What reading level is The Conception of a Kingdom of Ends in Augustine Aquinas And Leibniz book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Aquinas sins the less grievously against the con- ception of divine fatherhood, since he teaches that unbaptized infants, though not given a heritage in the fatherland, are preserved in a region where they do not suffer and may to some extent participate in the divine goodness by sharing natural joys. He also, though not with marked success, represents the exclusion of others as more distinctly a thing permitted by the divine plan and dependent upon human choice, than as predestined and absolut...ely inevitable without respect to human choice, a conclusion which Augustine had made some effort to avoid. It cannot be said that Thomas succeeds in making the character of the founder of the church appear just and impartial.
(2) Aquinas leaves the individual with moral initiative sufficient for a rather imperfect kingdom of ends wherein the common good is sought and true moral virtues abound; he also escapes the sharp denial of moral initiative with respect to the more perfect eternal kingdom.
