What reading level is The Metaphysic of Ethics; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
FANATICISM, in its most extensive sense, may be defined an overstepping, upon system, of the limits and barriers of human reason ; and if this be so, then ETHICAL FANATICISM will be the overstepping of those limits put by pure practical reason to humanity, when she forbids man to place the sub- jective determinator of his will, i. E. , the ethical spring to dutiful actions, anywhere else than in the law, or to entertain sentiments in his maxims other than reverence toward this law : consequentl...y ordaining man not to forget to make DUTY his supreme practical principle of conduct, a conception which at once dashes both arrogance and self-love.
Upon this same account, not only novel-writers and sen- timental pedagogues (however these last declaim at senti- mentalism), but even philosophers, nay, the most rigid of all the Stoic sages, have helped to introduce ethical fanaticism instead of a sober and wise gymnastic discipline of ethics ; nor can we here regard this distinction, that the fanaticism of these sages was heroic, whereas that of the others was of a more effeminate and shallow kind ; and it can be affirmed without the least hypocrisy, that the moral precepts of the Gospel were what first introduced purity of moral principle, and that they did at the same time, by their adaptation and fitness to the limits of finite beings, in placing all good con- duct in man's subordination and subjection of his will to the Spring of the Will.
