What reading level is Natural Law An Essay in Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We may have a just sense of past compulsion and present instigation without disguising our ignorance of what lies in front of us or pretending to limit the future to conformity with our theories ; and yet we want a theory of theories to bind together every age and make our faith reasonable. We have not to attain the ideal of a thousand years hence, or of a thousand years ago ; we have ideals now, though most of us are ashamed to own it, and it is the ideal of to-day that we have to pursue with ...religious faith and zeal. The summuni lonum is the best possible growth, and the perfection to be sought in every age is the best growth of human power and sensibility possible to that age, and we know no formula that serves better than this to justify the perpetual pursuit of a changing goal, which seems to be the condition of healthy life.
But, it will perhaps be said, if there is nothing better in rerum natura than the noblest of living men or women, what have they to aspire after ? If there is no God hold- ing an ideal in front of them, to which it is their duty to be conformed, what sense is there in the passionate struggle after ideals, which no one will go to hell for not reaching, which no one can reach, which no one will go to heaven for endeavouring to reach ?
