To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, in any instance whatever of physical causation, let an apparent repetition of the cause not be fol- lowed by that of the effect ; and all men alike, philosophical or unphilosophical, will at once assert that there was some latent variety in the circumstances, and not a change in the uniformity of their succession. The Principle of Causality, as thus exhibited, seems to combine in one formula two separate 160 PROLEGOMENA LOGICA. elements, the one necessary, the other empirical. That matter ...in every relation is subject to some law, by virtue of which a given antecedent admits at any one time of only one possible consequent, seems to be a necessary and unavoidable con- viction. That this law will be manifested by the production of similar phenomena on similar oc- casions, is the result of a combination of this necessary conviction with the experience of the actual evidence of law in our own world, in those cases which are most open to observation. I can suppose it possible that in another world the law may be manifested in another way, ac- cording to which the phenomena of matter may have no settled relations to each other, but phenomena at one time and in one place con- nected as cause and effect, may at another time or in another place have no connection at all.
