What reading level is Egotism in German Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For one thing he was many-sided, not encyclopaedic; he went out to greet the variety of things, he did not pack it together. He did not even arrange the phases of his experience (as he did those of Faust) in an order supposed to be a progress, although, as the commentators on Faust inform us, not a progress in mere goodness. Hegel might have understood all these moral attitudes, and described them in a way not meant to appear satirical; but he would have criticised and demolished them, and decl...ared them obsolete — all but the one at which he happened to stop. Goethe loved them all; he hated to outgrow them, and if involuntarily he did so, at least he still honoured the feelings that he had lost. He kept his old age genial and green by that perennial love. In order to hold his head above water and be at peace in his own heart, he did not need to be a Christian, a pagan, or an epicurean; yet he lent himself unreservedly, in imagination, to Christianity, paganism, and sensuality — three things 46 EGOTISM IN GERMAN PHILOSOPHY your transcendental egotist can never stomach : each in its way would impugn his self-sufficiency.
