What reading level is The Theory of Abstract Ethics book?

The whole complex system no one has ever accepted in its entirety ; and, avowedly or not, the preliminary alike to following and to criticising has always been artificial simplification. This was the method of Hegel ; who, in putting forth all his power to show the want of content in Kant's formalism, dealt with it as the most thoroughgoing utilitarian might have done. Thus Hegel may be taken as typical of Kant's critics.
His own doctrine, at the summit, is a doctrine of the end or highest good..., not of a priori law. The Hegelian formula, "self-realisation, " undoubtedly includes a regard for personality absent from what is thought to be typical utilitarianism, with its "hedonical calculus"; but, after all, self-realisation is a formula of the Art of Life, not of Abstract Ethics. In my view, it is a very good formula in its own sphere; but it does not solve, but evades, the real question raised by Kant. Of course it is not necessarily an egoistic formula, and is not in the least 64 THE HISTORY OF ABSTRACT ETHICS [CH.
