What reading level is Studies in Christian Philosophy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Social organisation and social ideals have shown the same character. Compared with all other civilisa- tions, Christendom has possessed a freedom of adapta- tion and a forward impulse which is without parallel.
Nor is the fact of progress the most important aspect of this differentiating factor. Deeply rooted in the mind of Western civilisation is the idea of progress.
The ideal which hovers before its mind is not that of some relatively perfect condition of social life which shall be maintaine...d against peril of change, but rather that of an uninterrupted development which Digitized by VjOOQIC CHRISTIAN VIEW OF WORLD 59 enlarges its ideal as the successive stages of advance unfold themselves. We are apt to overlook the uniqueness of the idea of progress because it has entered so intimately into the constitution of our minds, so that we are scarcely able to imagine a civilisation in which it does not exercise a like in- fluence. Yet a comparison with the ancient civilisa- tions and with the still existing cultures of China and India is suj£cient to establish the fact of the difference on which we have been dwelling.
