What reading level is Hume book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, though, in the person ofPhilo, Hume assumes the axiom "that whatever begins to exist must have acause, " which he denies in the _Treatise_, he must have seen, for achild may see, that the assumption is of no real service.
Suppose Y to be the imagined first cause and Z to be its effect. Let theletters of the alphabet, _a_, _b_, _c_, _d_, _e_, _f_, _g_, in theirorder, represent successive moments of time, and let _g_ represent theparticular moment at which the effect Z makes its appeara...nce. It followsthat the cause Y could not have existed "in its full perfection" duringthe time _a_--_e_, for if it had, then the effect Z would have come intoexistence during that time, which, by the hypothesis, it did not do. Thecause Y, therefore, must have come into existence at _f_, and if"everything that comes into existence has a cause, " Y must have had acause X operating at _e_; X, a cause W operating at _d_; and, so on, _adinfinitum_. [31] If the only demonstrative argument for the existence of a Deity, whichHume advances, thus, literally, "goes to water" in the solvent of hisphilosophy, the reasoning from the evidence of design does not fare muchbetter.
