What reading level is Manual of the Science of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The order of nature is looked on with religious reverence as the rule to be followed in all Ch. 39. THE ANCIENT IMPEEIAL RELIGION. 347 moral actions ; and political institutions are regarded as laws of nature. But people did not yet realise the antithesis which we have expressed in these words. This regulation is an essentially moral one ; heaven punishes and rewards, causes sorrow to the proud, and gives blessing to the humble. The will of heaven is manifested in a peculiar way through the voi...ce of the people. Thus it more especially happens that bad rulers receive their condemnation ; their rejection by the nation is thus the voice of heaven. A remarkable sign of the continuance of these funda- mental conceptions is the fact, that about thirty years ago, the emperor in resisting English demands ap- pealed to the indignation of the people, and gave as his doctrinal reason that the tendency of the hearts of the people formed the basis of the decrees of heaven. With the worship of heaven, Shang-Ti, or the general order of the world, is connected the worship of spirits.
