What reading level is David Hume And His Influence On Philosophy And Theology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thomas Brown, who, while adopting Hume's view so far as it denied the objective connection of events, yet differed strongly from Hume on the power of custom to generate belief in the uniformity of nature. On this latter point Brown has left many acute re- marks, but his own theory is not much better than the one he criticises. " Power, " he says, " is nothing more than invariableness of antecedence. " 1 This, how- ever, is a simple question of fact. Do men really mean no more than Brown asserts... when they speak of power ? They mean, surely, by it, not only that one event follows another, has always followed it, and will always do so in the future, but that one object or event exercises a determining influence on another — has an efficacy in producing change in the other. This ele- ment Brown entirely leaves out. He resolves the idea of cause into that of uniformity of nature, and, after showing that custom could never account for our belief in that uniformity, calls in an ultimate principle to explain the latter.
