What reading level is The London Quarterly Review book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are often reminded of the saying of Kant : " Two things fill me with awe — the starry heavens and the sense of moral responsibility in man." But where are the heavens and the conscience now in modern thought?
Speaking of the " boundless firmament " and its orbs, J. S.
Mill writes : " Though the vast scale of these phenomena may well excite wonder, the feeling it inspires is of a totally different character from admiration of excellence.
Those in whom awe produces admiration may be aestheti- ...cally developed, but they are morally uncultivated." f If the witches have not stolen the holy stars and left all dark the philosophers have. Then as to the sense of moral responsibility, all the mystery and grandeur of that sense has clean gone since the ethical faculty has been reckoned as the aggregate of the experiences of pleasure and pain in our ancestors, and nothing more. Many of our atheists and materialists still cling to the reality of virtue, and call life sacred, and noble, and what not; but the more thoroughgoing sceptics of the Continent go all the way with their principles, and utterly discard all fine phrases- They see that with the supernatural the mystic glory of life has departed: they refuse any longer to put grand names on mean things.
