What reading level is Ethics: An Investigation of the Facts And Laws of the Moral Life book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An act is good not because it harmonises with the law, but because the good is freely chosen. Thus, in opposition to the scholastic intellectualism, which had subordinated will to knowledge and described conscience as a faculty of judgment and inference, the Reformation regards the moral will as that power of the human soul which ranks above all the powers of thought and knowledge.
It was by its defence of these fundamental principles of practical ethics, rather than by the further elaborations... of its ethical theory, which remained in many respects under the influence of dogmatic and even in part of scholastic traditions, that the Reformation determined the tendency of modern ethics. It was not to be expected that the Reformation spirit would develope to its final result without arousing opposition from many quarters, or that it would escape the effects of the older forces which worked along with it. The period of Enlightenment which followed the Reformation may almost be said to have inclined more to the Nominalism and Intellectualism of departing Scholasticism than to the Protestant principle of freedom.
