What reading level is The Study of Ethics a Syllabus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Duty as Motive. We turn now to the other aspect of the question. How is it, upon Kant's theory, that the conscious- ness of law universal becomes an interest a conception which takes hold practically and mores to execution; how~aoes it be- come a motor, become dynamic?
Kant's solution may be summarized as follows: The moral law must of itself be -the spring to action; if it make use of some feeling already in existence to become the motive, then an act will be performed which has legality (5. E.... , outward conformity to duty) but not morality, because not springing from a purely moral motive. "The essential point is that the THE STUD'S OF ETHICS. 107 agent be determined simply by the moral law, not only with- out the co-operation of sensible impulses, but even to the re- jection of all such. " (Abbott, p. 165. ) Thus the moral law snubs the impulses, and in so far gives rise to the feeling of humiliation; the pretension of the agent to worth in himself (self-conceit) is struck down, and his effort to be happy (self, love) is deprived of all valid claim to control.
