What reading level is Francis Hutcheson, His Life, Teaching And Position in the History of Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Self-Love unifies ^a^ticular affections according to a scale of natural good merely, that is pleasure and pleasure only. Benevolence, on the other hand, deals with ')7ioral good, which is not individual pleasure but universalistic happiness with a reference to per- fection. Thus, Happiness, as a result of Self-Love, is a sum of personal or individual pleasures — it " denotes pleasant sensation of any kind or a continued state of such Sensations^ " — and, as such, the individual is looked upon a...s isolated, and his relation to the macrocosm is destroyed. On the other hand, the Happiness which Benevolence seeks, is the union of the individual with the system as a whole; and, being universal- istic, includes a reference to the perfection of that whole". Further the perfection of the individual is not only included as that of a part of the Macrocosm, bat also the perfection of the individual as in himself a microcosm. In fact, by following Self-Love, the individual cannot be perfect since he is no longer a system or microcosm, while, by acting benevolently, he realises the cosmic relation and thereby perfects himself \ In the Treatise on the Passions, the references to Perfection are slight and are rather hints of a theory to come, than the theory itself in actual realisation.
