What reading level is Studies in Philosophy And Literature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But no careful student of history can fail to see that the risk of lapsing into quietism has been greatest in the most intellectual men, and the most intellectual ages. Meditative luxury may breed inaction and a loss of faith in the worth and power of action, which is one of the greatest calamities that can befall a thinker. In proportion to the very delicacy of his perceptions, he may shrink from action, till he has satisfied himself that he has avoided the risk of bias. Thus, a disinclination... to arise and take part in re- dressing unquestionable wrongs is very easily engen- dered. The fascinations of cultured thought are great, especially when accompanied by a recoil from the raw- ness of Philistine modes of action, with their precipi- tate and unreflective ardours. But the Hellenist is most likely to become disgusted with practical life altogether ; and, in his anxiety to escape from the whirlpool of blind endeavour, he runs the risk of being left high and dry on the rock of a listless inactivity.
