What reading level is A Theory of Civilisation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is in the almost commonplace truism that the mother loves her child that Isidian worship appears to have all its meaning. The worship was evolved in order that the natural mother- love might find a psychic glorification, which would tend to intensify it beyond that natural point in which the human animal is not so very strongly contrasted with the lower animals. We can see with facility how the courage of the timorous hen had to evolve itself, so to speak, into existence for the pro- tection... of the chickens, who might not have 166 A THEORY OF CIVILISATION survived without it to propagate their kind ; and similar courage was evolved, no doubt, in a similar way in the human mother. But such courageous love was not all that was desirable in her who was to be the mother of civilised man, ancestress of a civilised race ; more than that was desirable : for the sake of this further desirability Isidian worship was evolved, so that the human mother might come to realise the dignity that was put upon her in becoming the mother of a man-child, even as I sis had become the mother of Horus.
