What reading level is The Philosophy of Despair book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The beast fits the forest forthe same reason that the river fits its bed. Life is only possible underthe rare conditions in which life is not destroyed.
In such fashion we may ring the changes of the despair of philosophy. Ifwe are to take up the threads of life by the farther end only, we shallnever begin to live, for only those which lie next us can ever be in ourhand. To grasp at ultimate truth is to be forever empty-handed. To reachfor the ultimate end of action is never to begin to act.
De...eper and more worthy of respect is the sadness of science. The effort"to see things as they really are, " to get out of all make-believe andto secure that "absolute veracity of thought" without which sound actionis impossible does not always lead to hopefulness.
There is much to discourage in human history, --in the facts of humanlife. The common man, after all the ages, is still very common. He isignorant, reckless, unjust, selfish, easily misled. All public affairsbear the stamp of his weakness.
