What reading level is Ethica Or the Ethics of Reason book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
275 motion for the purpose of securing the happiness of self in the sense of the fulfilment of self, however lofty its aims may appear, and however sublime its sacrifices in the dread names of Law and God.
Now, as regards the object or aim of Will. The idea that is to be subsumed as motive, that is to say, which will-reason contemplates and seeks to bring into union or identity with itself through volition is not there present to my consciousness as a pathological felicity but as a reason-idea,... and, as such, law. The object, then, is not happiness, but law (though primarily ascer- tained through the real of feeling).
The result, however, of the subsumption and conse- quent volition is doubtless the satisfaction of reason in the sense of fulfilment of itself, or identity with itself in the real. And it is to be admitted that, were not this the result, the motive and the volition would be abjured by reason. There seems, then, to be ultimately some egoistic standard of good. And this undoubtedly there is.
