What reading level is A Study of Origins Or the Problems of Knowledge of Being And of Duty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The brute may indeed have a certain intelligence, a certain life of the affections, but it never attains to personality or free- will. Though it sometimes rises a little above instinct, it is never conscious of itself as a free, persistent, progressive being, really distinct from the things around it. Still more evident is it that it knows nothing of reason and its laws, of conscience and its obligations, of free-will and its high perils. Maine de Biran sums up in the following passage his view...s of the rela- tions between man and the brutes. " We find in our compound nature various facts uncontrolled by the will. We awake sud- denly with violent and hasty movements, under the impres- sion of imminent danger. At the instant of waking, the ego, recovering possession of its domain, grasps, so to speak, in the very act, the products of a force not its own (though it imitates or simulates the acts of the ego), and at once arrests, suspends them and begins another course of action controlled by the will.
