What reading level is The Philosophy of Disenchantment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Through a vulgar and commonplace suicide ? Not at all.
Schopenhauer is far too logical to suggest a pal- liative so fruitless and clap-trap as that. For sui- cide, far from being a denial of the will to live, is one of its strongest affirmations. Paradoxical as it may seem, the man who takes his own life really wants to live ; what he does not want are the misery and trials attendant on his particular existence. He abolishes the individual, but not the race. The species continues, and pain with... it.
In what manner, then, can we decently rid our- selves, and all who would otherwise follow, of the pangs and torments of life ? Schopenhauer will give the receipt in a moment ; but to understand the method clearly, it is necessary to take a glance at the metaphysics of love.
We are told by Dr. Frauenstadt that Schopen- hauer considered this portion of his philosophy to be " a pearl." A pearl it may be, but as such it is not entirely suited to an Anglo-Saxon set- ting ; nevertheless, as it is important to gain some idea of what this clear-eyed recluse thought of the delicate lever which disturbs the gravest interests, and whose meshes entwine peer and peasant alike, a brief description of it will not be entirely out of place.
