What reading level is The Field of Philosophy; An Outline of Lectures On Introduction to Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mind has interests and seeks to realize values. It is pur- posive and develops new interests and values, and continually devises new means to realize its values.
The dualistic theory thus seems to be based on obvi- ous facts and contrasts in respect to the relation of mind and body. The Cartesian dualist says that the body apart from mind is mechanical, a system of juxtaposed points moving in space. In this way (159) 160 THE FIELD OF PHILOSOPHY he assumes that the body is a mere machine. Such w...as Descartes' view. He held that animals had no minds and, therefore, were automata.
What are some of the objections to this theory?
First of all, it is inconceivable and inexplicable how an unextended principle can act upon an extended principle ; because of this it is said that the relation cannot be explained. To this objection, however, the dualist may reply that many inconceivable things are facts, and he will urge that it is our province to be guided by facts rather than by con- siderations of inconceivability.
