What reading level is Moral Values And the Idea of God: the Gifford Lectures Delivered in the ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A priori or mathematical reason- ing is powerless to predict the nature of the effect.
The advantage of the mechanical theory lies in its power of calculation and prediction; but this power is limited to the quantitative aspects of phenomena and does not extend to their qualities. Predictive power' in the latter respect does belong to the natural sciences, but it is derived not from the logic of mechanics but from experience, and depends both on the postulate of uni- formity and also on the act...ual degree of similarity which exists between past experience and present and future experience. The so-called mechanical theory of life is mechanical only in its quantitative aspects; as regards the qualitative aspect of vital phenomena, it is empirical, as indeed physics and chemistry are. It is only in a wider and somewhat loose sense that the theory is called mechanical or (perhaps better) mechanistic.
Even in this wider sense of the term, the mechanistic theory encounters a new difficulty when applied to the 1 Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, sect, xii, part 3, ed.
