What reading level is The Foundations of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if He determines not to will, what is there to be said against it ? To deny that He can refuse to will is to deny His omnipotence, it is to make even Him a slave to necessity. We 64 MAN [CHAP. IV ourselves know that in the case of a servant we can will that he shall perform a certain act, and that if we so will, it will be performed. ' I say to this man, Do this, and he doeth it. ' But we can also, in our plenary authority, decide that we will leave it to his discretion or choice; and, in t...hat case, we do not know whether he will do it or not. So also may not God choose to leave it uncertain even to Himself, because He chooses to leave it to the human will ?
The best answer to both these doubts is, in fact, to be found in our own consciousness. Each one of us knows and feels that he may do an act or not do it as he pleases. He may lift his hand or let it rest at his pleasure. He may look up or keep his eyes fixed on the ground, he may rise or remain seated, he may go to one place or the other, he may do an act or refrain, all as his own will decides.
