What reading level is Essays And Letters book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the disentanglement of these insoluble contra- dictions, or, rather, in order to hide them from one's self, great ability and special mental endowments are necessary ; but to know the law of one's life, or, as you express it, to attain full and clear understand ing of one s belief, no special mental gifts are required — we only need be careful not to accept anything con- trary to reason, not to deny our reason, religiously to guard our reason and believe in it alone. If the mean- REASON AND... RELIGION 159 ing of his life seems obscure to a man, this does not prove that his reason is incompetent to explain that meaning ; it only indicates that he has credulously- accepted too much that is irrational, and that what has not been verified by reason must be set aside.
And, therefore, my answer to your root question, as to whether we must strive to attain a clear understand- ing of our inner life, is, that that is the most necessary and important thing we can do in life. It is necessary and important because the only reasonable meaning of our life consists in fulfilment of the will of God, who has sent us here.
