What reading level is Studies in Humanism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would go on believing in what to its critics seemed the absurd and impossible, with a pathetic and heroic faith that all would ' some day ' 2 be explained ' somehow. ' 3 2. This possibility, at any rate, deserves to be examined. For religions are as such deserving of re- spectful and sympathetic consideration from a Humanist philosophy. They are pragmatically very potent influ- ences on human life, and the religious instinct is one of the deepest in human nature. It is also one of the queere...st in the wide range of its manifestations. There are no materials so unpromising that a religion cannot be fashioned out of them. There are no conclusions so bizarre that they cannot be accepted with religious fervour. There are no desires so absurd that their satis- faction may not be envisaged as an act of worship, lifting a man out of his humdrum self.
There is, therefore, no antecedent absurdity in the idea that Absolutism is at bottom a religious creed, a development of, or a substitute for, or perhaps even a per- version of, some more normal form of religious feeling, such as might well be fomented in an academic atmosphere.
