What reading level is The Religion And Ethics of Tolstoy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In his later years it is to be feared that the depersonahzing, mystical, and ascetic elements in Tolstoy's religion were becoming very unduly aggressive. His soul was trying, though happily not quite successfully, to bring itself into harmony with the doctrine preached by Emerson, when, in one of his Pantheistic moods, he declared that, through our particular human affections for persons, we are put in training for a love that knows not persons. To most of us this strictly im- personal love can...not but appear rather Uke that feehng which Aristotle called ivatery affection. We consider it a kind of Satan assuming the garb of an angel of light, a sort of emotional tepidness that seeks to array itself in the glorious robes of that divine charity which knows how to concen- trate as well as to diffuse itself, which can truly love all men whilst it is not ashamed to love some more than others. True Pauline and Christian charity grows and thrives all the more vigorously because, from time to time, it finds a rallying place in certain fervent personal loves.
