What reading level is Goethes Philosophy Fifth Annual Address Before the Alumni Association of the U book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Professor Falkenberg, in his summary of the philoso- phy of Spinoza, has pointed out, that thinker held that "In reality everything is that which it can be, hence without defect; everything is, in itself considered, per- fect; even the fool and the sinner cannot bo otherwise than they are; they appear imperfect only when placed beside the wise and the virtuous. Sin is thus only a lesser reality than virtue, evil a 1 i good; good and 18 Goethe's Philosophy.
bad, activity and passivity, power ...and weakness are merely distinctions in degree. " 1 I make this quotation touching Spinoza's philosophy to point out the source of, or, at least, the corroborating authority in Goethe's philosophy. Goethe acknowledged himself the debtor of Spinoza. They held, in common, that " particular cases of defect are justified by the per- fection of the whole;" that the Universe is perfect to an Infinite intelligence, and that only our finite, diminutive mental grasp fails to reach the higher unity.
Then, to sum up Goethe's position on what human speech designates as death, destruction, and dissolution in the physical universe, as sin and evil in the spiritual, it is evident, that he considered them the necessary con- ditions or stages in a process of evolution and growth.
