What reading level is The Formal And Material Elements of Kants Ethics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all circumstances (universally), and at any price (unconditionally), man is to protect the humanity represented in himself, for " morality, and human- ity as capable of it, alone has worth. " No supposed duties to others, even though also based on the dignity of human nature, can transcend this primary duty or even conflict with it ; for social duties or duties to others generally are condi- tional on that owed to self. " No good can come to man but through himself. Likewise, no harm can com...e to him but through himself. By no possible chance can aught befall a man that hath not its origin or cause within the individual himself. All which he experiences is for his good. When he learns this he will then no more shun penalty, pain and death, so-called. " These are sentiments moving one naturally to the position which Kant is expressing in so formal a manner. In the case, for example, of our duty to speak the truth (or the opposite, as it may be) to a murderer who asks us whether our friend, of whom he is in pursuit, has taken refuge in our house; 3 the question at issue is whether the ordinary duty to self, and to the humanity represented in our person, is of greater or less obligation than the duty to preserve a fellow-being's life.
