What reading level is Theism And Humanism Being the Gifford Lectures Delivered At the University of G book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Science thinks, rightly or wrongly, that she is concerned with a real world, which persists independently of our experience : she has never assented to the doctrine that the object of her patient investigations is no more than a well-contrived invention for enabling us to foretell, and perhaps to modify, the course of our personal feelings.
But then, if science is right, we are com- mitted to a division between the contents of immediate experience and its causes, which showed itself dimly and t...entatively in the dis- tinction between the secondary and the primary qualities of matter, but has become deeper and more impassable with every advance in physics and physiology. It was possible to maintain (though, I admit, not very easy) that, while the secondary qualities of matter are due to 160 PERCEPTION, COMMON SENSE the action of the primary quaUties on our organs of perception, the primary qualities themselves are, nevertheless, the objects of direct experience. The fact, for example, that colour is no more than a sensation need not preclude us from perceiving the material quali- ties which, like shape, or motion, or mass, are the external and independent causes to which the sensation is due.
