What reading level is The Religion of Nature book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E. , not the civilised human point of view.
And, viewing the conduct of the higher animals, the least observant of us must often be forced to conclude that they have no sensi- bility at all.
A terrier will tear himself repeatedly among thorns in pursuit of a rabbit, and still be keen to enter them.
ACTIONS OF ANIMALS EXPLAINED 81 If his back itches he will rub it into a sore, and continue to rub the sore whenever he has nothing else to think of, until he has caused a wound that makes one shudde...r to look at. Yet he goes on rubbing the bleeding flesh all the same. Evidently the instinct which should impel him not to aggravate the wound is alto- gether obliterated by the instinct which impels him to ease an itching spot by rubbing.
I have seen a monkey who, through sheer ennui, ate his tail inch by inch ; and I have stood before his cage watching him nibble at its bleeding stump, until I felt quite certain that in the satisfaction of his instinct to be always busy his instinctive aversion to injury which a human mind would translate into terms of "pain" was at rest.
