What reading level is Selections From the Scottish Philosophy of Common Sense book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What shall we say, then, of this conception, and this belief, which are so unaccountable and un- tractable ? I see nothing left, but to conclude, that, by an original principle of our constitution, a certain sensation of touch both suggests to the mind the conception of hardness, and creates the belief of it : or, in other words, that this sensation is a natural sign of hardness. And this I shall en- deavour more fully to explain.
§ 2. Of Natural Signs As in artificial signs there is often neit...her simili- tude between the sign and thing signified, nor any connection that arises necessarily from the nature of the things, so it is also in natural signs. The word gold has no similitude to the substance signified by it ; nor is it in its own nature more fit to signify this than any other substance ; yet, by habit and custom, it suggests this and no other. In like manner, a sensation of touch suggests hard- ness, although it hath neither similitude to hardness, nor, as far as we can perceive, any necessary con- nection with it.
