What reading level is A History of Psychology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The opposite of cruelty is the state of clemency, which is not a passion but a control exercised by reason. Other passions, such as voluptuousness, avarice, etc., arise from Desire, distinguished by their objects only.
Following the plan described on p. 242 we now pass from the passive to the active states.
Reason constitutes character by restraining passions ; but the restraint is only achieved through other passions. The Cartesian maxim is opposed by Spinoza when he says "Affectus nee coercer...i nee tolli posse, nisi per affectuum contrarium et fortiorem affectu coercendo " (iv. 7). The general name for strength of character is Fortitudo, including Animositas (strength of mind) and Generositas (nobleness). These are desires which tend only to the useful. By these we set the greater good of the future before that of the present, and in general subordinate impulses to calculations. Sobriety, chastity, and such virtues are due to this control of " presented " by " represented " ideas, as Spencer afterwards expressed it.
