What reading level is The Sensualistic Philosophy of the Nineteenth Century Considered book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Not at all. There is, indeed, no foothold for religion in man's rational nature ; but his emotions impel him to religion. And emotions are one essential side of human nature, and a very useful and noble side. Hence, the demand which man's emotive system makes for a relig- ion is not to be despised. The result seems to be this : that provided a man knows that he knows nothing on earth about any God, he may feel as affectionately dis- posed towards God as he pleases, and Professor Tyn- dal will n...ot despise him ! But if he ever pretends to see any reason for his feelings, he is riot to be tolerated. Such is a just statement of this charitable and pious concession, and no travesty. The absurdity is suffi- ciently exposed by the statement itself. Or if any farther explanation is needed, it is found in this ques- tion : Under what condition can rational emotions rise in the soul ? Only when a proper object of them is be- lievingly seen in the intelligence. If one has feeling under any other condition, it is blind ; and unless it has a merely animal function to fulfil, it is a morbid affec- tion of the soul, and needs to be rebuked.
