What reading level is Schopenhauer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It should reveal the end in view quite openly, and should avoid everything which is merely aimless. Thus it achieves the grace which is the result of ease, and the subordination of every detail to its purpose.
It follows from Schopenhauer's treatment of archi- tecture that he held Greek work of the best period to be the highest type of building which it is possible to attain. In its best examples that style is perfect and complete, and is not susceptible of any important improvement. The modern... architect, he held, cannot depart, to any great extent, from the rules and models of the Greeks, without descending the path of deterioration. There remains nothing for him to do but to apply the art transmitted to him, and to carry out the rules laid down, so far as he is able under the limitations of climate, age, and country.
Schopenhauer, therefore, had no appreciation of Gothio architecture. The simple rationality of the Greek temple delights him, but the Gothic cathedral leaves him cold and unmoved.
