belong ? If sense alone be the source and origin of knowledge, the doctrine of aesthetic feelings, or moral taste, seems the only available one. But such ideas as time, space, and cause, are not derived from sense, or any manipulation of sense by ex- perien...ce or association ; they have their birth in the intelligent principle which thus vindicates its claim to be a veritable source of ideas. If Right and Wrong are qualities of actions, of objects ; if they have some character of reality truly belonging to them, and truly affirmable of them, then they must emanate from the Intelligent principle, not from Sensation. Morality has its source in the Reason. Such, then, is Price's position as opposed to Hutche- son. But we must attempt to define with more precision his place in the Rationalist ranks, by dis- covering the interpretation he gives of moral ideas as ideas of reason.
