What reading level is Goethe, With Special Consideration of His Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He must be animated with the spirit of independence, and yet possess a spirit of reverence and regard for order. He must be a doubter and yet have faith. He must be a Titan, a rebel, an iconoclast, perhaps even an atheist, and yet he must be devout and filled with love of God.
There was something of the nature of both Ganymede and Prometheus in Goethe.
Goethe was too broad to be either a Christian or an anti- Christian. He was both, and the Christians in his time, too narrow to understand his p...osition, called him a pagan. Goethe was sufficiently clear-sighted to see that they were Christians in name only, and that in spite of his unbelief he himself was a better Christian than they. He said: "Who to-day is such a Christian as Christ would have him? Perhaps I am the only one, although you consider me a heathen." Goethe was sometimes a pantheist after the heart of Spinoza, and, as he himself said, sometimes a polytheist who found the most perfect exposition of his religious views in Greek mythol- ogy ; again he was a Christian and a theist.
