To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
' Chance ' is a high degree of contin- gency. ' Necessity ' means that there is no such dependence, that the conditions are exhausted. The statement that 'all certitude is hypothetical ' is true if it means that all certitude is dependent upon our knowing the conditions of the problem in question ; i. E. , if we are justified in saying that we have exhausted the conditions, the thing is certain. The principle of the uniformity of nature (which does not mean that the future will resemble the pas...t) is a particular application of the logical principle of identity. It is implied as soon as anything is experienced as the same under different conditions, and it means that the same thing under the same conditions will always behave in the same way. The question ' How far does this uniformity reach ? ' does not mean, ' How many things are capricious ? ' but, ' How much of the world is not merely theoretically (in anticipation) but actually (in experience) uniform ? ' or, ' Over how much of the world are we able to realize uniformity?
